The site is a 0.92-hectare part of an agricultural field beside a dwelling, with an existing shed, hedges and mature trees.
“Summary of Consultee Responses: No new or additional consultations were carried out to inform this deferred consideration. Characteristics of the Site and Area The site of the proposed development is located on the northern outside edge of the Pomeroy settlement limit as defined in the Cookstown Area Plan 2010. The site is therefore located in the rural countryside. The site is a 0.92 ha portion of a larger agricultural field.”
“Access to this neighbouring dwelling is via a laneway which runs adjacent to the site's southern boundary. Also south of the site is an approved development scheme for 57 dwelling units, which at the time of the site visit, only the southern portion of the site is complete with built dwellings.”

The result is now that the proposed dwelling would now be sited to link visually / cluster with the original building on the site as well as the building approved and erected under LA09/2024/1524/F.”
