DEVELOPMENT SERVICES Local Member - Councillor T.B DEVELOPMENT SERVICES Local Member - Councillor T.B. Marshall PLANNING APPLICATION REPORT Date of Validity – 15th September 2005 BUTE AND COWAL AREA COMMITTEE Committee Date – 6th December 2005 9th November 2005 Reference Number: 05/01919/COU Applicants Name: Scottish Water Solutions Application Type: Detailed Application Application Description: Use of car park as temporary construction compound incorporating the siting of 5 portacabins, storage of materials and parking of construction vehicles, and erection of 2.4 metre high timber fence with floodlights, in connection with Dunoon Wastewater Treatment Works. Location: Ardnadam Car Park, Sandbank (A ) THE APPLICATION Development requiring express planning permission • Use of car park as temporary construction compound, siting of 5 portacabins, storage of materials and parking of construction vehicles, • Erection of 2.4 metre high timber fence and external floodlighting Other operations not requiring planning permission Removal of nine trees on site to the west to achieve sightlines (B) RECOMMENDATION Given the level of representation, it is recommended that subject to a discretionary hearing planning permission be Granted subject to the conditions and reasons, together with a ‘note to the applicant’ as set out overleaf. (C ) DETERMINING ISSUES AND MATERIAL CONSIDERATIONS Twenty two letters of objection have been received in respect of this application. These refer to the necessity to use this particular site, noise, disturbance, road and pedestrian safety, loss of outlook, pollution, effect on an adjacent children’s play park, effect on property prices, alternative sites and reinstatement works. Scottish Water has an obligation to provide new sewage treatment facilities for the area. In order to facilitate these works, it is necessary for a site compound to be established during the construction phase for the works in the Sandbank area. Planning permission has already been granted for the temporary use of the West Bay Car Park in Dunoon as part of that section of the works. Scottish Water confirm that the site will only be in use as a site compound for a period of 2 years whereupon the site will be reinstated to its current use as an informal car park. Sandbank Community Development Trust who own the site propose to landscape the site in the future. Whilst it is inevitable that the site will create temporary problems of noise and disturbance during the construction phase, this is already happening in other locations as part of the greater scheme. Scottish Water has investigated alternative sites for a compound, all of which have been disregarded as being too close to residential properties( Cromlech Rd and Pilot St). Regrettably Scottish Water advise that this is the only suitable site with no alternative being available The Department is sympathetic to many of the issues raised, but can reassure the objectors that the contentious issues can be alleviated and controlled by the imposition of planning conditions and other legislation. Head of Planning Services Case Officer B Close 01369-70-8604 Area Team Leader S. Campbell 01369-70-8608 "In reaching my assessment on this application, I have had regard to the documents identified in brackets above which are available for public inspection in terms of the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985".

  • Loch ‘N’ Glen News
    Loch ‘n’ Glen News Ardnadam Chapel, on the Faith in Cowal Trail Spring/Summer 2021 Spring/Summer 2021 Welcome to the Spring/Summer Loch ‘n’ Glen News Issue 35 Dear Readers, This edition starts and ends with a vote of thanks. I want to thank all the local businesses and tradesfolk who continue to support Loch’n’Glen by advertising with us – this covers the cost of printing the News in an age where those who don’t “do the internet” are increasingly excluded. When I started thinking about this issue, I was worried that with everything on hold because of COVID, I wouldn’t have enough content. As it turned out, it was a struggle to fit everything in! So a huge thanks to all those who have contributed to this edition – keep it coming! I suspect – indeed, I sincerely hope – that in future years we will look back on 2020 as the year when nothing happened, and the year when everything changed. If there’s one thing to learn from the pandemic, it is that we need to get the priorities straight, at all levels of decision-making. We have lived for too long with a skewed value system that pushes to the margins the very people who are at the heart of our civilisation – those who care for people, educate people, grow or supply food, work to conserve and nurture our natural environment, bring people together and build communities. Enough of the political point-scoring, back- stabbing, bickering and propaganda. It’s long since time truth, compassion and humanity stood up to be counted in political circles.
