Consider request for review of refusal of planning consent in respect of alterations to existing bellmouth and formation of new access on land NW of Kirkburn Parish Church, Cardrona. 17/00384/FUL. 17/00032/RREF.

Copies of the following papers attached:-

Minutes:

There had been circulated copies of the request from Cleek Poultry Ltd, The Tractor Shed, Kirkburn, Cardrona, to review the decision to refuse the planning application in respect of alterations to existing bellmouth and formation of new access on land north west of Kirkburn Parish Church, Cardrona.  The supporting papers included the Notice of Review (including the Decision Notice and Officer’s Report); papers referred to in the report; consultations; objections; additional representations; and a list of relevant policies.  In their discussion Members were particularly concerned about a lack of information in the application and questioned the justification for the new access. They considered that the existing access further to the west was suitable to serve the landholding and consented developments.  Members also considered the scale of the engineering works required to create the new access, the loss of mature trees and potential conflict between the use of the new access and the amenity of residents at the Kirkburn building group.

 

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 II to this Minute.
