“No: LA01/2022/0927/O Ward: Ballymoney North App Type: Outline Address: Approximately 25m South East of 219 Seacon Road, Ballymoney…”

“Proposal: Proposed dwelling keeping within the neighbouring ridge height.”

“The proposed site is an area of garden to the side of number 219 Seacon Road, Ballymoney. The site itself is a corner site which borders the Seacon Road and the Newbridge Road.”

“The application site is located within the settlement limit of Ballymoney, as defined by the Northern Area Plan 2016, and is not subject to any specific designations. The surrounding area is residential.”

“Application Number: D/2002/0668/F • Decision: Permission Granted Decision Date: August 2003 • Proposal: Change of use from dwelling to daycare facility and alterations / extensions to same.”

“The application site fails to meet with the principle planning policies. The proposal would result in the loss of a number of trees along the Newbridge Rd which contribute to the character of the area and setting of the settlement as they form a strong natural boundary to the settlement limit along this side of the road. The loss of trees, proximity to both road frontages and shoehorned nature of the proposal will result in an adverse visual impact.”

“The proposal is contrary to Planning Policy Statement 7 – Quality Residential Environments; Policy QD 1, criteria ‘a’ and ‘b’, in that the proposed development fails to respect the surrounding character in terms of the proposed siting and layout of the development and fails to protect and integrate existing landscape features which positively contribute to the environmental quality and character of the landscape, resulting in the proposed development appearing incongruous.”

“External Neighbours: Neighbour notifications were sent out and no representations have been received.”

“Internal DFI Roads: No objection CCG Environmental Health: No objection NI Water: No objection…”
