“Policy CTY 1- Development in the Countryside Policy CTY 1 provides clarification on which types of development are acceptable in the countryside. In addition, other types of development will only be permitted where overriding reasons are submitted why the development is essential and could not be located within a settlement.”

“Furthermore, it is recognised that the approval of a dwelling on this site would effectively extend an existing ribbon of development, resulting in a row of four dwellings along this particular section of Moss Road, given the adjacent approval. As referenced earlier, Moss Road is a rural road that has experienced significant development over recent years. Consequently, it has lost its original rural character.”

“Resolved That planning application LA09/2025/1023/O be approved subject to conditions as per the officer’s report.”

“Condition 2 Approval of the details of the siting, design and external appearance of the buildings, the means of access thereto and the landscaping of the site (hereinafter called ""the Reserved Matters""), shall be obtained from the Council, in writing, before any development is commenced. Reason: To enable the Council to consider in detail the proposed development of the site.”

“…requirements in accordance with the RS1 form uploaded to the Mid Ulster Council Planning Portal on the 30/10/2025. Reason: To ensure there is a satisfactory means of access in the interests of road safety and the convenience of road users. Condition 5 The dwellings hereby permitted shall have a ridge height not exceeding 5.5 metres above finished floor level.”
