ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note: You and/or your assigned agent shall liaise with Planning Section prior to the preparation and
submission of this Further Information.
The submission should take a coherent account of issues that overlap/interlink.
Having regard to the provisions of Section 15.22.2 of the County Development Plan 2025-2031 and
Policy RAP 1, the Planning Authority has concerns that the proposed dwelling on the eastern site, by
reason of its siting to the rear and in close proximity to the existing adjacent dwelling, may give rise to
an unacceptable impact on the residential amenity of same.
In particular, the proposed development has the potential to result in overlooking, overbearing impact
and visual dominance, together with a general reduction in the level of residential amenity currently
enjoyed by the existing dwelling, which is contrary to the proper planning and sustainable
development of the area.
Accordingly, please submit revised proposals that clearly demonstrate how an appropriate level of
residential amenity for the existing dwelling can be achieved. Such revisions should include:
i. reconsideration of the siting and layout of the proposed dwelling to provide an improved
spatial relationship and increased separation distance;
ii. measures to mitigate overlooking;
iii. consideration of reduced scale and/or massing to lessen overbearing impact; and/or
iv. details of boundary treatment and landscaping proposals to (ultimately) provide effective
screening and visual separation.
You shall clearly demonstrate, through revised drawings and/or a supporting statement, that the
proposed development will not have a detrimental impact on the residential amenity of adjoining
property, in accordance with Section 15.22.2 of the Development Plan.
2.
Concerning the eastern house, it is considered, having regard to Section 15.9.2 and Table 15.3 of the
County Development Plan 2025-2031, that the large central first -floor window results in an
unbalanced front elevation and reads oversized and out of proportion with the other openings.
Accordingly, please submit revised drawings omitting/reducing this opening and providing a more
balanced fenestration, in accordance with the Development Plan.
3.
Concerning the western house, it is considered, having regard to Section 15.9.2 and Table 15.3 of the
County Development Plan 2025-2031, that the design is overly complex and lacks clarity, with multiple
competing elements, projections and treatments resulting in a cluttered and incoherent form. The
proposed dwelling lacks the simple form and balanced composition typical of rural vernacular design.
Accordingly, please submit revised proposals that simplify the overall design, providing a clear primary
form with limited and subordinate secondary elements, in accordance with the Development Plan.
4.
In the interest of road/traffic safety, the Planning Authority is not satisfied, based on the information
submitted, that the required 50m sight distances can be achieved at the proposed site entrances.
Accordingly, please confirm and clearly demonstrate that the required sightlines can be achieved
beyond the extent of your road frontage to the east and west, without the need for legal agreements
with adjoining landowners. Appropriate revised drawings and supporting details shall be submitted.
