Local residents have taken an appeal to An Bord Pleanala over a student accommodation complex at Coolough Road in the city.
The site is located near the junction of the Coolough Road and the Dyke Road - and it'd offer almost 600 bed spaces.
Despite strong objections from local residents - as well as street protests last year - city planners gave the green light in April.
The planned complex would have 84 apartments across 7 blocks, offering a total of almost 600 bed spaces.
Many locals stress they're not against housing in their area - but are just not happy with the scale and nature of this particular project.
Adding to their discontent is recent approval from An Bord Pleanala for a separate student block on a site just across the road.
An appeal's now been taken with the higher planning authority, with a decision due in August.
