North Ayrshire Local Plan Policy BE14: Townscape Audits and Proposed Conservation Areas for Dalry and Kilbirnie Submitted report by the Assistant Chief Executive (Development and Promotion) and received a presentation from Gordon Fleming of Consultants A.R.P. Lorimer and Associates on the Townscape Audits for Dalry and Kilbirnie and the proposed designation of two Conservation Areas. Page 1 Townscape Audits were commissioned to allow a design framework to be developed for Dalry and Kilbirnie. The Audits recommend development strategies to preserve and enhance the urban qualities of the 2 towns and highlight key areas for development which would act as a catalyst to increase activity in the towns. They also consider the built heritage of each town as something worthy of protection. In Dalry, an Article 4 Direction is suggested to remove Class 2 and Class 7 of permitted development rights, to require consent for alterations or additions to roof and gates/fences/walls or other means of enclosure within the Conservation Area. An Article 4 Direction is proposed for Kilbirnie, removing Class 2 of permitted development rights and requiring consent for alterations or additions to roofs. The preferred Conservation Areas for Dalry and Kilbirnie were set out in Appendices 2 and 3 respectively. The Committee agreed (a) to designate as Conservation Areas with Article 4 Directions, the areas in Dalry and Kilbirnie shown on Appendices 2 and 3 to the report; and (b) that the Assistant Chief Executive (Development and Promotion) undertake the necessary advertisement and other public consultation procedures to consult the public and other parties on the Townscape Audits and proposals for Conservation Areas and report the outcome to a future meeting of the Committee. 4. Urgent Repair Works at 121-125 and Serving of Completion Notice at 121-123 Main Street, West Kilbride Submitted report by the Assistant Chief Executive (Development and Promotion) requesting authority to carry out urgent repairs at 121-125 and serve a Completion Notice at 121-123, both Main Street, West Kilbride. Permission was granted in 2001 for alterations to 121-123 Main Street, West Kilbride. The work was not completed and the building has now fallen into a dilapidated state. As works had begun on the property, however, the planning permission remains extant unless a Completion Notice is served. The buildings and unoccupied building at 125 Main Street, West Kilbride are in a Conservation Area and are considered to have architectural and townscape value. An independent engineer was commissioned to carry out a structural analysis of the premises, which concluded that the key features of the front facades and roofs can be preserved and offered guidance as to the minimum work required to ensure this. Page 2 A Planning Authority can request Scottish Ministers for authority to execute any necessary works which appear urgent for the preservation of a listed building or a building in a Conservation Area and may also give notice to the owner to require payment of the cost of the works. While the properties in question are located within the West Kilbride Conservation Area, they are not listed at present. It is intended to ask Historic Scotland to consider listing the properties; however, since Historic Scotland may be reluctant to list properties with extant planning permission, a Completion Notice requires to be served. The Committee agreed (a) to request direction from the Scottish Ministers under Section 68 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 to provide for the carrying out of urgent repairs to 121-125 Main Street, West Kilbride; (b) to approve the subsequent serving of a notice on the owners, seeking recovery of the costs incurred; and (c) to approve the serving of a Completion Notice on 121-123 Main Street, West Kilbride to render the unexpired balance of planning permission null and facilitate the process of listing. 5. Development Brief for Anchorage North, Blackwaterfoot, Isle of Arran Submitted report by the Assistant Chief Executive (Development and Promotion) requesting approval of a Development Brief for Anchorage North, Blackwaterfoot, for public consultation. The Anchorage North site was allocated for residential purposes through the recent Isle of Arran Local Plan process. The site has an indicative capacity of 10 units. However, in order to provide variety and choice of dwellings, it is considered acceptable for development at this location to comprise 4 semi-detached and 8 detached houses, giving the site a capacity of 12 units. It is proposed to carry out public consultation on the Brief set out in the Appendix to the report, prior to its inclusion as Supplementary Information to the Isle of Arran Local Plan. The Committee agreed (a) to approve, for public consultation, the Development Brief for Anchorage North, Blackwaterfoot set out in the Appendix to the report; and (b) that the Assistant Chief Executive (Development and Promotion) report back to a future meeting on the outcome of consultation.

The Committee agreed to refuse the application on the following ground:- 1. That the proposed replacement dwellinghouse, by reason of its scale, siting, impact on the character of the area and lack of access/parking facilities would: (i) be contrary to the Development Control Statement of the Adopted Isle of Arran Local Plan; (ii) represent unsatisfactory backland development which would be contrary to the character and amenity of the area; and (iii) establish an undesirable precedent for replacement of other back houses with houses of inappropriate scale which would be detrimental to residential amenity. 6.2 06/00278/PP: Kildonan: Site to North East of Woodside Farm Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong, Whin Farm, Kildonan, Isle of Arran have applied for planning permission for the erection of a dwellinghouse for an agricultural worker on a site to the north east of Woodside Farm, Kildonan.

