Characteristics of the Site and Area The application site is located in the countryside immediately adjacent to No. 13 Drumard Road. The replacement building is located within a group of existing farm buildings. The proposed replacement pig shed is to replace 2 smaller existing ones. There are a number of domestic properties close to the site towards the west of the site. The proposal is for the erection of 2 pig sheds which have 2 pitched roofs joined with a central corridor to give a combined building size of 3969m2. The buildings have a green cladding to the walls and roof and the ridge height is approx. 2metres. There are 2 feed bins and a slurry store and the proposal will accommodate 8000 weaner pigs (ie up to 30kg weight). Page 4 of 15 Application ID: LA09/2017/0318/F Description of Proposal Full application for - Proposed 1No. replacement pig shed with 2No. feed bins and an above ground covered slurry store (pig shed to contain 8000 weaner pigs) Planning Assessment of Policy and Other Material Considerations I have assessed this proposal under the following: SPSS Magherafelt Area Plan 2015 PPS21, PPS3, PPS3 Neighbours:Owners/Objectors of No 13 Drumard Road, Draperstown were notified of the proposal on 24.08.2017. Objectors: - 7 objections have been received as follows. Gwyneth McQuisten received on 09.11.2018 Joanne Lusby received on 08.11.2018 Harriett Moore-Boyd received on 09.11.2018 Olga Harper received on 09.11.2018 Diane Greer received on 13.11.2018 Cormac McAleer received on 10.11.2018 Ciaran McClean received on 23.11.2018 Given no addresses are provided with any of these objections it is unclear if these originate from any nearby residents. The objections received highlight the same concerns with the proposal, these are: - Failure to provide full information details - further information was submitted following the receipt of the objections and no further objections were received. - environmental information being significantly flawed and incomplete - further information was sought by the appropriate authoritive bodies once this was received they were reconsulted and issued final positive responses. No further objections were received. - Proposal contravenes Planning Policy Statement 21 _ Planning Policy Statement 2 - it has been demonstrated further below in this report how this proposal adheres to the criteria within relevant planning policy statements. - Assessed against inappropriate screening policies - MUDC consults with appropriate organisations (NIEA, SES, Env. Health etc) for their qualified guidance. There has been no indication from these bodies that the screening used is inappropriate. - DAERA's operational protocol is significantly flawed - all statutory consultees have had access to all objections submitted and in their final responses none have raised the validity of any screening, assessments or plans submitted or used to reach their final conclusions. - Queried cumulative impact and should include trans-boundary sites - Transboundary consideration Impacts on the environment will be experienced where the slurry is spread. The applicant/agent has provided a Nutrient Management Plan that indicates the slurry from the proposed development will be spread over fields located within the vicinity of the pig shed, and there are no additional designated sites located within 7.5km of the land spreading area thats not included in the original assessment. Page 5 of 15 Application ID: LA09/2017/0318/F In guidance for assessment of ammonia emitting projects for the purposes of Habitat Regulations Assessment issued by Shared Environmental Services (last updated 30/07/2019) point 14 states; ‘SES assumes that all licences and permits issued by DAERA for utilization of manure/slurry/litter arising from livestock are compliant with the requirements of the Habitats Regulations and related Directives. SES assumes that the relevant authority in other jurisdictions will ensure compliance with the Habitats and Birds Directives.’ In light of this, consultation on transboundary impacts are not required in this case as, it is assumed that the Agriculture and Food Development Authority in the Republic of Ireland has ensured compliance with the Habitats and Birds Directives. - Questioned legality of planning approvals in NI for poultry houses, anaerobic digesters and anaerobic digester waste treatment plants - There are no directly related historic planning approvals to the proposal site. In addition if historic applications have not been challenged and the assessments within them challenged they still stand. - no evidence of bioaerosol risk assessment or consultation with public health agency - The proposal includes a mechanically ventilated shed with the provision for 8000 weaner pigs, a circular slurry store and land spreading. It has been demonstrated by submitted information that emissions will be significantly reduced from the existing levels should the proposal be granted approval. - nutrient management plan submitted - questioned its validity MUDC acknowledge that utilisation of pig slurry is a critical environmental aspect of the farm, particularly since the cumulative impact of pig slurry generated by this and other proposals may be significant. Through the submitted nutrient management plan the applicant/agent has been able to demonstrate that the pig slurry produced will be applied in accordance with crop needs for phosphorus as well as nitrogen and they have demonstrated the land that will be used. A condition has also been included by NIEA which reads 'All contaminated run-off (from the facility and concrete apron) must be directed to an appropriate collection tank, with no overflow or outlet to any waterway or soakaway. The applicant should also be reminded of their responsibilities under the Control of Pollution (Silage, Slurry and Agricultural Fuel Oil) Regulations (SSAFO) (Northern Ireland) 2003 and The Nitrates Action Programme (NAP) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2014 as detailed in Standing Advice Note 12 for agricultural developments. Reason: In order to reduce the potential for negative impacts on neighbouring land uses.' - questioned how NMP'S are even considered whether lawful - all statutory consultees have had access to all objections submitted and in their final responses none have raised the validity of any screening, assessments or plans submitted or used to reach their final conclusions. - queried the loading capacity and how this proposal would impact this - the proposal will result in a 40% ammonia reduction in region compared to that of existing situation. This proposal is for 8000 weaner

