Unless marked thus * all items stand delegated.
I DECLARATION OF INTEREST
There were no declarations of interest.
II CHANGE OF USE FROM OFFICE BUILDING TO CHILDRENS NURSERY
The Committee acceded to a request for a deputation to address the Committee in support of the above application 14-00843-FULL - 57 Blackscroft. After the deputation had stated its case and answered questions from members of the Committee, it was thanked for its attendance and withdrew.
Thereafter, having considered objections received, the Committee refused the application on the grounds that:-
(i) the proposed development is contrary to Policy 7: High Quality Design of the Dundee Local Development Plan as it would result in an unacceptable visual impact on the character and amenity of the area. There are no material considerations that would justify laying aside the provision of the Development Plan to grant planning permission; and
(ii) the proposed development is contrary to Policy 18: Private Day Nurseries of the Dundee Local Development Plan as it fails to meet the requirements of the policy in that the proposed outdoor play space does not provide an acceptable level of environmental quality and the proposed parking arrangements are unacceptable and do not provide sufficient bays for staff parking. There are no material considerations that would justify laying aside the provision of the Development Plan to grant planning permission.
III DELEGATED ITEMS
There was submitted Agenda Note AN12-2015, advising the Committee that from 22nd December, 2014 to 21st January, 2015, 33 applications had been decided under delegated powers. Five of these applications had attracted objections and all 33 had been approved.
The Committee noted accordingly.
David BOWES, Convener.
