Minutes:

There had been circulated copies of the request from Mr & Mrs William Rose, per Kanak Bose Ltd, Ogscastle, Roman Road, Carnwarth, to review refusal of the planning application for erection of dwellinghouse and detached garage on land south west of 3 Mill Lade, Blyth Bridge. The supporting papers included the Notice of Review (including the Decision Notice); Officer’s Report; papers referred to in the Officer’s Report; Consultations; and a list of policies. The Planning Advisor drew attention to new evidence, in the form of three Flood Risk Assessment drawings which had been submitted with the Notice of Review documentation and which had not been before the Appointed Planning Officer at the time of determination. The Review Body considered that the new information could be considered, as it met the test set out in Section 43B of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and that this new information was material to the determination of the review.  It was agreed that, as expert opinion on the Flood Risk Assessment drawings was required, there was a need for further procedure in the form of written submissions and that SEPA and the Council’s Flood Risk Officer be given the opportunity to comment on the new information provided.
