The minute of meeting of this Committee of 27th April, 2026 was held as read.
Unless marked thus * all items stand delegated.
I DECLARATION OF INTEREST
Depute Lord Provost El-Nakla declared an interest in the item of business at Article III(a) by virtue of family members being resident in close proximity to the development site.
II PLANNING APPLICATIONS
(a) 26-00098-FUL - ERECTION OF TEMPORARY MARKETING SUITE, ASSOCIATED ACCESS AND PARKING (RETROSPECTIVE) - MARKETING SUITE FOR KIRKWOOD HOMES (MONA CRESCENT), BROUGHTY FERRY, DUNDEE - FOR MR JON MORRISON, KIRKWOOD HOMES LTD
The Committee noted that the deputation request relative to objections to the application had been withdrawn. It was further noted that the deputation request in support of the application had been included on the agenda in error.
Thereafter, having considered objections received, the Convener, seconded by Councillor Rome, moved that the application be approved, subject to the conditions recommended by the Head of Planning and Economic Development.
As an amendment, Councillor Duncan, seconded by Councillor Shears, moved that the application be refused on the grounds that the proposal fails to comply with NPF4 Policy 13 (Sustainable transport) and LDP Policy 54 (Safe and Sustainable Transport). No EV Charging points or cycle parking facilities are proposed; the proposal would not minimise the need to travel by private car and is in excess of 400 metres from access to the nearest public transport network. There are no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval of the application contrary to the Development Plan, the proposal fails to comply with NPF4 Policy 14 (Design, quality and place) and LDP Policy 1 (High Quality Design and Placemaking). The building is of a temporary nature and does not improve the quality of the area, the sales office is no longer appropriate within the established residential area and the street scene. There are no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval of the application contrary to the Development Plan, and the proposal fails to comply with NPF4 Policy 1 (Tackling the Climate and Nature Crisis) and NPF4 Policy 2 (Climate Mitigation and Adaption). The proposal would not promote a zero-carbon impact and would not minimise emissions as a development which is remote from the housing site it would be attributed to.
There are no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval of the application contrary to the Development Plan.
On a division, there voted for the motion - the Convener, and Councillors Flynn, Mills, Rome, Smith and Tolland (6); and for the amendment - Depute Lord Provost El-Nakla, Bailies Wright, Macpherson and Scott, and Councillors Black, Hunter, Lynn, Cruickshank, McIrvine, Scullin, Shears, Coleman, Crichton and Duncan (14) - whereupon the amendment was carried and the application was refused.
Will DAWSON, Convener.
