Four self-contained apartments at Upper Storeys of 12 Church Street, Dungannon

“LA09/2022/1684/F ACKN Development Management Officer Report Committee Application Summary Committee Meeting Date: March 2026 Item Number: Application ID: LA09/2022/1684/F Target Date: March 2023 Proposal: Refurbishment  conversion of upper floors to provide 4No. modest sized self- contained apartments with access taken from existing adjacent alley.”

“This is a full application for the refurbishment & conversion of upper floors at 12 Church Street Dungannon, to provide 4No. modest sized self-contained apartments with access taken from existing adjacent alley. The proposed development will regenerate the derelict first and second floors above an existing retail unit.”

“The building is approximately 50m along Church Street from Market Square in Dungannon town centre. It is within the Dungannon Settlement Limit and Northland Conservation Area as defined in the Dungannon & South Tyrone Area Plan 2010. The surrounding area is predominately retail with shop units along the northern side of Church Street. To the rear of the building is an access yard/alleyway beyond which is the rear/side of a large commercial building.”

“However, the adjacent land uses may have a negative impact on the occupiers of the proposed apartments. There is the possibility of the fast-food takeaway operating from the adjacent property creating nuisance in terms of noise and odour for occupiers of the proposed apartments. MUDC Environmental Health were consulted, and with recommendations for appropriate mitigation incorporated into the design, potential nuisance should be minimised.”

“The tall (4 storey) property is a further ~5m from this, resulting in the main direct outlook from the proposed apartments to the rear of the application site having a ~12m outlook to a substantial wall. This would not provide a pleasant outlook or quality environment for the occupiers of the proposed apartments to the rear of the building.”

“NI Water were consulted as the proposal is within an area where there are known issues relating to wastewater. NI Water have recommended Refusal as there is no available capacity in the downstream Wastewater infrastructure, and no viable developer led solution available to achieve a foul connection. Mid Ulster council Environment and Conservation were consulted as the proposed development is within the Northland Conservation Area.”
