Official record
Development description
Place topsoil on baran lands:- the area in question rests above the floodplain, and currently is not suitable for agriculture. When the topsoil is in place, the land will be improved and can be highly productive as agricultural land. This proposed planning permission will facilitate an application for an article 27, because it is intended to import the topsoil material from another site. It is proposed to use the existing internal access routes to deposit the topsoil, and to use the existing access entrance at the derryguile road for site access.
