Minutes

The site

The site lies within the settlement limits and officers considered the proposal appropriate to the area’s scale, character, design and materials.

“Figure 2 – Proposed Elevations Cookstown Area Plan 2010 This site is located in the north of the settlement of Cookstown and located within the settlement limits as defined by the Cookstown Area Plan 2010. Area Plan Policy SETT 1 states that favourable consideration will be given proposal within the settlement limits when there is no conflict with any of the criteria set out in Plan Policy - SETT 1.”

“A Planning Strategy for Rural Northern Ireland Policy DES 2 Townscape requires development proposals in towns and villages to make a positive contribution to townscape and be sensitive to the character of the area surrounding the site in terms of design, scale and use of materials. The proposed development will have little impact on the character of the area due to the existing pattern of development and as such the character shall remain primarily unaffected.”
