MOTION NO. 98

MOTION: Councillor M. Duff, Councillor P. Kearns, Councillor Alan Edge

NCBH15 Objective 2 - delete the word 'considerably'.

REPORT:

The current objective NCBH15 Objective 2 reads:

‘To require a Landscape/Visual Assessment to accompany all planning applications for significant proposals that are likely to considerably affect views and prospects’.

The motion proposes to amend the wording to the following:

‘To require a Landscape/Visual Assessment to accompany all planning applications for significant proposals that are likely to considerably affect views and prospects’.

All planning applications will affect views and prospects in one way or another due to the introduction of a new structure within the setting/context of an area. However, this objective specifies planning applications of significant proposals. In this context, the change in wording is considered acceptable

Recommendation:  It is recommended that this motion is adopted to amend NCBH 15 Objective 2 to read:

‘To require a Landscape/Visual Assessment to accompany all planning applications for significant proposals that are likely to affect views and prospects’
