“The red line of the site is a rectangular shape and includes the dwelling at no.10 Coolmaghery Road which a small bungalow and sits in the centre of the site. As well as this the site includes a large industrial shed sitting along the entirety of the rear western boundary, the shed this application seeks retention of sits directly in front of this shed and is much smaller.”

“I consider having taking account of the available historical orthophotography, google street view and site inspection that this proposal is for the expansion of an established economic development use. It is for the expansion of an established quarry recycling solutions workshop to provide a secure research and development workshop, as such the provisions of Policy PED 3 apply.”

“I am also content given the nature and location of the site the vehicular access arrangements provided are suffice. I considered the extension, and ancillary works acceptable for this site and locality. It is typical of a building for this type of use and in keeping with the existing building on site. No additional infrastructure is required, and the proposal will utilise, through alteration, existing access arrangements.”

“Noise pollution Traffic congestion Consideration of objections The first concern was the level of odour emanating from a chimney on the site along with associated smoke. On my site visit there was no smell of anything from the site or indeed the proposed building. EHO were consulted and did not raise any concerns in this regard either. The next concern raised by the objector was regarding the noise levels from the site.”

“Resolved That planning application LA09/2025/1329/F be approved subject to conditions as per the officer’s report.”
