(Reference – Report by Head of Housing Services dated 2 June 2004) 7. PUBLIC QUESTION TIME There were no questions from the public. 8. PLANNING APPLICATIONS The Committee considered and dealt with the application for planning as detailed below. 1. 03/01268/NID Argyll and Bute Council. Notice of intention to Develop. Extension to existing burial ground, Keils Cemetery, Isle of Jura. Decision That planning permission be granted subject to the standard condition and reason, the conditions and reasons contained in the report by Head of Planning dated 18 May 2004, and a note to the applicant advising of the need to take all reasonable steps to minimise the risk of contamination of groundwater and controlled waters to the satisfaction of SEPA. As arising therefrom it was agreed to request that a report and update on the Page 3 timescale of the development of the cemetery extension be provided to the next meeting. 2. 03/02155/DET Fyne Homes Ltd. Detailed. Residential development. Land at Ralston Road, Campbeltown. The minutes of the site visit are attached. Decision Members agreed that planning permission be granted subject to the standard time limit condition and reason and the conditions and reasons contained in the report by Head of Planning dated 20 April 2004. 3. 04/00273/DET D J Campbell and Son. Change of Use. Use of land as training area for junior motorbokes/quadbikes. Land east of the A816 and south of the River Add, Achnashelloch, Kilmichael Glassary. Richard Kerr reported that another objection had been received on behalf of Dr and Mrs Ranger objecting to the proposal. Decision That planning permission be refused for the reason stated in the report by the Head of Planning dated 14 May 2004. 4. 04/00488/DET Woodrow Construction (Islay). Detailed Planning Permission. Erection of two dwelling houses, Plots 4 & 5, Hillside Phase 2, Goltonvogie, Bowmore, Isle of Islay. Decision That planning permission be granted as a ‘minor departure’ to the provisions of the development plan subject to the standard condition and reason and the condition and reason contained in the report by the Head of Planning dated 14 May 2004. 5. 04/00664/LIB Catherine King. Listed Building Consent. Retrospective application for installation of replacement windows, Bruichdhu, Main Street, Port Charlotte, Isle of Islay. Decision To grant planning permission on the following grounds; ‘the integrity of the listed terrace within which this property is situated has been adversely affected by the installation many years ago of UPVC windows in the adjoining property, which are of a less sympathetic design than the windows in question. Planning permission has been refused for an inappropriate design of door, and the owners have indicted their willingness to replace this with a door of traditional design and construction which will Page 4 significantly enhance the appearance of the property, and enforcement action has been authorised to ensure that this will be the case. Notwithstanding their construction in uPVC, the unauthorised windows this application seeks to retain are of an appearance which is appropriate to a terrace which has already been devalued by non-traditional window replacements, and given these particular circumstances an exception to normal policy considerations ought to be made by supporting the application as a ‘minor departure’ to development plan policy, and commending it to Historic Scotland accordingly’. 9. DELEGATED DECISIONS The Committee noted the decisions issued by the Director of Development Services dated 13 May 2004. 10. DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PERFORMANCE MONITORING This paper outlines the Department’s Development Control performance with respect to processing applications as set against the performance targets set by the four Area Committees. In addition to reviewing the Council wide performance from April 2003 to March 2004, this report also identifies the performance and sets targets for each of the four decentralised areas. Unfortunately, the Department failed to reach the target of processing 72% of all applications within two months. Performance was also down on previous years slipping back from last years high of 69% to 64%. Similarly, with respect to householder applications, the department failed to reach the target of processing 90% of householder applications within two months, which had been achieved over the last two years. In this regard the Department processed 88% of householder applications within two months, which represents a 2% drop in performance. Decision The Committee noted and endorsed the report and agreed to 1.

PORTER, 7 PRINCES ST., CAVENDISH SQUARE The Annals of Scottish Natural History No. 21] 1897 [JANUARY THE LATE PROFESSOR THOMAS KING. THOMAS KING was born on the I4th April 1834, at Yardfoot, Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire, a farm which was owned and occupied by his father. He received his early education in a small school in the village of Glenhead. He was destined to be a teacher, and in 1855, after the sale of his birthplace, and the removal of the family to Glasgow, he entered the Normal Training College of the Free Church of Scotland. The early bent of his mind revealed itself in his attendance on the class of Botany in that Institution. In 1862 he was appointed teacher of English in the Garnet Bank Academy, where, in addition to the ordinary subjects, he taught an advanced class of Botany. The work of the session, however, proved too much for his strength, which had never been robust, and he was obliged to relinquish the position.
