Agenda item

Copies of the following papers attached:-

There had been circulated copies of the request from Mrs Laura Paterson, 41 North Hermitage Street, Newcastleton for review of refusal of the planning application in respect of replacement windows (revision to planning permission 18/00211/FUL). The supporting papers included the Notice of Review; Decision Notice; Officer’s Report; papers referred to in the officer’s report; and a list of relevant policies.  Members noted that the application for uPVC top-hung replacement windows was a revision to previous planning consent for uPVC sash and case replacements.  Whilst accepting that the property was outwith the Core Frontage part of the Newcastleton Conservation Area and that there were a mixture of window styles and materials in neighbouring properties, Members were keen to maintain the traditional profile of the windows on this frontage.

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 and the        application refused for the reasons detailed in Appendix III to this     Minute.