That effluent disposal arrangements shall comply with the current code of practice BS6297:1983, to the satisfaction of North Ayrshire Council as Planning Authority. Surface water shall be excluded from the septic tank. 2. That the septic tank shall be located in such a position as will enable it to be emptied by road tanker. 3. That, prior to the commencement of the development, the applicants shall submit for the written approval of North Ayrshire Council as Planning Authority, samples of the proposed external finishes to be used.

That, prior to the occupation of the dwellinghouse hereby approved, the first six metres of the private access road, as measured from the edge of the A841 public road, shall be widened to 5.5 metres and hard surfaced and a passing place shall be provided on the private access road leading to the site, all to the satisfaction of North Ayrshire Council as Planning Authority. 6.3 06/00266/PP: Lamlash: Site to North of Isle Oransay Barbara Beattie, Lamlash Bay Apartments, Lamlash, Isle of Arran has applied for planning permission for the conversion of a double garage to form a dwellinghouse on a site to the north of Isle Oransay, Lamlash, Isle of Arran.

  • A BRIEF HISTORY of ST MOLIOS CHURCH SHISKINE This Booklet Is a Brief History of Church Life in and Round Shiskine, and in Particular of St Molios Church
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF ST MOLIOS CHURCH SHISKINE This booklet is a brief history of church life in and round Shiskine, and in particular of St Molios Church. The Red Church was opened for worship on 21st July 1889. This event testified to the faith and commitment of generations of Christian people. The expansion has continued. In 1962 a Guild Room and kitchen were added to the church. In 1964 the kitchen and Vestry were let out to the Board of health twice a week for physiotherapy. Thereafter the toilets were altered to ensure access, for disabled people and improvements to the kitchen and hall were carried out. The profits generated by this booklet will benefit the fund set up to enable improvements to the Church & Hall. The new manse was built in 1978. Services on Sunday are well attended both by our members and visitors who flock to the island every year. The church of Scotland has adjusted ministry on the island so that since 2005 our parish has been linked not only to Lochranza and Pirnmill, but also to Brodick & Corrie. The arrangement is made possible by the appointment of a minister and a part-time Parish Assistant resident in Shiskine manse. The Minister and Reader conduct three services each on a Sunday, ensuring the tradition of morning worship can continue. Worship is always at 12:00 noon at St. Molios. Visitors to other churche in the linkage need to consult "The Arran Banner" or the church notice board for times of services which vary. The Sunday Club meets at the time of morning worship weekly during term-time and is open to children from four to eleven.

  • Arran, Argyll & Bute
    COURSES The GB&I Top 100 PLAY THE GB&I TOP 100 he remote location of many of Great Britain and Ireland’s finest courses means that playing them Arran, Argyll & Bute often becomes as much an ‘experience’T as it is a golf break. Rarely is this more true than in this You’ve never undertaken a golf break like this one, but after you month’s selected area. A car, for instance, do, we reckon you’ll be searching hard for another similar one. can only be one part of your transport. Sea and air, indeed, are arguably more WORDS: Chris Bertram PHOTOGRAPHY: David Cannon, Getty useful. It would be convenient to describe our chosen area as ‘Scotland’s south west islands’. We can’t though, because three of the courses aren’t on an island – it just seems like they are. Hence, the map over the page has never been more useful. It perfectly illustrates the area we are covering as well as the extent of the challenge; a golf weekend in Southport is altogether more straightforward. But a lot less fun. Our trip takes in three main stops: the Machrihanish area near Campbeltown on mainland Scotland (albeit a slim finger of it); The Machrie on the Isle of Islay and the island of Arran. They are all fairly close to each as the crow flies but no one method of transport fits all. There are many ways to tackle the problem and GW has had experiences of two. Both were good. One option is to enlist the services of the Kintyre Express.

  • The Arran Place-Name Survey 1974–75
    The Arran Place-Name Survey 1974–75 George Broderick Universität Mannheim 1. Introduction In the early spring of 1974 I was presented with the opportunity of undertaking a collection and survey of the place-names of the island of Arran.1 This unusual situation came about as a result of the wishes and desires of the Arran Society of Glasgow to have a scientific collection and assessment of Arran place-names undertaken by the School of Scottish Studies, University of Edinburgh. In this regard, the then encumbent of the Chair in the School, Professor John MacQueen, was asked by the Society to provide personnel for this assignment. I was not the first but in fact the fourth (if I recall correctly) to be asked; the previous three, for one reason or another, were unable to complete the task.2 Now under pressure from the Arran Society, Prof. MacQueen, mindful that I had expressed an interest in the project, called me into his office and put the case to me. He said that many of the recordings made by Prof. Nicolaisen were of poor sound quality – Nicolaisen himself admits that in his own Tape Register – and suggested that I take over where Nicolaisen had left off and seek to re-establish contact with as many of his informants as possible who were still living. It was pointed out to me that prior collections were incomplete and I would have to rescue what was left in Arran to complete the job. This I agreed to do. 2. The name Arran3 OIr. nom.
