Minutes: The Chair, Councillor Green, welcomed everyone to the meeting. He explained that no person present would be
entitled to speak other than the Members of the Local Review Body (LRB) and Mr
Jackson, who would provide procedural advice if required. He advised that his first task would be to establish if the Members of
the LRB felt that they had sufficient information before them to come to a
decision on the Review. Councillor
Hardie advised that he felt he had sufficient information to come to a
decision. Councillor
Irvine advised that he too felt he had sufficient information to come to a
decision. Councillor
Hardie advised that having considered the information before him, he agreed
with the decision of the Planning authority to refuse the application. Councillor
Irvine advised that he was in agreement with Councillor Hardie, particularly in
relation to the design principles. He
advised that he felt the size, scale and massing of the proposal was wholly
inappropriate for the area and as such he too agreed with the decision of the
Planning authority to refuse the application.
The
Chair advised that there were a number of issues which concerned him in
relation to this application, particularly the design and layout and the
contaminated land. He advised that he
didn’t believe that there was any leeway within the Local Development Plan or
any of the relevant Policies to approve this.
He further advised that while he was not opposed to a dwelling house in
this location, he felt that what was being proposed was inappropriate in terms
of the immediate and wider surroundings and as such he was minded to support
the officer report and refuse the application. Decision The Argyll and Bute Local Review Body, having considered the merits of
the case de novo, unanimously agreed to refuse the
application and uphold the decision of the Planning authority to refuse
planning permission for the following reason(s):-
