Dwelling and garage at Lands to The rear of 39A Mullaghmoyle Road, Dungannon
Summary of planning committee decision
Deferred by Mid Ulster Planning on 4 Nov 2025.
Earlier planning history
Earlier applications included a refused dwelling site, approved replacement dwelling and withdrawn dwelling-and-garage application.
“There is little recent development pressure in the area, with existing development taking the form of mostly single dwellings with associated outhouses. Description of Proposal Proposed Dwelling And Garage Planning Assessment of Policy and Other Material Considerations Policy Consideration Section 45(1) of the Planning Act (NI) 2011 requires the Council, in dealing with an application, to have regard to the local development plan (LDP), so far as material to the application,…”

Officer report
Why officers recommended refusal
Officers considered the proposal failed countryside policies because it would not cluster with farm buildings, integrate visually or protect rural character.
“The proposed dwelling is not visually linked or sited to cluster with an established group of buildings on the farm, rather it will read with third party properties to the west. The proposal therefore fails to meet criterion (g) of CTY 13. CTY 14 of PPS21 states that planning permission will be granted for a building in the countryside where it does not cause a detrimental change to, or further erode the rural character of an area.”
“Summary of Recommendation: Refuse is recommended Refusal Reasons Reason 1 The proposal is contrary to Policy CTY1 of Planning Policy Statement 21, Sustainable Development in the Countryside in that there are no overriding reasons why this development is essential in this rural location and could not be located within a settlement.”
Officer report
Neighbour notification
Four neighbouring properties were identified and the officer was satisfied that the correct notifications had been carried out.
“I am satisfied that all correct neighbour notifications have been carried out. Press advertisement has also been carried out in line with the Council's statutory duty. Dungannon and South Tyrone Area Plan 2010 The site lies outside any settlement limit defined in the Dungannon and South Tyrone Area Plan 2010.”
