Agenda item

The application was for the demolition of the existing dwelling and garage and the erection of 3 new dwellings.

The application would normally have been determined under the Council's Scheme of?Delegation.?However, it had been called in by Councillor David Lewis given the level of local concern and the previous refusal. ??

Members were informed of the following updates on the application:

“A Tree Preservation Order, 04/21, has been made in relation to a Scots Pine and a Western Red Cedar in the rear garden and the group of trees along the rear boundary.”

As the application had triggered the Council’s Public Speaking Scheme Dr Andrew Hosty and Mr Paul McEntegart spoke in objection to the application.
