II MINUTE OF MEETING OF LOCAL REVIEW BODY OF 26TH JUNE, 2018
The minute of the above meeting was submitted and noted.
III LOCAL PLANNING REVIEW LRB6/2018 - 13A ASH STREET, DUNDEE
There was submitted Agenda Note AN50-2018 giving details of a request for a review of planning permission for the retrospective formation of a car park at 13A Ash Street, Dundee.
The Planning Adviser gave a brief outline of the application and the reasons for refusal.
Thereafter, the Legal Adviser advised of the procedural/legal issues which required to be considered by the Local Review Body.
The Local Review Body considered the documentation submitted and, after discussion, agreed in terms of the Local Review Procedure Regulations to determine the review without further procedure on the basis of the information before it.
Thereafter, having considered all the information, the Local Review Body, having taken into account the provisions of the Development Plan, all material considerations, and all matters raised at the Review, upheld the Appointed Officer's decision to refuse Planning Permission 18-00023-FULL for the following reasons:-
(i) The proposal does not fall within a Class 4, 5 or 6 use, and is not of a wider industrial nature, and therefore the principle of the proposed land use fails to meet the policy requirements of Policy 3: General Economic Development Areas of the adopted Dundee Local Development Plan 2014. There are no material planning considerations which would justify approval of the application.
(ii) It has not been demonstrated that the proposal meets the Councils guidance on road standards. The proposal could have a detrimental impact on road safety standards and does not comply with Policies 55 and 57 of the Dundee Local Development Plan 2014. There are no material planning considerations which would justify approval of the application.

The Planning Adviser gave a brief outline of the application and the reasons for refusal.
Thereafter, the Legal Adviser advised of the procedural/legal issues which required to be considered by the Local Review Body.
The Local Review Body considered the documentation submitted and, after discussion, agreed in terms of the Local Review Procedure Regulations to determine the review without further procedure on the basis of the information before it.
Thereafter, having considered all the information, the Local Review Body, having taken into account the provisions of the Development Plan, all material considerations, and all matters raised at the Review, upheld the Appointed Officer's decision to approve Planning Permission 18‑00111-FULL, subject to the condition detailed below:-
