Dear Sirs

 

Notice of Review - 11/0004/LRB - Drumfork House, Drumfork Road, Helensburgh (Planning Ref 10/01287PP)

 

Further to your request for further information in respect of the above review I can respond as follows:

 

·         With respect to your request for confirmation on the locations of the gates photographed and submitted I am of the opinion that it is not necessary or appropriate for the Local Review Body to be provided with this information.  Other than the new gates located at 129 Sinclair Street, Helensburgh (Photograph 1), which were the subject of planning approval reference 09/01785/PP, it is possible that the other gates referred to in my statement of case have not been the subject of a planning application, should one have been deemed to have been necessary.  I would not, therefore, wish my disclosure of the requested information to inadvertently result in the taking of enforcement action against an unconnected third party.  The purpose of the photographs was solely to illustrate, in the interests of consistency, the point that there are many other sets of gates within Helensburgh which are sited at the back of a footway, and which have the potential to raise similar issues to those currently under consideration.  I am nevertheless able to confirm that none of the gates photographed are in the immediate vicinity of Drumfork House;

 

·         With respect to the request that the Area Roads Engineer clarify that no objection would be raised to the proposed gates opening into the property, this has always been my client’s intention … this is annotated on drawing no. 2010_0018/01C.

 

Finally, I confirm that a copy of this e-mail has been sent by post to Mrs Strain, 8 Leven Avenue, Helensburgh, G84 7SW.

 

Regards
