DEVELOPMENT SERVICES (a) PLANNING APPLICATION 06/00516/DET, MR KIRWAN, 2 CROMWELL STREET, DUNOON The Senior Planning Officer distributed a late letter from the applicant. Decision The application be refused as outlined in the report by the Head of Planning. (Reference: Report by the Head of Planning Services dated 17th July 2006 – submitted) (b) PLANNING APPLICATION 04/02439/DET, COWAL LEISURE, HUNTER'S QUAY HOLIDAY VILLAGE, DUNOON There was extensive discussion on this item and on the terms of the Head of Planning’s report. Motion The Committee accept the report submitted by the Head of Planning and agree the recommendations of the Officer to refuse the application. Proposed by Councillor Chennell Seconded by Councillor McQueen Amendment That the Planning Application be granted in that:- The cumulative impact of the proposed villages will not have a serious adverse effect on the existing landform nor will the existing mature woodland on the eastern boundary be adversely affected and therefore the application is not contrary to the provisions of: SPP1, SPP2, SPP15, NPPG14, NPPG18, STRAT S11, STRAT FW2, STRAT DC7, STRAT DC8, POL RUR1, POL RUR2, POL TOUR1, POL B8 of the Cowal Local Plan and POL ENV1, POL ENV6, POL ENV7, POL ENV8, POL ENV19, LP TOUR1 of the modified finalised draft local plan 2006. The Pipistrelle Bat and the Red Squirrel are not endangered species in Argyll generally nor Cowal specifically and therefore the proposed application would not have a serious impact upon either species but would probably have a positive effect with regard to the Red Squirrel and therefore does not contravene the policies as laid out in the reasons for refusal. That conditions are tied to any approval and to be discussed and agreed between the applicant and the planning department as follows. Page 3 • Applicant and planning officers agree to find a suitable design and layout of villages L and M to more effectively screen the villages from vantage points on the Kilmun side of the Holy Loch. • The last six caravans which are proposed at the southern end next to the Golf Club and Victoria Crescent in village K be refused permission. • Early steps to be taken to more effectively screen village Q and to reinstate the high ground at the front of the quarry. • The number of stances should be reduced to the satisfaction of planning officers in relation to village R particularly the placement of stances on higher ground on the northern side and those on the southern side next to the golf club. • Tree planting to create screening should take place before any new stances are created and that consideration be given to the planting of fast growing coniferous species of tree for more effective screening in winter. • Trees which have been planted previously to act as screening but which have since died must be replaced. • Cowal Leisure should continue with its own policy of placing only caravans of the same shade of green. Proposed by Councillor Marshall Seconded by Councillor McKinven Councillor Macintyre intimated to the meeting that this application was a very serious matter for the Cowal Community and that as an elected Member from Bute he did not feel that it would be appropriate for him to participate in the decision making process. Councillor Scoullar concurred with this opinion and intimated that he would also not participate in the decision making. Councillor McQueen requested that a role call vote be taken in relation to this matter and this was seconded by Councillor Chennell. Councillor Chennell Motion Councillor Currie No Vote Councillor Macintyre No Vote Councillor Marshall Amendment Councillor McKinven Amendment Councillor McQueen Motion Councillor Scoullar No Vote There being equal votes for the Motion and the Amendment, in line with Standing Order 11.4 of the Councils Constitution, the Chairman used his casting vote in favour of the Motion. Decision The Committee accept the report submitted by the Head of Planning and agree the recommendations of the Officer to refuse the application. (Reference: Report by the Head of Planning dated 21st August 2006 – submitted) Page 4 (c) PLANNING APPLICATION 06/01461/DET, MR P WILLIAMS, LAND NORTH EAST OF BUS STATION, HIGH ROAD, PORT BANNATYNE, ISLE OF BUTE Decision A discretionary Hearing to be held prior to the determination of this application.

  • THE HISTORY of SUBMARINE SQUADRON FOURTEEN Some of the Information Is from a Book That Is in the Castle House Museum, Dunoon, Scotland
    SubRon 14 The Text History Page 1 of 9 Some of The History of SubRon 14 and Scotland This page is the text history of SubRon 14 Last update 10 September, 2009 THE HISTORY OF SUBMARINE SQUADRON FOURTEEN Some of the information is from a book that is in the Castle House Museum, Dunoon, Scotland The closure of the U.S. Navy’s fleet ballistic missile submarine refit site in Holy Loch, Scotland not only brings to a close an important era in the development and deployment of the undersea nuclear deterrent force, but also concludes a joint effort by the people of the United States and the United Kingdom to maintain world peace. During the 1950's, the tensions of the Cold War resulted in the adoption of a policy of nuclear deterrence as the ultimate option in the overall concept of flexible response. The United States pursued a program that relied on three elements of strategic deterrence: the manned bombers of the Strategic Air Command, land based intercontinental ballistic missiles and a force of nuclear powered Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) submarines. The successful development of nuclear propulsion and the rapid increase in the sophistication of missile propulsion and technology during the decade gave viability to the submarine missile concept. The atomic submarine, with extensive submerged endurance and self-sufficiency, was virtually undetectable, thus offering much greater stealth and deterrence value than more traditional strategic bomber and static land based systems. SUBMARINE SQUADRON FOURTEEN IS ESTABLISHED The first missile system developed to be deployed on the FBM submarine was the Polaris A-1.

  • Argyll and Bute Council Bute and Cowal Area Committee
    ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL BUTE AND COWAL AREA COMMITTEE Community Services 4 February 2014 Rezoning Request by Strone Parent Council 1. SUMMARY 1.1. Strone Primary School Parent Council made a formal request to the council in September 2013 to consider rezoning their current catchment area. 1.2. Rezoning requests received since 2010 have not been considered due to the advice from the Scottish Government that the legislation was not fit for purpose and subsequently the report of the Commission for Rural Education which recommended amendments to the legislation. 1.3. The Council administration has made it clear that they have no plans to review the school estate at this time and the recommendations in the report prepared by the Commission for Rural Education are being considered by the Scottish Government and COSLA, joint commissioners of the report. However, none of the 38 recommendations in the report would prevent us from reviewing school catchment areas at this time 1.4. Three requests relating to rezoning of catchment areas have now been received by the Executive Director of Community Services, these being: • Strone Primary School – Sandbank Primary School • Achahoish Primary School – Tarbert Academy (Primary dept) • North Bute Primary School – Rothesay Joint Campus (Primary dept) This report refers to the first of these three requests. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS Following consideration at the Bute and Cowal Business Day on the 7 th January 2014 that the Bute and Cowal Area Committee: 2.1. Considers the request of Strone Parent Council to increase the catchment area of Strone Primary School (PS). 2.2 Supports the recommendation that if the proposal be approved existing children and younger siblings would not be required to transfer school for the duration of their primary education as a result of the proposal.
