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