Agenda item

Copies of the following papers attached:-

There had been circulated copies of the request from Mr Paul Lawrie, Linnfall Cottage, Waterheads, Peebles, to review the decision to refuse the planning application in respect of erection of a dog day care building, perimeter fence and associated works (retrospective) on land south west of Milkieston Toll House, Eddleston. Included in the supporting papers were the Decision Notice, Notice of Review; officer’s report; papers referred to in the report; consultations; objections; and a list of relevant policies.  Members noted that the fence surrounding the development was inadequate and commented on the unacceptable visual impact.  Members also expressed concern regarding the access and the implications for road safety.

DECISION

AGREED that:-

(a)        the request for a review had been competently made in terms of Section 43A of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997;

(b)       the review could be considered without the need for any further procedure on the basis of the papers submitted;

(c)        the proposal would be contrary to the Development Plan and that there were no other material considerations that would justify departure from the Development Plan; and

(d)       the officer’s decision to refuse the application be upheld for the reasons detailed in Appendix I to this Minute.
