Residential Development within Development Area 1
Requires residential development in Area 1 per brief: max 6 single-storey dwellings (no dormers), prior roads/sewers approval, temporary construction access avoiding Balladoyne Estate. Proposal failed height (6.6m ridge, 24 rooflights implying eaves accom), no temp access, no prior roads/sewers.
presumes against any development which would adversely affect the southerly open countryside views from Peel Road
No development adversely affecting southerly open countryside views from Peel Road; adjacent field re-designated open space to preserve views to Slieau Whallian. 6.6m ridge height deemed overly prominent, blocking views despite proposed planting (which would further screen openness).
General Policy 2
Permits zoned development if compliant with Area Plan brief, respects scale/form/landscape character, provides access/services, no adverse amenity/traffic. Proposal zoned residential but failed brief on height/access/services; design/materials/amenity otherwise acceptable.
Strategic Policy 3 - To respect the character of our towns and villages
Protect village character via separation, local materials/design. Materials (oak/render/slate/timber) appropriate but height impacted landscape views.
Strategic Policy 4
Protect landscape quality, no pollution/disturbance. Height harmed landscape views; brief requires archaeological check (not addressed).
Environment Policy 42
New development to reflect local character, no inappropriate backland or loss of green spaces contributing to visual amenity. Single-plot on edge site harmed openness/views despite zoning.
Housing Policy 6
Zoned residential per Area Plan brief. Failed brief requirements on height/access/prior approvals.
Transport Policy 4
Highways must accommodate development safely. No access to highway network.
no objection
no objection subject to conditions (later withdrew support post-roads refusal)
