Concerned Residents Around Magee ( CRAM ) are calling for an immediate cap of 10% on HMOs in streets neighbouring the university.

Patrick Gill , a resident for 74 years , said people are worried about the area becoming another Holylands.

There are currently 212 HMO properties in Derry overall, more than 200 are in the BT48 postcode.

A planning committee meeting on 22 January agreed that all applications for HMOs will be brought to the committee for consideration.

A taskforce, including political representatives and statutory agencies, has also been established.

Ulster University said student accommodation in the city needs to grow alongside and support the sustainable growth in student numbers.
