Newspaper Advertisement: Advertised on 27th June 2007 Recommendation: Refuse for the following reasons:- 1. In the interests of the proper planning of the area in that residential development would constitute inappropriate new development in the Green Belt and as such would be contrary to Scottish Executive Planning Policy (Scottish Planning Policy 3), Scottish Executive Planning Policy (Scottish Planning Policy 21), the Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Structure Plan 2000(Strategic Policy 1) and the Kilsyth Local Plan 1999 (Green Belt Policy GB3). 2. In the interests of amenity in that the residential development would adversely affect the existing rural character of the site and general area. 3. That should planning permission be granted for this development a precedent may be set which would make it difficult for the Planning Authority to refuse other similar applications. 5 6 NOTE TO COMMITTEE : If granted, this application will have to be notified to the Scottish Ministers in accordance with the Town & Country Planning (Notification of Applications) (Scotland) Direction 2007 because the proposed development falls within an area of land designated as Green Belt.

Description of Site and Proposal 1.1 This application seeks permission for the construction of a detached I% storey house on land to the north of Hillside, High Banton Road, Banton. The area is currently garden ground and is situated to the north of an existing house. There are a number of houses within the area, most of which have a cottage-style appearance. There is a distinct boundary at the rear of the properties. The site is situated within the Green Belt. 1.2 The proposed development will create a new access off High Banton Road. There will be a parking area to the front of the house, There will be a garden area at the front with a larger garden to the rear. The house itself will have 4 bedrooms and will be of traditional appearance. 2. Development Plan/National PlanninR Policies 2.1 Scottish Planninq Policy 3 "Planninq for Housinq" Key themes are promoting development in brownfield rather that Greenfield locations and seeking to maintain the effectiveness of existing Green Belts and Safeguarding the character and amenity of the countryside. 2.2 Scottish Planninq Policv21 "Green Belts" The three main purposes of the Greenbelt are: to maintain the identity of towns by establishing a clear definition of their physical boundaries and preventing coalescence; to provide countryside for recreation or institutional purposes of various kinds; and to maintain the landscape settings of towns. 2.3 Kilsvth Local Plan 1999 This site is covered by Policy GB2 (Green Belts) of the Kilsyth Local Plan 1999 which seeks to ensure that there is a presumption against new development in the Green Belt unless required for agriculture, forestry, horticulture, nature conservation, appropriate countryside recreation and tourism dependant upon a countryside location and other development such as telecommunications development, which can be shown to require to be located within the Green Belt. Policy GB3 states that there is a presumption against residential development in the Green Belt unless it is shown to be necessary for furtherance of agriculture, forestry and horticulture or other uses appropriate only to a rural area. 2.4 Glasqow and the Clyde Valley Joint Structure Plan 2000 Policies relevant to the proposed development and its Green Belt setting are summarised as follows:- Strategic Policy 1 - Strategic Development Locations: The Metropolitan Development Strategy requires the continued designation and safeguarding of the Glasgow and Clyde Valley Green Belt within which there is a presumption against the spread of built up areas and the encroachment of development into the countryside. Local Plans shall define the detailed boundaries and policies to safeguard the greenbelt; 3. Consultations and Remesentations 3.1 SEPA and Scottish Water were both consulted and no objections were raised regarding this development. However issues were raised regarding service connections, septic tanks and surface water drainage. These matters could be addressed through planning conditions. 3.2 My Traffic & Transportation, Geotechnical and Protective Services Sections were all consulted. 8 No objections were raised although issues were raised regarding parking and access and the need for a site investigation (there is a history of mining in this area). Again these matters could be addressed through the imposition of planning conditions. 3.3 One letter of representation has been received from the occupiers of Glenhead Cottage, High Banton, Kilsyth. The objections and my comments thereon are as follows :- High Banton is a very rural area being a hamlet consisting of a small number of low elevation dwellings, all with a cottage appearance. The above proposal will be out of keeping with this tenor as the plans depict a modern, large, two storey house. The proposed building takes up the majority of the plot, which will result in a "crowded" look.
