the removal of an area of hardstanding which was constructed pursuant to planning permission reg. 99/2617 and which now comprises a defunct road, the provision of additional open space within this part of Balreask Manor, the erection of 6 no. semi-detached dwellings, extension to the existing estate road and footpath, the provision of on-site carparking for each of the proposed houses as well as six communal/visitor bays within the enlarged area of public open space, connections to the public water supply and sewerage systems along with all associated site works

Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The development was refused because it proposed building on land designated as public open space under a parent permission and failed to provide necessary connectivity to adjacent masterplan lands.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposed development is located on land designated as public open space under the parent planning permission (99/2617 and 98/236), and its development would materially contravene the terms of those permissions.
  • The layout fails to provide adequate permeability and connectivity with adjacent lands to the west, which is contrary to the requirements of the Urban Design Manual and the Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets (DMURS).
  • The proposal would prejudice the comprehensive development of and access to the adjacent Masterplan (MP) no. 13 lands, creating an undesirable future precedent for similar developments on public open space.
