Minutes:

The Development Manager spoke to the terms of the report.  The proposal seeks detailed planning permission for a development comprising three dwellinghouses and two flatted dwellings located within the ‘settlement area’ of Ardminish, Isle of Gigha.  The proposal is considered to be of appropriate location, scale, design finishes, and does not give rise to any concern in relation to infrastructure, services or to its compatibility with surrounding land uses.  The application has been subject to representation from ten individuals who have raised objection to the proposals, and also concern raised by Gigha Community Council about the prospective loss of land for recreational purposes.  However, the site itself is currently in agricultural use and is not identified in the Local Development Plan as either a formal recreational facility or an Open Space Protective Area.  The land use planning related issues are not considered to be unduly complex and, as such, it is considered that a fully informed assessment and determination can be made with reference to this report. 

 

The proposal is considered to be consistent with the relevant provisions of the Local Development Plan and there are no other material considerations of sufficient significance to indicate that it would be appropriate to withhold planning permission having regard to Section 25 of the Act.

 

It was recommended that planning permission be granted subject to the conditions and reasons detailed in the report.

 

Decision

 

The Committee agreed to grant planning permission subject to the following conditions and reasons:

 

1.    The development shall be implemented in accordance with the details specified on the application form dated 25th May 2021 supporting information and, the approved drawings listed in the table below unless the prior written approval of the planning authority is obtained for an amendment to the approved details under Section 64 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997.

The access shall be surfaced with a bound material in accordance with the stated Standard Detail Drawing. Prior to work starting on site the access hereby approved shall be formed to at least base course standard and the visibility splays shall be cleared of all obstructions such that nothing shall disrupt visibility from a point 1.05 metres above the access at point X to a point 0.6 metres above the public road carriageway at point Y. The final wearing surface on the access shall be completed prior to the development first being brought into use and the visibility splays shall be maintained clear of all obstructions thereafter.

 

Reason: In the interests of road safety.

 

3.    The parking and turning area shall be laid out and surfaced in accordance with the details shown on the approved plans prior to the development first being occupied and shall thereafter be maintained clear of obstruction for the parking and manoeuvring of vehicles.

 

Reason: In the interest of road safety.

 

4.    The refuse collection area shall be laid out and surfaced in accordance with the details shown on the approved plans prior to the development first being occupied and shall thereafter be maintained as such.

 

Reason: In the interest of road safety.

 

5.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 1, no development shall commence until details of the intended means of surface water drainage to serve the development have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority.

 

The duly approved scheme shall be implemented in full concurrently with the development that it is intended to serve and shall be operational prior to the occupation of the development and maintained as such thereafter.

 

Reason: To ensure the provision of an adequate surface water drainage system and to prevent flooding.

 

6.    No development shall commence until a scheme of boundary treatment, surface treatment and landscaping has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority. The scheme shall comprise a planting plan and schedule which shall include details of:

 

i)             Existing and proposed ground levels in relation to an identified fixed datum;

ii)            Existing landscaping features and vegetation to be retained;

iii)           Location design and materials of proposed walls, fences and gates;

iv)           Proposed soft and hard landscaping works including the location, species and size of every tree/shrub to be planted;

v)            A programme for the timing, method of implementation, completion and subsequent on-going maintenance.

 

Planting proposals shall include additional hedge planting along the northern boundary of the site in so far as this might practicably be accommodated on the land available.

 

All of the hard and soft landscaping works shall be carried out in accordance with the approved scheme unless otherwise approved in writing by the Planning Authority.

 

Any trees/shrubs which within a period of five years from the completion of the approved landscaping scheme fail to become established, die, become seriously diseased, or are removed or damaged shall be replaced in the following planting season with equivalent numbers, sizes and species as those originally required to be planted unless otherwise approved in writing by the Planning Authority.

 

Reason: To assist with the integration of the proposal with its surroundings in the interest of amenity.
