II LOCAL PLANNING REVIEW LRB05/2025

 

PLANNING APPLICATION 24/00797/FULL - SUB-DIVISION OF FLAT TO FORM 2 FLATS AND ASSOCIATED ALTERATIONS - G/2, 166 LONG LANE, BROUGHTY FERRY, DUNDEE

 

There was submitted Agenda Note AN19-2025 giving details of a request for a review of planning permission for Sub-Division of Flat to Form 2 Flats and Associated Alterations - G/2, 166 Long Lane, Broughty Ferry, Dundee.

 

The Planning Adviser gave a brief outline of the application and the reasons for refusal.

 

The Legal Adviser advised that the applicant had intimated in the Notice of Review that they had not raised any new matters which were not before the Appointed Officer at the time of them reaching their decision therefore all documentation should be taken into consideration by the Local Review Body during its deliberations.

 

The Local Review Body considered the documentation submitted and, having taken into account the provisions of the Development Plan, all material considerations and matters raised at the site visit, upheld the determination of the Appointed Officer and refused application 24/00797/FULL for the following reason:-

 

1. The application fails to comply with the requirements of Policy 10 (Design of New Housing) and Policy 12 (Formation of New Residential Development) of the Dundee Local Development Plan 2019 as the floor area of the proposed flats would not provide sufficient internal space for a high-quality residential environment. There are no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify a decision contrary to this.
