CONSIDER NOTICE OF REVIEW REQUEST: SITE SOUTH OF DARLA, GLENCRUITTEN, OBAN Additional documents:
Minutes: The Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting and advised that parties to the Review were not permitted to address the Local Review Body. He advised that the only participants entitled to speak would be the Members of the LRB panel and Mr Reppke who would provide procedural advice if required. The Chairman advised that his first task would be to establish whether or not the LRB felt they had sufficient information before them to reach a decision on the review. Councillor Marshall felt that there was a lot of information contained within the agenda pack but that he didn’t feel able to reach a decision without having seen the site. He wanted information on how the development would affect the master plan and the quality of the land on which the development would be sited. Councillor MacMillan agreed that a site inspection would be essential to establish where the development road would be in relation to the development. The Chairman advised that he agreed with his colleagues that there was sufficient information but that a site inspection would be necessary. Decision 1. Agreed to hold an accompanied site inspection to establish the configuration of the proposed development road, the condition and nature of the site and to receive additional information on the Master Plan. 2.
Agreed that this information be sought from the
Planning Authority. 3.
Agreed that interested parties be invited to the
accompanied site inspection. 4.
Agreed to re-convene this meeting at the
conclusion of the site inspection.

Decision 1. Agreed to request (from the Planning Authority) written submissions regarding details of possible conditions and reasons should the ABLRB be minded to grant the application. 2. Agreed that the ABLRB would reconvene to consider the application on a date and time to be set by the Head of Democratic Services and Governance in consultation with appointed Members for this case and that appropriate notification of the reconvened meeting would be intimated to all interested parties. The Argyll and Bute Local Review Body re-convened on Wednesday 31 March 2010 at 10.30am within the Members’ Room, Kilmory, Lochgilphead Present: Councillor Daniel Kelly (Chair) Councillor Bruce Marshall Councillor Donald MacMillan Charles Reppke, Head of Democratic Services and Governance (Advisor) Melissa Stewart, Committee Services Officer (Minute Taker) The chairman convened the meeting advising that Members had before them the suggested conditions and reasons from the Planning Authority. He also advised that there was a letter from Glencruitten Golf Club in which it was requested that a condition be attached to any consent to ensure that the developers fulfil their promise in relation to the financial assistance they had offered. Mr Reppke advised that this letter had not been circulated in accordance with the Regulations and commented that in accepting this there was a danger that it would disadvantage the applicant given they had no opportunity to respond. Councillor Marshall felt that the terms of the letter should be accepted as he had wanted to address this matter at the meeting. Councillors Kelly and MacMillan agreed with this view. Mr Reppke advised that if the LRB were minded to approve the application then a Section 75 Agreement would be required. A discussion followed regarding the merits of the case, in particular the fact that they LRB felt the application site would not impinge on any potential bypass road as the indicative proposals were well away from the application site. The LRB also discussed the poor condition of the application site suggesting that the development would provide significant environmental improvements. Decision Agreed to uphold the Review Request subject to a Section 75 consent to ensure the applicant’s fulfil their offer of financial assistance and subject to the undernoted conditions:-
