ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note: A pre-application consultation did not take place. You and/or your assigned agent may wish to
liaise with Planning Section prior to the preparation and submission of this Further Information.
1. Whilst the remodelling of the existing house is acceptable in principle under Section
15.10.1 (Alterations and Extensions to Dwellings) of the County Development Plan
2025-2031, the Planning Authority considers that the proposed hollowed gable
incorporating apex glazing presents as a strong outward‑facing architectural feature.
Given the open, elevated and prominently visible context, this element is considered
overly assertive and risks undue prominence in the rural landscape.
You are therefore requested to:
(a) Reassess and revise the design treatment of this gable to appear more visually
recessive; and
(b) Submit revised plans, sections and elevations clearly demonstrating how the
amended design reduces visual prominence and improves integration with the
rural setting, together with a brief design response addressing the above
concerns.
2. In the interest of clarity, please submit a sample and/or manufacturer’s details of the
proposed external cladding and metal finishes, including colour and profile.
The planner dealing with this application is Ben Clerkin
