“LA09/2025/1011/O ACKN Development Management Officer Report Committee Application Summary Committee Meeting Date: April 2026 Item Number: Application ID: LA09/2025/1011/O Target Date: January 2026 Proposal: Dwelling Location: Land immediately North East of 18 Loughview Road Coalisland…”
“…character, and the predominant land use is residential with a mix of terraced, detached and semi-detached dwellings.

The dwelling has a hipped roof and external fireplaces.”
Officer report
Planning history
There was no planning history at the application site.
“Figure 1 – Image of the objector’s dwelling in relation to the application site. As shown in figure 1 above the objector's rear garden abuts the rear garden of the application site. The objector has raised the following issues in their objection. Loss of privacy and residential amenity. Environmental Impact. Highway access and safety. Heritage and character considerations.”
Officer report
The officer recommendation
Officers recommended approval because the proposal met the settlement and residential environment policies.
“Dungannon and South Tyrone Area Plan 2010 The site is within the settlement limits of Dungannon as defined in the Dungannon and South Tyrone Area Plan 2010, so SETT 1 is the relevant policy which applies. The site is not within any other zonings or designations within the Plan. I consider if the proposal meets policy QD1 in PPS 7 Quality Residential Environments it will also meets SETT 1 as both policies consider similar criteria.”
“A Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) was conducted to determine any potential impact this proposal may have on Special Protection Areas, Special Areas of Conservation and Ramsar sites. This was assessed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 43 (1) of the Conservation (Natural Habitats, etc) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (as amended).”
Officer report
