Report by Head of Development and Economic Growth

The Senior Planning Officer spoke to the terms of the report.  The Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) relates to a future planning application for Planning Permission in Principle (PPP) to construct a 75 bed hotel, restaurant and leisure hub, up to 50 lodges, golf clubhouse, golf pro shop, access arrangements and car parking, hard and soft landscaping and associated uses at land north of Machrihanish Golf Course and north of Clochkeil Cottages, Machrihanish.   The proposals would involve the expansion of existing golf course facilities already established in the locality.

The report sets out the information submission to date as part of the PAN and summarises the policy considerations, against which any future planning application will be considered as well as any material considerations.

It was recommended that Members have regard to the content of the report and submissions and provide such feedback as they consider appropriate in respect of the PAN to allow any matters to be considered by the Applicant in finalising any future planning application submission.

Decision

The Committee noted the content of the report and submissions and provided the following feedback:
