Agenda item

There had been circulated copies of the request from Bentley Developments, per Gillespie Macandrew LLP, 163, West George Street, Glasgow, to review refusal of the planning application for variation of Condition 1 of planning permission 13/01081/FUL to allow the lifespan of the application to be extended by a further three years, on Plot 1, land south East of Mounthooly House, Jedburgh. The supporting papers included the Notice of Review; Decision Notice; Officer’s Report; papers referred to in the Officer’s Report; consultations; and a list of policies.  The presentation and advice provided to Members by the Planning Advisor and Chief Legal Officer for the review of 18/00749/FUL (paragraph 4 above) was also applicable to this review. Members considered the two cases together, as outlined in the paragraph above.

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 IV to this Minute.
