The Legal Adviser to the Local Review Body advised of the appropriate procedure for consideration of the review request.

He also advised of a request by the applicant for a site visit. Page 1 3 The Local Review Body agreed to consider the report, prior to consideration of the request for a site visit. The Planning Adviser thereafter summarised the Notice of Review for the Applicant, the Report of Handling of the Appointed Officer, the representations lodged and the applicant's response to further representations. Photographs and plans of the site were displayed. The Local Review Body agreed that it had sufficient information before it to determine the matter without further procedure or a site visit. Accordingly, having considered all of the information, the Local Review Body agreed to uphold the decision to refuse planning permission on the grounds that:- 1. The proposal would be contrary to the adopted North Ayrshire Council Local Development Plan General Policy criterion (a) by reason of its siting, scale and design, leading to a significant loss of private amenity space within the plot and the over development of the site. 2. The proposal would be contrary to the adopted North Ayrshire Council Local Development Plan General Policy criterion (b) in terms of the adverse impact of the double garage on the amenity of the converted farmsteading development at Baidland Meadow by reason of its siting, bulk, height, depth and width, resulting in an unacceptable and overbearing impact on the amenity of the adjacent residential dwellings and their associated private amenity space. The meeting ended at 2.45 p.m. Page 2 4 NORTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL 14 February 2018 Local Review Body Title: Notice of Review: N/17/01100/PP 2 Horse Isle View, Ardrossan - Erection of a sunroom and roof alteration to the rear of the dwelling house and garage conversion Purpose: To submit, for consideration of the Local Review Body, a Notice of Review by the applicant in respect of a planning application refused by officers under delegated powers.
