Agenda item

Prior to consideration of the application, the applicant addressed the committee and stated that the development was not located in the open countryside and it was in keeping with neighbouring properties.  He referred to a recent application that had been approved for 27 dwellings nearby in open countryside.  He felt it would be an improvement to the street scene.

 

Councillor R Hannigan, following the site visit, felt that the proposal would be of no detriment to the area, and it was only slightly out of the development boundary.  He stated that the impact on the area would be zero, and it was a sustainable development.

 

It was moved by Councillor R Hannigan and seconded by Councillor D Wells –
