Conditions 2 and 3 are time conditions relative to the submission of the AMSC application while condition 4 relates to the approved drawings on the previous permission. These have been satisfied by the submission of this AMSC application and are not directly relevant to the assessment of this application.

Report by Head of Development and Economic Growth Additional documents:
Minutes: The Planning Officer spoke to the terms of the report and to supplementary report number 1. This application site is located adjacent to the junction of Barone Road and Meadows Road in the south-western part of Rothesay. It extends to approximately 1.17 hectares and was formerly used for the storage of Liquefied Natural Gas although it has been vacant for a number of years. The proposal involves the erection of a food production facility by Bute Foods who, with its produce Sheese, has established itself as a market leader of manufacturing vegan and dairy free cheese. The proposal has attracted 74 objectors, 33 supporters and a petition in support containing a total of 100 signatures. The issues raised are detailed at section P of the report of handling and in supplementary report number 1. As the proposal has generated a significant number of objections, primarily from local residents, and a number of expressions of support it is considered that value would be added to the process by holding a discretionary hearing in advance of determining this application.

Report by Head of Development and Economic Growth Additional documents: Minutes: The Area Team Leader for Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands spoke to the terms of the report. Imeraval lies to the west of Port Ellen and is designated in the current adopted Local Development Plan (LDP) as having the potential for low density housing development with a 25% requirement for affordable housing. Under these designations, a Masterplan is required as part of the determination of any planning application. A Masterplan has previously been approved under reference 15/02954/MPLAN. This proposal represents a significant uplift in the density aspirations of the LDP. Low density is described as 11 units per hectare whilst this Masterplan provides for 17 per ha. Despite this the vast majority of units are affordable which is welcomed by Officers. In this regard the proposal is a departure from the aspirations of the LDP. However there is a greater demand now for affordable housing than initially envisaged on the island at the time of writing the LDP and the delivery of this is best placed on allocations and PDAs given access to transport modes, settlement boundaries etc. A recent Islay Strategic Housing Overview identified a need for housing. The Masterplan, whilst indicative, gives all interested parties and statutory consultees sufficient detail to assess the future development of the site. Assessed against Development Plan policy and other material considerations the components of the phased housing development scheme are considered to be compatible with PDA 10/15 and the potential constraints to development acknowledged within its accompanying schedule. It is recommended that the Masterplan be approved and endorsed as a material consideration in the assessment of any future planning applications on the site. Decision The Committee agreed to approve and endorse the Masterplan as a material consideration in the assessment of any future planning applications on the site.

Report by Head of Development and Economic Growth Additional documents: Minutes: The Area Team Leader for Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands spoke to the terms of the report. A proposal of application notice (PAN) has been submitted for a new quarry at Aros Farm, Campbeltown which lies to the south of Machrihanish airbase.

It is recommended that Members note the content of the report and submissions and provide such feedback as they consider appropriate in respect of this PAN to allow these matters to be considered by the Applicants in finalising any future planning application submission.
