Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by Mid Ulster Planning on 3 Mar 2026.
Earlier development nearby
A previous application for 57 homes, a site road and associated works had been granted permission in 2008.
“Relevant Planning History I/2006/1070/F - Lands Immediately South East Of The Boundaries Of 9, 15 & 17 Edendoit Road, Pomeroy - Housing development, site road and associated works (57 Units) – Permission Granted 03.01.2008 Planning Assessment of Policy and Other Material Considerations Cookstown Area Plan 2010 The Strategic Planning Policy Statement Edition 2 l 2025 (SPPS Edition 2) Mid Ulster District Council Local Development Plan 2030 - Draft Plan Strategy A Planning…”
Officer report
Why officers supported it
Officers considered the access protection designation unnecessary because of the established development pattern and nearby housing, and found the proposal acceptable overall.
“Notwithstanding the Access Protection Point designation, the established built form along this section of Edendroit Road, together with the recent housing development to the east accessed from Tanderagee Road, demonstrates that the designation no longer serves a practical planning purpose and is therefore considered unnecessary to protect.”
Officer report
Planning assessment
The proposal was considered acceptable for access, parking, character, residential amenity, natural heritage and biodiversity.
“A Planning Strategy for Rural Northern Ireland Policy DES 2 Townscape requires development proposals in towns and villages to make a positive contribution to townscape and be sensitive to the character of the area surrounding the site in terms of design, scale and use of materials. The proposed development will have little impact on the character of the area due to the existing pattern of development and as such the character shall remain primarily unaffected.”
“Planning Policy Statement 3 – Access, Movement and Parking Dfi Roads were consulted and responded on this application and have confirmed that they have no objection to the proposal put forward subject to conditions. I consider the proposed access arrangements to be acceptable and in accordance with the provisions of PPS3.”
Officer report
Consultation responses
DFI Roads had no objection subject to conditions, and Northern Ireland Water offered no objection.
“Additional Considerations Northern Ireland Water were consulted on the application offering no objection. This site is not located within or adjacent to any protected areas, including SACs, SPAs and Ramsar sites. The site is not located within or adjacent to any listed building / structures. The site is not subject to any issue issues pertaining to flooding.”
Officer report
