Minutes:

4.        review of 21/00014/RREF

            There had been circulated copies of the request from Eyestore Limited, 16 Briery Dene, St Abbs, Eyemouth TD5 7UG to review the decision to refuse the planning application for change of use of site to business and industrial land with associated perimeter security fence at Phase 4 Store and Yard, Acredale Industrial Estate, Eyemouth.  The supporting papers included the Notice of Review; Decision Notice; Officer’s Report; papers referred to in the Officer’s Report; Consultations, general comments, objection comments and a list of policies. The Review Body noted that the applicant had requested further procedure in the form of a hearing, written representations and a site visit but did not consider further procedure necessary in this instance and proceeded to determine the case.  The review Body further noted that the proposal was for a change of use of site to business and industrial land with associated perimeter security fence at Phase 4 Store and Yard, Acredale Industrial Estate, Eyemouth.  After considering all relevant information, the Local Review Body concluded that consent for the development was consistent with Policies PMD2 and ED1 of the Local Development Plan. The change of use represented employment land and local business expansion on an allocated industrial estate. The palisade fencing was considered necessary for security reasons although the line of the fencing required to be set back from The Loaning, by planning condition, in order to reduce the visual impact. Consequently, the application was approved subject to the condition listed in the Appendix.

(a)        the request for review had been competently made in terms of Section 43A of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997;

(c)    the officer’s decision to refuse the application be reversed and planning permission be granted, subject to conditions, for the reasons detailed in Appendix III to this Minute.
