Investigation/Final Decision 260 days for a report JH – What is the best way to identify what complainants are looking for; compensation, apology or lessons learned SPSO – A meeting set up with the complainant to discuss what is achievable is seen as the best method ID – How to log time taken by officers on SPSO required reports SPSO – this should be reported to the SPSP officer. A commentary on monthly findings is available each month on the SPSO website. 2. The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) Neil Baxter from RIAS attended the meeting to discuss planning applications and Copyright theft. It was noted that the City of Edinburgh Councils portal wording covers copyright, this can be found here. Many agreed that much of this information should not stay online longer than is required. RIAS, as well as the RTPI and RICS, have also been requested to review the Validation Standards work by the DMSC. Action: TM to forward a copy of the draft of the Validation Standards document Neil shared information on the Scottish Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design 2016, nominations can be forwarded to [email protected] 3. Minutes of last meeting Minutes of the last meeting were agreed Hazardous substances training will go ahead in Falkirk towards the end of the year Action: TM will forward details when finalised. 4. Scottish Government Update A copy of the SG Development Management update can be found by following the link below Development Management Sub Committee - SG update - September 2015.pdf The Development Management Forum will be held on 24/11/15. Information on the SG website The Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Communities and Pensioners’ rights, Alex Neil MSP, announced on 10 June that the Scottish Government would be looking again at aspects of the planning system. The Programme for Government, announced on 1 September, includes the review of the planning system with a focus on providing a quicker, more accessible and efficient planning process. Whilst Significant improvements have been made to the planning system in the last ten years but more needs to be done to support delivery of quality development and a high performing system. Details of how the review will be carried out and opportunities for stakeholder involvement will all be confirmed in due course. The Scottish Government is happy to review the Validation Standards document and to discuss what support SG can provide. Action: TM to forward a copy to CD for review NJ highlighted an issue with the Historic Environment Scotland changes and circular 1/2015. 5. Enforcement Officers Forum Alan Gueldner of Scottish Borders Council will be representing the enforcement forum for the foreseeable future. AG discussed the recently updated Enforcement Manual. This is distinct from the enforcement charter and as a document sets out the enforcement officers role and acts as a reference. A copy of the Scottish Planning Enforcement Manual is now available on the HOPS Knowledge Hub Page. Action: TM to arrange for the author to attend a future meeting of the DMSC Also discussed were the current fines that enforcement staff can use. These were not seen as proportional to other expenditures for Developers and were seen as something that could be reviewed in the upcoming reform. 6. DPEA Stakeholder Forum AH attended the last DPEA meeting on behalf of ID. They have appointed 4 new officers to help alleviate the backlog of cases and carry out work on local and structure plans. CN raised the issue of changes in the appeals regulations Action: ID will raise this at the next stakeholder meeting HOPS will be writing a letter to the DPEA about the supply of paper copies of all documents to the reporters. It is the view of HOPS that many documents can and should be provided electronically. 7. Obligations Tracking CN queried the sub-committee about the use of tracking in Idox/Uniform of payment times and trigger points. Idox provide a package to do this. Aberdeenshire currently have a license for this. Falkirk plan to do this in Idox and the system will shortly be live. A planning monitoring group from all sectors meet quarterly to discuss this. Aberdeen City does this in a non-Uniform based system. 8. Disposal of Legacy Cases Marie Ferguson at the Scottish Government wrote a letter to all authorities stating the change in legacy cases. Any cases more than 1 year will be considered. Authorities are dealing with these cases in a variety of manners. Scottish Borders withdraw long term cases with no progress. Letters are sent to developers and cases withdrawn if no reply is received. If the case is challenged a new application is sought. 9. Open Space Management Who has liability for open space management was discussed. Action: This issue will be added to the workstream for the sub-committee. A set of common conditions may be collated 10. Pre-application Charging CN wanted to discuss the different options to make this possible. Currently only Highland and Fife Councils use any sort of charging for this. NJ stated that the City of Edinburgh lawyers questioned the legality of charging within the current legislation. Scottish Borders are currently researching possible options to do this. They have a considered a range of charging options dependant on the complexity of the application: Desktop research - £30 Meeting with planning officer- £100 Half day workshop - £250 Full stakeholder meeting - £750 11. AOB The validation standards document by Argyll and Bute will be recirculated to the sub-committee Action: TM to recirculate the most recent version The Knowledge Hub is now being used for information requests. It has been noted that the response rate has fallen significantly. Action: TM to email weekly when there are requests on the forum. The Forestry Commission will be invited to speak at the next meeting. There have been changes to the permitted development rights. Ruth Mulvenna project manager of Tell Me Scotland provided a brief update on the project. Currently 26 of the 29 authorities uploading to the portal are providing information on planning applications as well as 21 other organisation. Planning is the most frequently used area of Tell Me Scotland. Ruth can be contacted at [email protected] Police Scotland requested information about the availability of Police Estate plans. The consensus was that this needs to be put forward by the agent on a case by case basis if there is sensitive material. Action: CN will respond on behalf of the DMSC .

    Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey For Canongate Kirkyard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate’s close proximity to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is situated at the eastern end of Canongate Burgh, has been influential on both the fortunes of the Burgh and the establishment of Canongate Kirk. In 1687, King James VII declared that the Abbey Church of Holyroodhouse was to be used as the chapel for the re-established Order of the Thistle and for the performance of Catholic rites when the Royal Court was in residence at Holyrood. The nave of this chapel had been used by the Burgh of Canongate as a place of Protestant worship since the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, but with the removal of access to the Abbey Church to practise their faith, the parishioners of Canongate were forced to find an alternative venue in which to worship. Fortunately, some 40 years before this edict by James VII, funds had been bequeathed to the inhabitants of Canongate to erect a church in the Burgh - and these funds had never been spent. This money was therefore used to build Canongate Kirk and a Kirkyard was laid out within its grounds shortly after building work commenced in 1688. 1 Development It has been ruminated whether interments may have occurred on this site before the construction of the Kirk or the landscaping of the Kirkyard2 as all burial rights within the church had been removed from the parishioners of the Canongate in the 1670s, when the Abbey Church had became the chapel of the King.3 The earliest known plan of the Kirkyard dates to 1765 (Figure 1), and depicts a rectilinear area on the northern side of Canongate burgh with arboreal planting 1 John Gifford et al., Edinburgh, The Buildings of Scotland: Pevsner Architectural Guides (London : Penguin, 1991).

The ecclesiastics of Scotland have chosen for their meeting […] twelve days divided between the latest of May and the earliest of June [ …] the streets swarm with clergymen of every possible diversity of appearance, and from every corner of Scotland […] not only does the General Assembly of the Kirk meet at this time, but also that of the “Free Church,” which has closely copied the organization of the national establishment: there are more clergymen, for the time, in Edinburgh than there are priests in Rome.
