The site visit was undertaken on 9th November 2011. SITE DESCRIPTION The site, within the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park, is a hillside at Murdieston Farm, approximately 450m to the south east of the Greenock Cut and 100m to the west of Old Largs Road. Old Largs Road and the Greenock Cut are each identified as Core Footpath Routes. The Greenock Cut is also a scheduled ancient monument. Whinhill Golf Course lies to the east of Old Largs Road. PROPOSAL It is proposed to construct two 15.6m high wind turbines. The total height to blade tip of the three bladed propellers is 22m. Three photo montages and wire diagrams have been submitted, indicating views from Old Largs Road, Greenock Town Centre and the Lyle Hill. The applicant has also submitted a statement in support of his proposal. LOCAL PLAN POLICIES Local Plan Policy UT6 - Renewable Energy Infrastructure In assessing proposals for renewable energy infrastructure, Inverclyde Council, as Planning Authority, will have regard to the impact on: (a) the natural environment and built heritage of the locality; (b) the landscape, particularly when viewed from major transport corridors; (c) residential amenity; (d) tourism and leisure resources, particularly if within the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park; and (e) the operation of aircraft and telecommunications equipment.

The framework has evolved since then, to now capture key elements of what the Scottish Government considers to be a high-performing planning service. These include: • speed of decision-making • certainty of timescales, process and advice • delivery of good quality development • project management • clear communications and open engagement • an overall ‘open for business’ attitude This Framework gives a balanced measurement of the overall quality of the planning service in Inverclyde, identifying what happened in 2016-17 as well as what is planned for 2017-18. It will form the basis on which the Scottish Government will assess planning performance against the backdrop of Inverclyde Council determining planning applications considerably faster than the Scottish average and benefitting from an up-to–date Local Development Plan and on-track replacement. Dutch Gable House, William Street, Greenock 4 PLANNING PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK 2017 PART 1: DEFINING AND MEASURING A HIGH QUALITY PLANNING SERVICE 5 PLANNING PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK 2017 QUALITY OF OUTCOMES HILL FARM Hill Farm was initially identified as an expansion to Inverkip in the 1946 Clyde Valley Regional Plan, with planning permissions first being granted by Renfrew County Council for a “new community” in 1974.

  • Headington, Bridge of Weir
    M209 Headington, Bridge of Weir Introduction This large, L-shaped, roughcast detached house with curved gabled dormers derived from 17th-century Scottish vernacular architecture, is located in the affluent Renfrewshire commuter village of Bridge of Weir. It was built for Alfred Allison Todd, partner in Dunn & Todd, a Glasgow firm of chartered accountants. Authorship: Drawings showing a slightly different treatment of the house were in Mackintosh's possession at the time of his death, and suggest that he contributed to an early stage of the design process. The plan, materials and historical references have parallels with Windyhill and The Hill House, but the house was built according to drawings signed by John Keppie, and it seems likely that Keppie had overall control of the design. Alternative names: Easter Hill; Easterhill.
