Officer’s Report
The site represents part of the Business Park which fronts onto Cooil Road and lies between the Cooil Smithy and Ballacottier Cottage. The site has Securicor and the rear of the MEA buildings behind it. Access into the site is through the Business Park between Securicor and the MEA.
Proposed here is the temporary use of the site as a builder's yard. The applicant has permission for a recycling compound alongside the Energy From Waste Facility and wishes to use this area until this new facility is available for use - in approximately 12 months' time.
Objections have been received from the users and potential users of the land on the opposite side of the road on the basis of the appearance of the site. The objection from Riley's is understandable but their development will not be completed until the period of use has ended. If the site were being developed then it may have a similar appearance for a period of time. Discussions have been held into the development of this site but no firm applications have been submitted. If we were to refuse the application the applicant could request a review and appeal, all of which would take us close to the temporary period requested.

Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 30.07.2004
Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal
C: Conditions for approval N: Notes attached to conditions R: Reasons for refusal O: Notes attached to refusals
C 1. This approval relates to the temporary use of the site as defined in the location plan received on 24th June, 2004 as a builder's compound for the storage and sorting of builders' equipment and materials. The materials may only be stored in the main part of the site and not in the narrow part of the site (field 521888) which extends to Ballacotter Cottage.
C 2. The site may be used as above by Dandara Commercial Ltd and their associated companies only and for a period ending on 31st August, 2005 or on completion of the new compound adjacent to the Energy From Waste Facility, whichever is the sooner.
C 3. There may be no inert material or waste brought to or stored on the site.
Note: this is in order to prevent dust emanating from the site alongside what is a Principal Traffic Route and alongside which developments of quality are being encouraged.
C 4. The applicant must, within 28 days of the date of this notice submit a detailed landscaping scheme which will introduce additional planting to reinforce the existing roadside vegetation using species complementary to the planting which will be introduced at the entrance to The Barley Field industrial development. Such planting once approved must be introduced prior to November, 2004.
C 5. No material or equipment may be stored at a height exceeding 4m as measured from natural ground level.
N 6. It is unlikely, given the visual impact of the material and equipment stored, that permission will be forthcoming for any extension to this temporary use beyond the twelve months hereby approved.