  • Smythe-Wood Series A
    Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index – “A” series – mainly Co Tyrone Irish Genealogical Research Society Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Selected families, mainly from Co Tyrone ‘Series A’ The late Dr Patrick Smythe-Wood presented a large collection of card indexes to the IGRS Library, reflecting his various interests, - the Irish in Canada, Ulster families, various professions etc. These include abstracts from various Irish Newspapers, including the Belfast Newsletter, which are printed below. Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files, although a small cache of Canadian entries is included here, being families closely associated with Co Tyrone. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution. There are further large card indexes of Miscellaneous notes on families which are not at present being digitised, but which often deal with the same families treated below.

  • Community Relations Funding Through Local Councils in Northern Ireland
    Research and Information Service Briefing Paper Paper 130/14 28 November 2014 NIAR 716-14 Michael Potter and Anne Campbell Community Relations Funding through Local Councils in Northern Ireland 1 Introduction This paper briefly outlines community relations1 funding for groups through local councils in Northern Ireland in the context of the inquiry by the Committee for the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister into the Together: Building a United Community strategy2. The paper is a supplement to a previous paper, Community Relations Funding in Northern Ireland3. It is not intended to detail all community relations activities of local councils, but a summary is given of how funding originating in the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minster (OFMdFM) is used for grants to local organisations. 1 It is not within the scope of this paper to discuss terminology in relation to this area. The term ‘community relations’ has tended to be replaced by ‘good relations’ in many areas, although both terms are still in use in various contexts. ‘Community relations’ is used here for simplicity and does not infer preference. 2 ‘Inquiry into Building a United Community’, Committee for OFMdFM web pages, accessed 2 October 2014: http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/Assembly-Business/Committees/Office-of-the-First-Minister-and-deputy-First- Minister/Inquiries/Building-a-United-Community/. 3 Research and Information Service Briefing Paper 99/14 Community Relations Funding in Northern Ireland, 9 October 2014: http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/Documents/RaISe/Publications/2014/ofmdfm/9914.pdf. Providing research and information services to the Northern Ireland Assembly 1 NIAR 716-014 Briefing Paper 2 Community Relations Funding in Local Councils Funding from OFMdFM is distributed to each of the councils at a rate of 75%, with the remaining 25% matched by the council itself.

  • Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper the Plantation
    Co. Londonderry – Historical Background Paper The Plantation of Ulster and the creation of the county of Londonderry On the 28th January 1610 articles of agreement were signed between the City of London and James I, king of England and Scotland, for the colonisation of an area in the province of Ulster which was to become the county of Londonderry. This agreement modified the original plan for the Plantation of Ulster which had been drawn up in 1609. The area now to be allocated to the City of London included the then county of Coleraine,1 the barony of Loughinsholin in the then county of Tyrone, the existing town at Derry2 with adjacent land in county Donegal, and a portion of land on the county Antrim side of the Bann surrounding the existing town at Coleraine. The Londoners did not receive their formal grant from the Crown until 1613 when the new county was given the name Londonderry and the historic site at Derry was also renamed Londonderry – a name that is still causing controversy today.3 The baronies within the new county were: 1. Tirkeeran, an area to the east of the Foyle river which included the Faughan valley. 2. Keenaght, an area which included the valley of the river Roe and the lowlands at its mouth along Lough Foyle, including Magilligan. 3. Coleraine, an area which included the western side of the lower Bann valley as far west as Dunboe and Ringsend and stretching southwards from the north coast through Macosquin, Aghadowey, and Garvagh to near Kilrea. 4. Loughinsholin, formerly an area in county Tyrone, situated between the Sperrin mountains in the west and the river Bann and Lough Neagh on the east, and stretching southwards from around Kilrea through Maghera, Magherafelt and Moneymore to the river Ballinderry.
