ALL CALL IN REQUESTS TO PLANNING COMMITTEE SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO EMAIL ADDRESS .   ALL REQUESTS SHOULD BE TITLED ‘CALL IN REQUEST’

The new IT System for Planning went live on 5th December 2022. Applicants, agents – and any third parties who may have an interest in a particular application –  are asked to note that under the new IT System the functionality of the system has changed and language/terminology used on the system is different to that used under the old system.  In particular, it should be noted that unlike the old IT system, the status of an application on the new IT system will no longer change when the application has been placed on a delegated list.  Therefore, the onus is on applicants, agents and any third parties who may have an interest in a particular application to check the weekly delegated lists which appear on the Council’s website every Thursday evening to determine if an application has been placed on the delegated list at www.armaghbanbridgecraigavon.gov.uk/resident/planning-applications-residents/

Members of the public should also note there are a number of identified technical issues with the new system.  The performance of the system will continue  to be monitored as part of the normal service management arrangements and the Council is working closely with the stakeholders including the suppliers to resolve the outstanding issues.  Any issues of concern regarding the new planning IT system should be forwarded to

Refusal1. The proposal is contrary to the SPPS and Policy CTY 1 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 SPPS and Policy CTY 8 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside in that the proposal does not constitute a small gap capable of accommodating no more than two dwellings within an otherwise substantial and continuously built up frontage. The application site, if developed for two dwellings, would not respect the existing development pattern along the road frontage in terms of plot size and width and if permitted, would create a ribbon of development along Mossview Road.

3. The proposal is contrary to the SPPS and Policy CTY 13 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside in that the dwellings would, if permitted result in the dwellings being a prominent feature in the landscape and the lack of established boundaries on the application site would result in the dwellings relying primarily on the use of new landscaping for integration.

4. The proposal is contrary to the SPPS and Policy CTY 14 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside in that the dwellings would, if permitted result in the creation of a ribbon of development and would therefore result in a detrimental change to the rural character of the countryside.

5. The proposal is contrary to the SPPS and policy NH5 of PPS2 as it has not been demonstrated that the proposal will not result in the unacceptable impact on, or damage, to known priority habitat - hedgerow.
