I DECLARATION OF INTEREST
There were no declarations of interest.
II PLANNING APPLICATIONS
(a) 26-00159-FULL - ALTERATIONS TO OUTBUILDING (RETROSPECTIVE) - 458 PERTH ROAD, DUNDEE - FOR MRS LUCY-ROSE WALKER
The Committee acceded to requests for a deputation to address the Committee relative to objections to the application by Fiona Galt and Alison Mackay. After the deputations had stated their cases and answered questions from members of the Committee, they were thanked for their attendance and withdrew.
The Committee then acceded to a request for a deputation to address the Committee in support of the application by Lucy-Rose Walker and Roger Brunton, Brunton Design. After the deputation had stated their case and answered questions from members of the Committee, they were thanked for their attendance and withdrew.
Thereafter, having considered objections received, Committee approved the application, subject to the conditions recommended by the Head of Planning and Economic Development.
(b) 26-00194-S42 - SECTION 42 APPLICATION TO EXTEND THE TIME PERIOD FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF PLANNING PERMISSION 24/00415/FULM FOR THE ERECTION OF PURPOSE-BUILT STUDENT ACCOMMODATION BY 18 MONTHS - LAND AT 56 BARRACK STREET, DUNDEE - FOR PROSPECT CAPITAL LTD AND ORCHID STUDENT HOLDINGS LTD
The Convener, seconded by Councillor Lynn, moved that the application be refused on the grounds that the proposed development of student accommodation would not address any identifiable gap in provision and could result in an oversupply of the type of accommodation proposed. The proposal fails to accord with NPF4 Policy 16c and LDP Policy 15. There are no material considerations of sufficient weight which justify the approval of planning permission, contrary to the requirements of the Development Plan.
As an amendment, Councillor Flynn, seconded by Depute Lord Provost El-Nakla, moved that the application be approved, subject to the same conditions as the previous planning permission for purpose-built student accommodation on the site (reference 24/00415/FULM), to provide a further 18 month period to commence development.
On a division, there voted for the motion - the Convener, Bailies Sawers, Keenan, Wright and Macpherson and Councillors Black, Hunter, Lynn, Rome, Finnegan, McHugh, McIrvine, Scullin, Shears, Crichton and Duncan (16); and for the amendment - Lord Provost Campbell, Depute Lord Provost El-Nakla, and Councillors Cordell and Flynn (4) - Councillors Tolland and Coleman having lost connection during consideration of this item - whereupon the motion was carried and the application was refused.
Will DAWSON, Convener.
