There had been circulated copies of the request from Mr S Lamb, 3 Rowan Court, Cavalry Park, Peebles to review the decision to refuse the planning application for the Change of Use of part of the ground floor to Class10 – Non-residential institutions and the conversion of the loft to accommodate additional office space, Class 4 – Business.  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 Planning Advisor drew attention to new evidence on the site, in the form of DDL Care Hub Ltd – Business Plan and 

Cavalry Park – List of Companies.  This information had not been before the Appointed Planning Officer at the time of determination. The Review Body considered that the new evidence 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.
