Copies of the following papers attached:-

Minutes:

There had been circulated copies of the request from Mr R Martin, per MKT Design, Beechwood, Pyatshaw, Lauder, to review refusal of the planning application for erection of a dwellinghouse in garden ground of Beechwood, Pyatshaw, Lauder.  Included in the supporting papers were the Notice of Review; Decision Notice; Officer’s Report; papers referred to in Officer’s Report; Consultation; and a list of policies. Members noted the planning history to the site and that, unless an exception was made, there was no capacity within Policy HD2 to further expand the number of dwellinghouses in the building group at Pyatshaw within the Local Development Plan period. Members also discussed the size of the proposed plot in relation to the size and spacing of other plots within the group.  After consideration of these issues Members concluded that there were no justifiable reasons to grant an exception to the policy in this case.

 

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 be refused, for the reasons detailed in Appendix II to this Minute.
