Planning Ref : 17/01429/FLL. The above application was refused for a number of different reasons. These were : a. The report agreed that Markethill was considered a grouping of buildings, but disagreed that the proposed site consisted of a definable site, as there were no well established landscape features or topography to provide a suitable setting. It was also considered was ribbon development. We feel that there is an inconsistency of interpretation of planning policy by different Case Officers as there are a number of other applications which we have had approved which we considered similar. Examples of these are attached. As can be seen from these, it is relatively common to use a post and wire fence as a boundary. Conditions have been applied to these approvals, to state that a suitable landscaping framework should be established with hedges and planting, which was suggested in this case. b. It was also considered that this site created a ribbon development. Again, we have shown an example of where a similar site was granted approval for four houses, along the side of an existing road. Again, there was no definable boundary at the edge of this approved site, other than a post and wire fence. c. When the Case Officer prepared his report, he stated that “there was no previous site history”. This is not the case, as an application for two houses, was previously granted (approval attached). 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Ref : 4211 Proposed Housing Site, Markethill, Kettins, Perthshire Supporting Statement Markethill is a small hamlet consisting of a number of old cottages, new dwellings and rural buildings located to the south west side of the main Dundee road, around half a mile south of Coupar Angus. The site itself is currently a small paddock at the southern end of Markethill. We have examined the proposal against the recommendation contained in the Housing in the Countryside Policy and would make the following comments : a. Site Location. The site sits at the end of a group of buildings forming Markethill. It is contained on the eastern side by the main Coupar Angus to Dundee road, on the northern side by a group of existing houses and outhouses and on the west by storage sheds, currently used for storing hay bales. Other sheds to the north in the applicants ownership contain agricultural machinery and on the southern boundary it is separated from an adjacent field by post and wire fence. The site is similar in nature to a recent application approved at Woodside Farm (Ref: 17/00007/FLL). In the pre-application guidance we were given on that occasion, we were advised that additional planting would be required to ensure the site had a proper landscape setting. In this application, we have shown hedging along the southmost boundary, along with additional trees. b. Landscaping. In order to give the site a proper landscape setting, native Scottish species trees have been specified, the existing Rowan retained and beech hedging has been indicated on the drawings. In particular, the trees specified have been with a view to providing feeding for local bird life. c. Access. The access to the two site is taken from the main road with good visibility in both directions. Markethill is located within a 40 mile per hour speed limit. d. Contamination. The applicant has owned this property for a number of years. In that time, he has informed us that the site has only ever been used for grazing. The chance of contamination existing on site is therefore, considered as negligible. e. Adjacent Buildings. As stated, these are used for general farm storage. The applicant leases other ground in the area with particular emphasis on rearing sheep. As can seen from the site layout plan, this is relatively small operation with only 1.6 hectares of ground in his ownership. f. Drainage. It is intended to install a bio-disc treatment plant and take the outfall from this to a closed soakaway within the site. There will therefore, be no discharge to a water course. g. Style of house. As can be seen from the drawings, the houses proposed are rural in appearance. The finishes of a slate roof and roughcast, is intended to enable these to blend with the adjacent properties. Planning Policy: 1. Building groups - The existing building group is in excess of the three or more buildings of a size at least equivalent to a traditional cottage. The proposal does not detract from the residential and visual amenity of the group and in fact, would screen the remaining buildings from the road. The site is not considered as ribbon development, as the field pattern forms a logical “stop end” to the existing hamlet. 2. The Plots proposed are comparable in size to the neighbouring residential properties and have a similar size of road frontage. 3. The size and design of the houses proposed are sympathetic to the existing housing. 33 34 BXVWVYNM 9V[YQUO 5N\NSVWTNUZ# ?JXRNZPQSS# =NZZQUY 4VSMYZXNJT &''/ **', 8B ,&%*T ?JXRNZPQSS 3NNLP GVVM 3NNLP GVVM <VQUN\Y 4VZZJON 3? ,,%+/T 7JQX *&&& FQN] ;YY[NY '&&& (*&& )*&& 3NNLP]VVM ,,&& 4VZZJON GNSS @ACE9 E2ID;56 4A 4A@DE 3? ,*%.)T .+&& '&&& )*&& ?JXRNZPQSS (/&& './, D5 ,-%)T ')/+ DQZN 3NNLP GVVM ,,%.T /,/& -&&& ')/& (+.. 6JYZ 3JSONXYPV .(., ,-%,T DS[QLN SJUM V]UNM K_ JWWSQLJUZ &'-.

