ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note: A pre-application consultation did not take place. You and/or your agent may wish to liaise with
Planning Section prior to the preparation and submission of this Further Information.
The submission should take a coherent account of any issues that overlap/interlink.
No inference is given in requesting this Further Information that planning permission will ultimately be
forthcoming.
1. Section 15.9.2 (Site Selection and Design Guidelines) and Section 15.22.4 (Landscaping and
Boundary Treatment) of the County Development Plan 2025-2031 highlight the importance of
ensuring that new rural dwellings integrate successfully into the landscape through appropriate
siting, design and landscaping measures.
Accordingly, and notwithstanding the submitted details, please submit the following:
a) A revised site layout plan showing the existing roadside hedgerow retained save for the c.8m
portion required to form the site entrance. This hedgerow shall be retained and maintained to
approximately 1.05m in height within the required visibility splays.
b) A comprehensive, itemised and costed landscaping scheme for the site, which pays specific
attention to the southern boundary. Same shall be prepared by a suitably qualified landscaper.
Predominant hedgerow species shall be whitethorn, with blackthorn, hazel and holly also
included. Hedging shall be detailed in double staggered rows with eight 2-3 year old plants per
metre; 250mm apart, with 300mm between rows.
Hedgerows shall be supplemented with semi-mature trees at irregular intervals in singles and
clusters.
c) Revised house and garage plans, sections and elevations demonstrating measures to reduce
the visual prominence of the proposed dwelling, including:
(i) Reduction of the proposed roof pitch of both the dwelling and garage from 40 degrees to
35 degrees; and
(ii) Replacement of the proposed apex/picture window with a conventional squared-off
window.
d) Revised site layout plans, cross-sections and levels demonstrating a reduction in the proposed
finished floor level from 117.90 to 117, or as otherwise agreed, in order to improve the
integration of the dwelling within the rural landscape and reduce the extent of site creation
works.
