This development is intended to enable the retention and conversion of the Listed Building. The site is covered by Strategic Policies 1, 9 and 10 in the Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Joint Structure Plan 2000 Policy GBI, FOR3 and ENV 17 in the Monklands District Local Plan 1991. In September 1996 the Council agreed to remove Drumpellier Home Farm and adjoining fields from the Greenbelt subject to protecting the setting of the Listed Building through a planning application and/or the terms of a development brief. Following consultation there are no objections in respect to the provision of infrastructure. Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), NLC Community Services have expressed concern at the potential adverse impacts on locally important natural heritage interests and the landscape setting of Home Farm. Following normal neighbour notification and advertisement in the local press 180 letters of representation including 4 petitions with a total of 41 0 signatures were received details of which are included in the attached report. In considering the application the proposed development is contrary to Strategic Policy 9 and Policy GBI. It is however considered an appropriate development when assessed against the terms of Strategic Policy 10 and in light of the Councils previous decision to remove the application site from the Greenbelt. Although part of the site is covered by a Tree Preservation Order very few trees will be affected by the development and with supplementary planting and the introduction of a management regime is acceptable in terms of policy FOR3. The proposed vehicular access is generally considered acceptable and the potential impact on the setting of the Listed Building has been ameliorated by the reduction in the proposed level of development from 43 plots to 37. The consideration of the design, layout, materials and fenestration of the dwellinghouses at Reserved Matters stage will provide further opportunity to protect and enhance the setting of the Listed Building. I consider that the proposal is contrary to Strategic Policy 9 and Local Plan Policy GBI. The provision of enabling finance through this development to assist in the retention and conversion of the Listed Building and the material consideration of the earlier Council decision to remove the site from the greenbelt would lead me to conclude however that the departure is appropriate under the terms of Strategic Policy 10. It should be noted that if the Council are minded to approve the application Scottish Ministers require to be notified. Recommendation: Grant Subject to the Following Conditions:- 1.
