On November 27, 2024, the Derry City and Strabane District Council approved a full planning application for the construction of 674 homes in Londonderry's Waterside area. This decision follows outline planning permission granted in 2019 to South Bank Square Ltd, which has committed to upgrading one of the city's busiest roundabouts as part of the development.
In a separate legal matter in Serbia, a court ruling has emerged regarding a land dispute in the village of Donje Medurovo, near Nis. The Court of Appeal determined that local authorities must return a plot of land to Slavisa Jovanovic, rather than paying the previously agreed price. This land had been sold for cemetery expansion in 2007, but since then, 150 individuals have been buried there, complicating the situation for Jovanovic.