At The Cross 12 till 12.45 ‘straight from the shore to your door’ CANdo July/August 2019 Editorial The other day I came across an interesting statistic, which you may have read in the local and national press. Apparently, Coupar Angus is one of the healthiest of places to live in the UK. It came eighth in a list of the top ten. You may view this with some scepticism - why not in the top three? Or with surprise that our town is mentioned at all. Further investigation revealed how the list was compiled. It comes from Liverpool University and the Consumer Data Research Centre. This body selected various criteria and applied them to towns and villages across the country. These criteria included access to health services - mainly GPs and dentists - air/environmental quality, green spaces, amenities and leisure facilities. With its Butterybank community woodland, park and blue spaces like the Burn, Coupar Angus did well in this analysis. If you are fit and healthy you may be gratified by this result. If however you are less fortunate, this particular league table will have less appeal. But it is salutary to learn that your home town has many advantages.

At The Cross 12 till 12.45 ‘straight from the shore to your door’ CANdo Editorial November/December 2019 Let’s tell them what we think In general, people like to be asked their opinion about issues that affect them. This is particularly true if the issues are local. There can, however, be a degree of cynicism: ‘Am I being asked what I think only to give the process the appearance of validity? No-one will pay any attention anyway.’ Trust is therefore paramount, that those doing the consulting haven’t already made up their minds and will listen to the answers they get. Bearing all that in mind, it’s encouraging to learn that, as we reported in the previous issue, there will indeed be a survey/questionnaire about the Town Hall, to find out what the community thinks the future should be for this landmark building. The consultation runs till the end of January 2020. Forms will be distributed in the town, or returns can be made online at http://consult.pkc.gov.uk/ - look for Coupar Angus Town Hall. Forward Coupar Angus has also run its own consultation on the theme of ‘Where Now?’ This was a well-attended and lively meeting, eliciting a high degree of participation, which in turn produced a wealth of ideas.

At The Cross 12 till 12.45 ‘straight from the shore to your door’ CANdo Sept/October 2019 Editorial In the previous CANdo, we drew readers’ attention to research on the healthiest places to live in the UK. In a list of the top ten, Coupar Angus came in seventh. Perhaps one of the reasons is the recommendation that derelict and unused land can be used to create the next generation of allotments or community farms. The aim is to increase local provision of fresh food. Which is something already well established in our town. Our thriving community gardens deliver significant amounts of produce, while the Grow Your Own group enjoy their learning sessions and visiting each other’s gardens. The recommendation comes from the Vacant and Derelict Land Taskforce, set up by the Scottish Land Commission and SEPA. It believes such land, called “stuck areas”, of which there is a significant amount, can be transformed to promote inclusive growth and greater wellbeing (and combat the effects of climate change).

  • RPR Vc89 V3 Part 1
    East Perthshire Rare Plant Register March 2015 version M.C.Robinson Veronica fruticans Rock Speedwell 1 INTRODUCTION A Rare Plant Register for the Watsonian Vice-county of East Perthshire (vc89) appeared on-line and in print in April 2011. One of the benefits of collecting all the available records of the vice-county’s rare, scarce and otherwise notable plants together in one place was to be able to see at a glance which sites needed an up- dating visit. This provided a focus for botanical field work in 2011 and 2012, resulting in a new edition in March 2013. This third edition includes the results from two further field seasons A Register for the vice-county of West Perthshire (vc87) is near to completion and one for Mid Perthshire (vc88) will follow in due course. The work involved in the creation of these registers will enable a revision of the Checklist of the Plants of Perthshire (Smith et al, 1992) to be undertaken. In the longer term it is intended to produce a new Flora of Perthshire. The only existing one, The Flora of Perthshire, by Francis Buchanan White, was published in 1898, so a new one is long overdue. No such register can ever be complete and this one must be considered a work in progress. Its two main objectives are 1. To provide information on the more ‘special’ plants of the vice-county for those needing it. 2. To stimulate botanists to provide more records. In respect of objective 1, there are a number of reasons why people may need to know where scarce and potentially vulnerable plant species are growing.
