review of 21/00017/RREF

There had been circulated copies of the request from Aver Chartered Accountants, c/o Bidwells LLP, Broxden House, Lamberkine Drive, Perth PH1 to review the decision to refuse the planning application for the development of a single dwellinghouse and parking on Land East of Renton Bush, Reston.  The supporting papers included the Notice of Review; Decision Notice; Officer’s Report; papers referred to in the Officer’s Report; Consultation Replies, Objection comments and a list of policies.  The Review Body noted that the proposal was for planning permission in principle to erect a dwellinghouse and parking and the site contained an unauthorised building and groundworks which, together with an adjoining building and works, did not have the benefit of planning permission and was subject to enforcement action.  They went on to give consideration to whether there was a building group at the location and after considering all relevant information and agreed that the site was outwith any building groups and was not an appropriate addition to them. The Review Body considered that reinstatement of the ground and replanting of woodland were the appropriate remedial actions, secured through action from the Council and Scottish Forestry.  The Review Body concluded that the development was contrary to the Development Plan and that there were no other material considerations that would justify departure from the Development Plan.
