INTRODUCTION

This community information pack follows a Proposal of

Application Notice (PAN) submitted to Mid Ulster

Council on 30 th January 2023 in accordance with the

Planning (General Procedures) Order (Northern

Ireland) 2015.

The PAN notifies the council that a formal planning

application will be submitted after the required 12

The statutory provisions which set out the

requirements for PACC are found in the 2011 Act, The

Planning (Development Management) Regulations (NI)

and The Planning (General Development Procedure)

Order (NI) 2015.

Engaging communities is an essential part of an

effective and inclusive planning system. Where

applicants engage in meaningful pre-application

consultation, local communities can be better

informed about development proposals and have an

opportunity to contribute their views before a formal

planning application is submitted.

EXISTING SITE & DEVELOPMENT

Drawings Are Scaled to Fit – Do Not Scale

EXISTING SITE

The site, 1.48 hectares in total including the laneway

and visibility splays, comprises the unauthorized

erection of a shed, farm silage pits, weighbridge, yard,

lane & entrance approx 200m south west of 27

Lurgylea Road, Galbally, Dungannon.

Planning Approval, Ref: LA09/2019/0669/F, had been

previously obtained for a Proposed cattle shed &

retention of uncovered open front silage pits at this

location.

The site is bounded by existing planting along the

south-western and north-western boundaries. The

north-eastern and south-eastern boundaries are

bounded by concrete retaining walls. The topography

of the site falls sharply from the Lurgylea Road down

to the existing site. An access and laneway has been

provided directly onto the Lurgylea Road.

SURROUNDINGS

The immediate surrounding lands are rural land in

agricultural use.

To the north-east of the site are multiple dwellings

which span along the Lurgylea Road eastwards

towards a small built up area including St Josephs

Primary School and a housing development.

The local GAA club (Galbally Pearses) and multiple

housing developments are located approx 0.2 miles

north-west off the site.

DEVELOPMENT

The proposal seeks approval for retrospective mixed

use development to include a shed sub-divided with

approx 2/3 use for farm storage and 1/3 use for

recycling of metal products. Retrospective farm silage

pits, weighbridge, yard, lane & entrance.

The existing planting at the south-west and northwest

boundaries of the site will be retained and

augmented where appropriate.

Proposed native species trees shall be planted along

the north-eastern boundary of the site and native

species hedging shall be planted along the southeastern

boundary to sensitively screen the site from

public view and integrate the development within the

surrounding context.

A Drainage Assessment is currently being prepared for

the site and a detailed report will accompany the

planning application.
