Minutes:

The Chair welcomed everyone to the meeting and explained that only the panel and the advisor, Mr Reppke, could speak at the meeting. 

 

The Chair explained that the previous meeting had been adjourned to allow for time to seek advice on whether a competent motion, taking cognisance of policy context within the location could be found. 

 

Councillor Kinniburgh advised that he was minded to agree with the original decision of the Planning Officers based on the information provided. 

 

Both Councillor’s Currie and MacMillan agreed that with the mixture of finish shown in the information provided, they felt that the white rendered walls fit better than the natural slate walls. 

 

Councillor Currie moved the following motion:-

 

I move that the condition number 4 be altered to provide that

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 1 and the drawings submitted, no development shall commence on site, or is hereby authorised, until full details of the proposed white render finish to be applied to the face of the boundary walls has been submitted to the Planning Authority for approval.  Thereafter the development shall be undertaken in accordance with the approved details. 

 

Reason:  In the interests of visual amenity in order to integrate the development into the wider site and wider Conservation Area.

 

The justification for this alteration is that there is a mixture of white rendered walls and natural slate walls within close proximity of the proposed development and therefore in my opinion white rendered walls would not look out of place at this location which is on the boundary between such mixed finishes and an area towards the car park and seashore which is predominantly characterised by natural slate walls. 

 

In my opinion the slate finish is not a key design component of the development and the rendered finish should be compatible with and complement the finish of the building. 

 

 

Decision

 

The Motion was agreed by a majority of the Argyll and Bute Local Review Body.
