Infill dwelling and garage at Approx 60M W of No 62 Carrigans Road, Omagh

“Proposal: Outline application for a proposed infill dwelling and garage…”

“This is an outline application for a proposed two storey infill dwelling and garage.”

“However the revisions including the amended siting and access point and change to the description now allow for the retention of some of the road frontage hedge and position the new house closer to the existing building where it will cluster and group.”

“Following the revised siting and description, a storey and half building or bungalow (depending on the applicant’s preference), would still be highly visible but will integrate onto the site in this rural setting, and now meets criterion (c) with an appropriate scale and massing. This will ensure that the new building is also not prominent complying with criterion (d).”

“NI Water has advised that it recommends approval subject to standard planning conditions. (Published on Portal on 09 December 2025). The conditions provided in the response do not meet the tests of planning conditions as they are not necessary. NI Water have been notified in writing of this.”

They advise that “the proposed dwelling is situated in close proximity to existing farm buildings located north and south of the proposal.
