Nine new listed buildings are being proposed in L'Derry.

Derry County Council and the Department of Environment (DOE) have met to discuss the plans, which have seen surveyors examining and researching the built heritage of L'Derry since June.

The buildings are the first results of the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) Second Survey.

The nine buildings are as follows:

• 54 Ardground Road, Killaloo.

• Cumber Bridge, Bridge over River Faughan.

• 24 Lower Ballyarton Road, Lower Alla.

• Cross Of Sacrifice, Great War Memorial, City Cemetery, Lone Moor Road, Derry.

• St. Augustine's School, Derry.

• 12 Magazine Street, Derry.

• 8 Palace Street, Derry.

• House approx. 200m north of 513 Baranailt Road, Claudy.

• House approx. 320m north of 513 Baranailt Road, Claudy.

The consultation submitted to the Council is the first of a number planned over coming months. As part of the process, it will also be asked this month for its views on the potential removal of six buildings from the list. Survey work has revealed that these buildings do not appear to meet the test required by the legislation.
