Fermanagh and Omagh District council has voted to oppose extending planning permission for Dalradian Gold’s facility in Co Tyrone.
The Canadian firm first sought permission for temporary buildings, parking, a waste rock storage area, tunnel extension and a waste water treatment system outside Greencastle in 2013.
Outlining why they oppose the extension, a FODC planner told councillors at a Special Council Meeting on July 21: “The planning department’s view really is that the continued retention of any of the development along the Camcosy Road removes any of the natural green space that there was between the existing buildings and that really has a detrimental visual impact along this part of the Camcosy Road.
Speaking after the presentation, Independent Cllr Emmet McAleer raised concerns the “ environmental impact seems to have been completely cast aside”.
