Refusal Reasons for LA06/2019/0583/O
1. The proposal is contrary to The Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland and Policy CTY1 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside in that there are no overriding reasons why this development is essential in this rural location and could not be located within a settlement.
2. The proposal is contrary to The Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland and Policy CTY3 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside in that the proposed development would have a visual impact significantly greater than the existing building.
3. The proposal is contrary to The Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland and Policy AMP 2 of Planning Policy Statement 3, Access, Movement and Parking in that insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that adequate visibility splays can be provided where the access joins the Ballywalter Road.
4. The proposal is contrary to The Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland and Planning Policy Statement 2: Natural Heritage in that it has not been demonstrated that the development would not be likely to harm species protected by law.
Refusal Reasons for LA06/2020/0060/O & LA06/2020/0061/O 1. The proposal is contrary to The Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland and Policy CTY1 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside in that there are no overriding reasons why the development is essential in this rural location and could not be located within a settlement.
2. The proposal is contrary to The Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland and Policy CTY8 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside in that the proposal does not constitute a small gap sufficient only to accommodate up to a maximum of two houses within an otherwise substantial and continuously built-up frontage, and would, if permitted, result in the creation of ribbon development along the Tullymally Road.
3. The proposal is contrary to The Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland and Policy CTY14 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside in that the dwellings would, if permitted result in a suburban style build-up of development when viewed with existing and approved buildings and create a ribbon of development which would therefore result in a detrimental change to further erode the rural character of the countryside.
4. The proposal is contrary to The Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland and Policy CTY15 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside in that the development would if permitted mar the distinction between the defined settlement limit of Ballygalget and the surrounding countryside.
5. The proposal is contrary to the Strategic Planning Policy Statement for Northern Ireland and Planning Policy Statement 2 – Natural Heritage in that it has not been demonstrated the development would not adversely affect the integrity of protected and priority species.
