Ardrossan/Saltcoats/Stevenston Local Plan Area N/01/00140/PP: Stevenston: 14 High Road The Sub-Committee resumed consideration of an application by Mr G McMahon, 14 High Road, Stevenston, for retrospective planning permission in respect of the erection of wooden decking to the rear of the dwelling house at that address. The application was continued from the meeting held 30th April 2001 to allow Members to inspect the site. An objection had been received from S Moore, 12 High Road, Stevenston. A representation in support of the application was received from Glasgow City Council Social Work Services. The Sub-Committee, having considered the terms of the representations, and having heard the Assistant Chief Executive (Legal and Regulatory) in respect of further information from the applicant, agreed to (a) refuse the application on the following ground:- 1. That the proposed development would be detrimental to the amenity of adjoining residential properties by reason of loss of privacy; and (b) proceed with Enforcement Action in order to secure the removal of the decking from the site. 2. Arran Local Plan Area N/01/00138/PP: Kildonan: Former Kildonan School Egmond Estates, Upper Torwoodhill Road, Rhu, have applied for retrospective planning permission for the siting of a permanent caravan and erection of timber enclosure at the former Kildonan School, Kildonan, Isle of Arran. Objections have been received from Mamie Stewart, Craigend and David and Elizabeth Macpherson, Lloyds Cottage, both Kildonan, Isle of Arran. The Sub-Committee, having noted the terms of the objections, agreed to (a) refuse the application on the following ground:- 1. That the proposed development would be contrary to policy TOU6 in the adopted Isle of Arran Local Plan in that it would comprise the siting of a single static caravan in a prominent location which Page 1 would have an adverse visual effect on the area; and (b) proceed with Enforcement Action to have the unauthorised use discontinued and the unauthorised caravan removed from the site, with the latter being restored to its original condition. 3. Garnock Valley Local Plan Area N/01/00035/PP: Dalry: 12 North Street In terms of Standing Orders, Councillor Reid declared an interest in this item and took no part in the determination thereof. Joseph Pollacchi, 12 North Street, Dalry, has applied for the deletion of an occupancy condition which applies to the dwellinghouse constructed to the rear of the fish and chip shop and cafe at that address. The Sub-Committee agreed to the removal of the restriction under Condition 1 of planning approval 01/91/0278. 4. Irvine/Kilwinning Local Plan Area 4.1 N/00/00833/PP: Irvine: Heatherhouse Road: McConechy's Ltd McConechy's Ltd, Heatherhouse Road, Irvine, have applied for planning permission in respect of alterations and a change of use from a Tyre and Exhaust Centre to a Tyre and Exhaust Centre and Car and Van Rental Office at that address. A representation has been received from E McArdle, 10 Heatherhouse Road, Irvine. The Sub-Committee, having noted the terms of the representation, agreed to grant the application subject to the undernoted conditions:- 1. That the number of hire vehicles to be stored within the yard shall not exceed 10 in number and shall be restricted to cars and vans up to 30 cwt. 2. That vehicles awaiting hire shall only be stored in the nine spaces on the west side of the parking area and one in space 10 on the east side. 3. That no vehicles shall be repaired or valeted within the yard. 4. That the car hire business shall operate only between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on any day. 5.

