Minutes: The Chair, Councillor Green, welcomed everyone to the meeting. He explained that no person present would be entitled to speak other than the Members of the Local Review Body (LRB) and Mr Jackson, who would provide procedural advice if required. He advised that his first task would be to establish if the Members of the LRB felt that they had sufficient information before them to come to a decision on the Review. Councillor Hardie advised that he felt he had sufficient information to come to a decision. Councillor McCabe advised that she too felt she had sufficient information to come to a decision.

He advised that in his opinion the Planning authority’s reasons for refusal, as outlined on page 46 of the agenda pack, were robust and concrete and he could see no obvious avenue for challenging their decision. Councillor McCabe advised that she had read over the information provided a number of times, and she too agreed with the decision of the Planning authority to refuse the application. She advised that in her opinion the proposed development was contrary to NPF4 Policy 9.

He advised that he might not have gone as far as to say that there could be no development on this site, however he advised that he was content in agreeing with his fellow Councillors on this occasion. Decision The Argyll and Bute Local Review Body, having considered the merits of the case de novo, unanimously agreed to refuse the application and uphold the decision of the Planning authority to refuse planning permission for the following reason(s):-
