Ardrossan/Saltcoats and Stevenston 07/00629/PP: Ardrossan: 59 Princes Street Hovepark Properties, 56 Hamilton Street, Saltcoats, have applied for planning permission for the erection of a residential development comprising 1 block of 6 flats, 1 block of 3 flats, 2 dwellinghouses and associated car parking at 59 Princes Street, Ardrossan. A site familiarisation visit was undertaken by the Planning Committee in respect of this application. The Committee agreed to refuse the application on the following ground:- 1. That the proposed dwellinghouses would result in the site being overdeveloped and would not accord with criteria (a) and (b) of the Development Control Statement of the North Ayrshire Local Plan (excluding Isle of Arran) in that their siting would represent backland development which would not offer an acceptable level of residential amenity for the proposed houses and which would be detrimental to the amenity of neighbouring residential properties. 3. Garnock Valley 3.1 07/01139/LBC: Dalry: 28 New Street Tracey Hogarth, 28 New Street, Dalry, has applied for retrospective listed building consent for the erection of a replacement fascia sign at the front of the estate agents at that address. The Committee agreed (a) to refuse the application on the following ground:- 1. That the fascia sign is contrary to Policies BE1 and BE5 contained within the North Ayrshire Local Plan (Excluding Isle of Arran), in that the fascia sign is detrimental to the character and setting of the Dalry Conservation Area and detracts from the character and appearance of the Category C(s) Listed Building. and (b) to authorise Enforcement action to secure the removal of the unauthorised sign. 3.2 07/00912/PP: Kilbirnie: 63 Herriot Avenue Mr. and Mrs. J.

That the proposed development would be contrary to Criterion (a) in the Development Control Statement of the Adopted North Ayrshire Local Plan (excluding Isle of Arran), in that it would comprise overdevelopment of the rear garden and leave insufficient private garden space for the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse. 4.
