Answer

Future options are being considered with a view to maximising the benefits that could be provided by development of the site. We are aware of interest in specific parts of the site from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and from NI Water. Accordingly, we have decided to look at dividing the site into lots.

A soft market testing exercise was completed earlier this year and we received several expressions of interest from local community groups. Officials have had a number of meetings with the local community association in Ballykelly.
