A major Newry housing development has been approved 10 years after its application following a long legal wrangle over a road upgrade.
An original planning approval had requested the developer MJM Group Ltd upgrade relevant parts of the main access Watson's Road before construction of 200 houses began.
In a variation of conditions, the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) has now consented for MJM to construct and occupy the first three phases from five of the development, before the road traffic works are completed.
