Applications on Scheme of Delegation Eligible for Call In

Pursuant to the Council’s published Scheme of Delegation, the applications set out in the Delegated List below are now the subject of a recommendation by a Planning Officer. Applicants and agents who have any queries regarding a recommendation contained on this list should contact the planning officer dealing with the application. Please note that a Councillor can request that an application is removed from the Delegated List and referred to the Planning and Regulatory Services Committee at any stage prior to 5pm on the date noted in the table below provided a sound planning reason is given.

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 Strategic Planning Policy Statement 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, Policy CTY1 and Policy CTY3 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside in that it has not been demonstrated that the non-listed vernacular dwelling to be replaced is not reasonably capable of being made structurally sound or otherwise improved.
3. The proposal is contrary to the Strategic Planning Policy Statement, Policy CTY1 and Policy CTY3 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside in that the overall size of the new dwelling would not allow it to integrate into the surrounding landscape and it would have a visual impact significantly greater than the existing building. In addition the design of the replacement is not appropriate to its rural setting due to its scale, massing and design.
4. The proposal is contrary to Policy CTY13 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside, in that: the site is unable to provide a suitable degree of enclosure and the proposal would rely on the use of new landscaping for the buildings to integrate into the landscape.
5. The proposal is contrary to the Strategic Planning Policy Statement and Policy CTY 14 of PPS 21 in that the proposed development would be unduly prominent in the landscape which would result in a detrimental change to the rural character of the area.

Refusal1. The proposal is contrary to the SPPS and Planning Policy Statement 8 Open Space, Sport and Outdoor Recreation (PPS 8) Policy OS 1, on the grounds that the proposed development would result in the loss of an area of existing open space and it has not been clearly shown that its redevelopment will bring substantial community benefits which decisively outweigh the loss of the open space. 2. The proposal is contrary to the SPPS and Policy QD 1 (criteria a, b, c and i) of Planning Policy Statement 7 (PPS 7): Quality Residential Environments and Criterion (b) of Policy LC 1 of the Addendum to PPS 7 Safeguarding the Character of Established Residential Areas, on the grounds that the proposed development fails to respect the surrounding context and the established pattern of development displayed in the surrounding area and would therefore be visually intrusive and detrimental to the character and appearance of the general development. Adequate provision has not been provided for private open space as an integral part of the development and the proposal conflicts with the only tree existing on the site. The 1.8 m high walls/fence and 2m high block wall do not allow softening of the visual impact of the development to assist in its integration with the surrounding area and the proposed 2m high block wall will create an inhospitable environment and fail to deter crime and promote personal safety for the adjacent public walkway.02/05/202410/05/2024
