  • Introduction Consultation by Strathblane CC
    Mark Laird, Planning Officer Stirling Council 7 August 2017 – via email [email protected] Dear Mr Laird 17/00434/PPP Land 160 Metres South Of Broadgate House, Campsie Road, Strathblane Strathblane Community Council provides its response to Gladman’s application for Planning Permission in Principle for a substantial residential development on Campsie Road, Strathblane, and the moving of the existing green belt boundary and currently designated cemetery to a location further east. Introduction Having consulted widely both in the pre-application stage and now in response to this application, the community council is clear that the overwhelming majority of the community are against Gladman’s proposals, or any housing development on the site. We note that the proposal is contrary to the Local Development Plan (both the current and the “Proposed” version), and we note that it is opposed by several statutory consultees. Of special concern is the applicant’s disregard for the Green Belt designation, which was been examined and confirmed in 2009 and reaffirmed in every iteration of the Local Development Plan process. We have studied the applicant’s submissions and supporting evidence in detail, and find it unconvincing. The evidence provided seems flawed and/or fails to support the conclusions presented in the Design Statement. Some relevant points are selected for discussion below. Consultation by Strathblane CC Extensive publicity and consultation was organised in response to Gladman’s pre-application consultation. Our response to the pre-application consultation is attached as Appendix 1. In response to the planning application 17/00434/PPP, an online and paper survey was organised, in conjunction with two drop-in meetings and a special meeting of the community council.

  • NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017
    NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017 Further progress! The new fibre cabinet at the Killearn exchange is now live, accepting orders, and some residents have already got the service installed and working. Speeds are reported to be as expected at 30Mbps or more. So if you live in “The Trees”, nearby, or in the centre of the village, you should be able to get “super-fast broadband! About 50% of postcodes in the village are now connected to one of the fibre cabinets. Status of your individual connectivity can be checked on either of the WhereandWhen pages of the BT Openreach or Digital Scotland websites or in the tables at the end of this report. This site is also showing a download of the exchange roll-out list, but as this is only at exchange level, it doesn’t help very much. NOTE: Remember the Digital Scotland “Better Broadband Scheme” provides a subsidy to establish a better connection using either satellite or wireless for those currently getting download speeds of less than 2Mbps. See the KCC website for specific links. Balfron has also got more cabinets with 85% of the village now showing as “Accepting Orders”. Strathblane/Blanefield is in a similar position with slightly over 85% of the village covered. Buchlyvie has nearly 90% showing as connected while Croftamie/Drymen is showing nearly 60% Accepting Orders. All this does have to be qualified though as many premises are on long lines, and whilst they will see a significant benefit in speed (double or better), they will not achieve “super-fast” speeds.

Previously the application was recommended for refusal through the Council’s weekly Planning Schedule on 26 March 2014. At this time the agent requested that a decision on the application not be issued and additional time be given to allow a response to the recommendation. This request was accepted. The agent submitted a case in relation to planning policy, the landscape and visual impact and proposals for mitigation to resolve the objection from the National Air Traffic Service which has been taken into account. The previous objection from the National Air Traffic Service has now been withdrawn. 2 OFFICER RECOMMENDATION(S) 2.1 The Panel agrees to Refuse the application for the following Reasons:: 1. The proposal is contrary to the Stirling Local Development Plan Policies – Primary Policy 12 (Renewable Energy), Policy 12.1 Wind Turbines and Policy 9.1 Local landscape Areas in that: (a) The scale of the turbines proposed, particularly turbines 1, 2, 5 and 6 (a height of 125 metres), would be located in close proximity to the hill edges and would therefore have visually dominant impact on the overall scale of the hills.
