Report by Head of Development and Economic Growth

The Senior Planning Officer spoke to the terms of the report.  This is a Section 42 application which is an application for a new planning permission for a development but with different conditions from those attached to a previous permission for that development.  In determining such an application, the planning authority can only consider the changes to the conditions on the previous permission.  The principle of development is not under consideration and the original permission remains live.

 

Planning permission in principle was approved for this development following a hearing on 26 January 2017.  The site is located to the north of the settlement of Cardross and is bounded by Darleith Road to the west and a private access to the east.  This private access is a continuation of Barrs Road.   The applicant has applied to vary Condition 2 to alter the finished floor levels of the dwellings.

 

It is considered that the proposal accords with the principles and policies contained within the Local Development Plan and it was recommended that planning permission be granted subject to the conditions and reasons detailed in the report of handling.
