review of 22/00296/FUL

There had been circulated copies of a request from Mr Robin Purdie c/o Aitken Turnbull Architects, 9 Bridge Place, Galashiels to review the decision to refuse the planning application for the erection of a dwellinghouse on Land North and East of Tweed Lodge, Hoebridge East Road, Gattonside.  The supporting papers included the Notice of Review (including the Decision Notice and Officer’s Report); Papers referred to in the Officer’s report; additional information; consultation replies; objection comments and list of policies.  The Planning Advisor drew attention to information, in the form of a Daylight Analysis Diagram and information contained in the Review Supporting Statement, which had been submitted with the Notice of Review documentation but which had not been before the Appointed Planning Officer at the time of determination.  Members agreed that the information was new but considered that it met Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 Section 43B test in that the new information contained material considerations that it was required to take into account and that the new information was deemed to be material to the determination of the Review and could therefore be considered.  Although, Members also agreed that the new information could not be considered without first affording the Planning Officer, the opportunity of commenting on the new information and agreed that the application be continued for further procedure and an unaccompanied site visit.
