Portadown: Orange hall extension approved
Plans that will see facilities improved at Tamnificarbett Orange Hall, Carbet Road, Portadown, have been approved by ABC Planning officers.
The plans will see the erection of an 87m2 rear extension to the Orange Hall, to include a meeting room, disabled toilets, a servery, a reconfigured store and kitchen area, and an external access ramp.
The planning application was lodged by David McMaster Architect Ltd, Portadown, on behalf of the lodge.
ABC Planning officers noted in their report: “Given the established use of the site and the modest scale of the proposed extension, it is considered that there will be no unacceptable impact on the residential amenity of neighbouring properties.
“The elevation facing No. 10 Carbet Road will include a new kitchen window, however, due to the presence of the existing mature tree boundary, there will be no issues of overlooking.
“The proposed development is considered to be in accordance with the appropriate planning policies, and accordingly approval is recommended.”