That within one month of the completion of the alterations to the building, a sign shall be erected on the Heatherhouse Avenue elevation indicating the availability of parking on the south side. 7. That within two months of the date of this permission details of proposals for the landscaping and seeding of the areas fronting Heatherhouse Road and adjoining No 10 Heatherhouse Road shall be submitted for the approval in writing of North Ayrshire Council as Planning Authority. 8. That all planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping shall be carried out in the first planting season and seeding seasons following the occupation of the buildings or the completion of the development, whichever is the sooner; and any trees or plants which, within a period of five years from the completion of the development die, are removed or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species, unless North Ayrshire Council as Planning Authority gives written consent to any variation. 9. That the 1.2m high screen timber fence to be erected along the boundary of the parking area with Third Avenue and the landscaped area, shall be erected prior to the commencement of the use of a yard to store hire vehicles. Page 2 4.2 N/01/00029/ADC: Irvine: 31 Townhead Mr Kaur, 31 Townhead, Irvine, has applied for retrospective planning permission to erect an internally illuminated fascia sign and an externally illuminated wall sign at that address. The Sub-Committee agreed to (a) refuse the application on the following grounds:- 1. That the proposed fascia and gable signs by virtue of their size, location and type of illumination would be detrimental to the visual appearance and character of the listed building and its setting in the Irvine Town Centre Conservation Area; and 2. That the signs would be contrary to the guidelines set down n the adopted Advertisement Policy of the Council; and (b) serve an Enforcement Notice under Section 24 of the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984 and Section 34 of the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 to remove the illuminated fascia sign, the gable sign and the window transfers. 4.3 N/01/00203/PP: Kilwinning: 27 Corsehill Mr Donaldson, 27 Corsehill, Kilwinning, has applied for an amendment to planning permission 01/00019/PP to increase the height of a garage at that address. An objection has been received from J H Bingham, 4 Montgreenan View, Kilwinning. The Sub-Committee, having noted the terms of the objection, agreed to grant the application subject to the undernoted condition:- 1. That the garage hereby approved shall be used only in connection with the dwellinghouse with which it is associated and not for any trade or business use. 5. North Coast and Cumbraes Local Plan Area 5.1 N/00/00383/PP: West Kilbride: Former Slaughterhouse Site Francis McLaughlin, Lawhill Farm, West Kilbride, has applied for planning permission for the erection of a dwellinghouse on the site of the former slaughterhouse at Chapelton Road (B7047), West Kilbride. The Sub-Committee agreed to refuse the application on the following ground:- 1. That the proposed development would be contrary to Policy ENV5 of the adopted North Coast and Cumbraes Local Plan in that it would result in the substantial rebuilding of the existing structure which would not be in character with the original building style or scale and would result in the creation of a prominent building in an area of relatively open countryside which would be detrimental to the amenity of the area and establish an undesirable precedent for other similar developments in areas of open countryside. 5.2 N/00734/PP: West Kilbride: 76 Main Street Donald Ribbeck, 13 Fullerton Drive, Seamill, West Kilbride, has applied for retrospective planning permission to erect a lean-to structure for the storage of shop goods at 76 Main Street, West Kilbride. Objections have been received from Mrs M K Robinson, 3A Manse Road and Mrs E McAskill, 3 Manse Road, both West Kilbride. The Sub-Committee, having noted the terms of the objections, agreed to grant the application subject to the undernoted condition:- 1. That the lane providing access to the store shall not be used by customers of the applicant's shop for the purpose of uplifting goods or for any other purpose. Page 3 5.3 N/00/00889/PP: West Kilbride: Seamill: Ardrossan Road: Ardenlee Nursing Home and Associated Car Park In terms of Standing Orders, Councillor McLardy declared an interest in this item and took no part in the determination thereof. Ossian Construction Ltd, 1 Glasgow Road, Paisley, have applied for planning permission for the change of use and conversion of the former Ardenlee Nursing Home, Ardrossan Road, Seamill, West Kilbride, to form 5 flats, and for the development of the associated car park to form 9 new build flats. Forty-three objections have been received and these were detailed in the report. After a full discussion, Councillor Carson, seconded by Councillor Rae moved that the application be refused on the ground that the former car park site was not suitable for the proposed development.

  • Birdwatching in Ayrshire and Arran
    Birdwatching in Ayrshire and Arran Note on the on-line edition: The original leaflet (shown on the right) was published in 2003 by the Ayrshire Branch of the SOC and was so popular that the 20,000 print run is now gone. We have therefore published this updated edition on-line to ensure people interested in Ayrshire’s birds (locals and visitors) can find out the best locations to watch our birds. To keep the size of the document to a minimum we have removed the numerous photographs that were in the original. The on- line edition was first published in November 2005. Introduction This booklet is a guide to the best birding locations in Ayrshire and Arran. It has been produced by the Ayrshire branch of the SOC with help from individuals, local organisations and authorities. It should be used in conjunction with our website (www.ayrshire-birding.org.uk) which gives extra details. Additions and corrections can be reported via the website. The defining influences on Ayrshire as an environment for birds and other wildlife are its very long coast-line (135km not counting islands), and the fact that it lies almost entirely in the rift valley between the Highland Boundary Fault and the Southern Upland Fault. Exceptions to this generally lowland character are the mountains of north Arran, our own little bit of the Highlands, and the moorlands and hills of the south and south-east fringes of the county. The mild climate has resulted in a mainly pastoral agriculture and plenty of rivers and lochs, making it good for farmland and water birds.

  • The Ancient Sundials of Scotland Andrew R Somerville*
    Proc SocAntiq Scot, 117 (1987), 233-264, fiche 3: A2-G14 The ancient sundials of Scotland Andrew R Somerville* SUMMARY Scotland has a rich heritage of Renaissance' sundials which are more numerous than in any other country. These are free-standing stone sculptures dating from the 17th and early 18th centuries, with many dials inscribed on them, often in shapes which may have symbolic significance. A catalogue has been prepared including those which have been recorded in the past and have now disappeared, as well as those which still survive. The various types are described and comparisons made with those in other countries, showing the unique character of the Scottish style. The reasons for their appearance in Scotland at this time are first of all material: more stable government and increased prosperity led to the building of mansion houses with pleasure gardens. Secondly, the Calvinist philosophy of the time frowned on decoration for its own sake and required function as well. Thirdly, interest in science was increasing, along with the Renaissance interest in re-discovering the esoteric knowledge of the ancients. In addition, freemasonry may have had its beginnings in Scotland in the late 16th century and certainly assumed considerable importance in the 17th; this is unlikely to be mere coincidence and the dials probably had a significance which went well beyond simple time-keeping. The main listing of the catalogue is given in microfiche form, but summaries are printed. CONTENTS PRINTED SECTION Introduction ............... 234 Description of the dials ............. 235 History and continental influences ........... 246 Symbolism ............... 251 Conclusions ............... 254 The Catalogue .............
