Replacement dwelling at 160M South West of 15 Ballymacombs Road, Portglenone

“…from the Ballymacombs Road. Contained within the site is a red bricked derelict building with the upper proportion of the building displaying cement render, the roof consists of tin with two windows located on the upper gable. There are other openings on the building with some of these boarded up.”

“This current application is brought to the Planning Committee with a recommendation for refusal for the following reason: Planning Policy Statement 15: Planning and Flood Risk, under Policy FLD 1 this proposal meets the exception for development in a floodplain and requires the submission of a Flood Risk Assessment which has not been submitted.”

“This PPS sets out the Departments policies to minimise and manage flood risk to people, property and the environment. The role of the planning system is to prevent future development that may be at risk from flooding or lead to an increase in the risk of flooding elsewhere.”

“Policy FLD 1 states that planning permission will only be granted if the FRA demonstrates that all sources of flood risk to and from the development have been identified and there are adequate measures in place to manage and mitigate any increase in flood risk arising from the development. In the absence of a FRA we are unable to assess the impact of flooding to the proposed development, therefore this application does not comply with FLD 1 of PPS 15.”
