Planning application

Land adj to SW of Ballywillan Cemetery Magheraboy Road Portrush BT56 8NU

Refused Causeway Coast and Glens LA01/2022/1455/NMC Non Material Change

Works: Extension

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

1. Drawing 03 shows retention of the hawthorn hedge. From an aesthetic perspective its removal will enhance the ambience of the cemetery as the previous owner had cut it back to the point where it had become 'woody', lacked leaf and is unattractive. Removal will help integrate the new extension into the existing cemetery providing a more welcoming and attractive vista for visitors. 2. To further enhance the ambience and visual amenity of the cemetery the preferred option is to plant an 'evergreen' hedge (eg. gressilina littoralis or similar) along the new boundary to compensate for the removal of the existing hedge. This will also provide all year round wind protection.

What this refusal means

Causeway Coast and Glens refused this application for the reasons on the decision notice; only the applicant can appeal, and refused schemes often return in revised form. More in our guide to what happens after a planning decision.

About amendment applications

An amendment application makes limited changes to a permission that already exists; anything beyond modest adjustment needs a fresh application. More in our guide to planning application types.
