Planning committee

Decided by Newry Mourne Down Planning Committee on 1 Jul 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Approved

Against officer advice: officers had recommended refusal.

  • Officers advised refusal because the dwelling’s layout, scale and position would harm neighbouring amenity and conflict with the area’s character.
  • The supporter said the site was suitable for infill development, with no consultee or neighbour objections and screening from existing vegetation.
  • Members voted unanimously to approve the application, considering its design and scale appropriate and screening sufficient to limit overlooking.
