The planning application granted on August 13 means the council can proceed with the demolition of the three-storey blocks of flats on Haugh Street and Haugh Gardens, Langlees.
It was stated the flats had a high turnover of tenancies with associated rent loss, which was the main driving force behind the council’s plan to replace the existing buildings with new social housing for rent.
