A representation was received in support of the proposed development reiterating the points detailed within the Head of Planning’s written report and included the following:-

·        The barn was a redundant agricultural building situated within a former farm complex

·        The developer considered the proposal had the potential to improve the visual amenity of the area and enhance the existing complex by renovating this last remaining redundant unit on the site, complimenting the existing 5 residential conversions/ dwellings

·        In addition to the residential element of the proposed development, it was the developer’s intention to  provide quality agricultural products, cheeses, honey and lamb, within the agricultural diversification element promoting the principles of the Health and Well Being Act and the use of alternative medicines,

·        As the Head of Planning had not objected to the principle of the proposed agricultural diversification element of the development, it was requested that if the Committee was minded to endorse the  refusal recommendation it, in lieu, consider deferment to afford the applicant the opportunity of further discussing the proposals with the Head of Planning.

The Senior Development Management Officer (East) responded to the issues raised
