Anthony Clarke, Martin McWilliams, William Shields, Peter Sullivan Recommendation: Approve Subject to Conditions Reasoned Justification: Whilst contrary to the Monklands District Local Plan 1991, by virtue of Green Belt and Open Space Policy, the proposed development can be justified as having a specific locational need and having substantial social benefits. The proposed School campus can also be accommodated with an acceptable level of impact in the local environment, without undue impact on the Green Belt function of the Country Park and without any unreasonable impact on residential amenity. In this instance, there are material considerations that carry sufficient weight to support the application.
