Plans have been put forward to demolish a landmark building in Derry and replace it with 23 apartments.
The owners of the Earth complex at the junction of Strand Road and Rock Road have applied for planning permission to knock the building down.
The demolition would incorporate both the Earth Nightclub and Cole’s Bar.
The proposal would then involve the construction of 23 apartments on the site.
Fourteen of the apartments would have one bedroom with the other nine having two bedrooms.
There is no provision for parking within the proposed apartment complex.
The owners of the Earth complex, Edenkeel Ltd, has submitted an application to the planning department of Derry City and Strabane District Council.
The decision on whether or not to grant planning permission now rests with local councillors.
Earth Nightclub was for many years one of Derry’s most popular nightspots, attracting hundreds of revellers each night it was open.
However, the nightclub has been closed for a number of years.
