Minutes:
The Principal Planning Officer spoke to the application, explaining that the site encompassed a small area of countryside around settlement and as such would require to be approved on the basis of a minor departure from the Local Plan. He considered that approval on this basis was justifiable given that flats did not have the same permitted development rights as dwelling houses, as the area affected would be garden ground and not built upon.
He discussed the design and layout of the proposed flats and the concerns of the Community Council, Elected Members and local residents that this would result in overdevelopment. On the basis that there had been a significant level of representation, while his recommendation was for approval, he was suggesting that a discretionary hearing take place prior to the Committee determining the application.
Decision
Agreed to hold a discretionary hearing on Thursday 30 June 2011 at 2.00pm in the North Connel Village Hall.
