III PLANNING APPEAL DECISIONS

There was submitted Agenda Note AN72-2013 detailing the undernoted planning appeal decisions:-

(a) 6 BATH STREET, BROUGHTY FERRY, DUNDEE

RETROSPECTIVE EXTENSION OF CELLAR

Reference was made to Article II(a) of the minute of meeting of this Committee of 17th December, 2012, wherein the above proposal was refused planning permission contrary to the Director's recommendation because the Council considered that:-

"By virtue of design and finish, the extension adversely impacts on the setting of the C Listed Building and the character of the surrounding Broughty Ferry Conservation Area. The proposals are therefore contrary to the requirements of Policies 60 (Alterations to Listed Buildings) and 61 (Development in Conservation Areas) of the Dundee Local Plan Review 2005. There are no material considerations that would justify approval of planning permission in this instance."

It was reported that the decision was subsequently appealed by the applicant, and that the Reporter had allowed the appeal and granted planning permission.

(b) 6 BATH STREET, BROUGHTY FERRY, DUNDEE

RETROSPECTIVE EXTENSION OF CELLAR (LISTED BUILDING CONSENT)

Reference was made to Article II(b) of the minute of meeting of this Committee of 17th December, 2012, wherein the above proposal was refused Listed Building Consent contrary to the Director's recommendation because the Council considered that:-

"By virtue of design and finish, the extension adversely impacts on the setting of the C Listed Building. The proposals are therefore contrary to the requirements of Policy 60 (Alterations to Listed Buildings) of the Dundee Local Plan Review 2005. There are no material considerations that would justify approval of Listed Building Consent in this instance."

It was reported that the decision was subsequently appealed by the applicant and that the Reporter had allowed the appeal and granted Listed Building Consent.
