LA09/2024/1492/FDeferred

What was proposed

The application sought a two-storey dwelling within the existing curtilage behind 6 Dungannon Road.

“LA09/2024/1492/F ACKN Development Management Officer Report Committee Application Summary Committee Meeting Date: October 2025 Item Number: Application ID: LA09/2024/1492/F Target Date: March 2025 Proposal: Proposed 2 storey dwelling within existing curtilage of 6 Dungannon Road, Aughnacloy Location: Lands Within existing Curtilage to rear of 6 Dungannon Road Aughnacloy…”

“Photograph 1 – View of site from Dungannon Street to the west facing east This application site is located within the development limits of Aughnacloy on a 0.01ha parcel of land, a fully walled area with shed within the existing curtilage and to the rear of No. Dungannon Road. The site is defined on all boundaries by a wall with a gated entrance off Dungannon Street which runs along the northern boundary of the site.”

Officer report

Impact on townscape

Officers considered the dwelling out of proportion with the site and unsympathetic to the historic built form of the townscape character area.

“The key consideration for the Council with regard to ATCs will be to ensure that development proposals respect the appearance and qualities of each townscape area and maintain or enhance their distinctive character.”

“Reason 2 The proposal is contrary to Policy ATC 2 of PPS 6 (Addendum): Areas of Townscape Character - in that the development would, if permitted, be detrimental to the Area of Townscape Character and detract from the character of the surrounding area by reason as it is not sympathetic to the historic built form in terms of scale, form or massing.”

Officer report

Objections received

Four objection letters from one objector raised concerns about privacy, light, noise, drainage, parking, safety, health and character.

“…stability of existing dividing wall, tree stability undermined, loss of light, noise disturbance, overloading of sewerage system and rainwater drainage systems, lack of need for the development, detriment to health and quality of life, detraction from character of the street and finishes will not blend in with the existing properties, detrimental impact on view and natural light and proposed parking causing congestion and safety…”
