9. Planning Assessment and Other Material Considerations

Planning Policy

Derry Area Plan 2011

Policy IND1 Assessment of Industrial Proposals.

The scale of the development, any impact on amenity, heritage or nature conservation interest, the design and layout of the scheme, and whether the proposal is appropriate to the character of the area or settlement has been considered and there are no concerns and the access arrangements are acceptable. Appendix 6

Policy IND 3 Development within Existing Industrial Estates

The Department will normally approve industrial development in existing industrial estates so as to make full use of existing infrastructure. This proposal will enable access into these lands for future industrial purposes.

Policy IND 4 Environmental Impact

The potential impact on the environment has been assessed and Environmental Health and the Health and Safety Executive have no issues.

PPS 3 - Access, Movement and Parking.

The proposal meets the planning policies for vehicular access and Transport Ni have no issues with the proposal subject to condition.

PPS4 – Planning and Economic Development

This Policy sets out the planning policies for economic development uses and indicates how growth associated with such uses can be accommodated and promoted in development plans. This proposal for access into lands zoned for industry will facilitate future economic growth in this area and meets the criteria in Policy PED9 – General Criteria for Economic Development.

The site lies within Zoning IND 5 Campsey and comprises 20 hectares of flat land immediately to the north of Clooney Road. The proposal is an extension of an access already approved under planning application A/2007/0758/F. This approval has been implemented but has not yet been completed. This proposal will ensure a safe and convenient road system into a site that is zoned for industry. Any future infrastructure or development will be able to use the new access road and will ensure the convenient use of any industrial development.
