We are submitting new information in regards to the proposal of a siting a static caravan within the boundaries of wildwood croft, the initial location and submission of the plan , had to be slightly altered due to the negative impacts of health and safety on the original site. We put our caravan on our land during our 28 day planning rule , that allowed us to move and live in the caravan for 28 days during which we would await the planning outcome , in which we felt we had a good proposal. During investigation works done by a Scottish power engineer on Arran we found underground power lines and over head power lines , near the site in the red box plan, this was deemed unsafe , and was advised to move the caravan away from said power lines. We moved the caravan 20 metres away in front of the large barn , in its nature a mobile home is a moveable site and we felt that by moving it away from the stream , and further away from the road there would be no real material changes to the original planning and to the objections ,raised by planning , especially in regards to flooding, Unfortunately these investigation works needed to be carried out once we had possession of the land and were in a time scale of selling our house , buying and moving a caravan onto the land , and enrolling our daughter in school so time scales and logistical moving were squeezed and this is why the investigation work carried out was during the decision making of the planning officer , but we felt the small movement did not breach any planning directives as a mobile home can be constantly moved to satisfy any issues that may arise , but the refusal of the planning for the original proposal has in our belief no bearing in were the caravan is now Regards Dr Anwen Bill Duncan Dowie Appendix 1(b)

Page 11
22/00454/PP in providing homes, employment and leisure opportunities for our rural communities. We need to protect our valuable environmental assets in the countryside while promoting sustainable development which can result in positive social and economic outcomes. We want to encourage opportunities for our existing rural communities and businesses to grow, particularly on Arran and Cumbrae, and to support these areas so that they flourish. We also recognise that, in general, countryside areas are less well suited to unplanned residential and other developments because of their lack of access to services, employment and established communities. We will seek to protect our prime and locally important agricultural land from development except where proposals align with this spatial strategy. In principle, we will support proposals outwith our identified towns and villages for: a) expansions to existing rural businesses and uses such as expansions to the brewery and distillery based enterprises in the area. b) ancillary development for existing rural businesses and uses, including housing for workers engaged in agriculture or forestry. c) developments with a demonstrable specific locational need including developments for renewable energy production i.e. wind turbines, hydroelectric schemes and solar farms. d) tourism and leisure uses, where they would promote economic activity, diversification and sustainable development, particularly where they develop our coastal tourism offer/ infrastructure. e) developments which result in the reuse or rehabilitation of derelict land or buildings (as recognised by the Vacant and Derelict Land Survey) for uses which contribute to the Green and Blue Network such as habitat creation, new forestry, paths and cycle networks. f) sensitive infilling of gap sites consolidating existing developments where it would define/provide a defensible boundary for further expansion. g) small-scale expansion of settlements on Arran and Cumbrae for community led proposals for housing for people employed on the island, where a delivery plan is included, and infrastructure capacity is sufficient or can be addressed by the development and where the proposal meets an identified deficiency in the housing stock and is required at that location. All proposals will be expected to demonstrate the identified housing need cannot be met from the existing housing land supply. h) new housing in the countryside where it is a replacement or converted building or it is a house of exceptional design quality. i) sympathetic additions to existing well-defined nucleated groups of four or more houses (including conversions) in close proximity to one another and visually identifiable as a group with some common feature e.g. shared access. Additions will be limited to 50% of dwellings existing in that group as of January 2005 up to a maximum of four new housing units (rounded down where applicable). Strategic Policy 2 Placemaking Our Placemaking policy will ensure we are meeting LOIP priorities to make North Ayrshire safer and healthier by ensuring that all development contributes to making quality places. The policy also safeguards, and where possible enhances environmental quality through the avoidance of unacceptable adverse environmental or amenity impacts. We expect that all applications for planning permission meet the six qualities of
Page 12
22/00454/PP successful places, contained in this policy. This is in addition to establishing the principle of development in accordance with Strategic Policy 1: Spatial Strategy. These detailed criteria are generally not repeated in the detailed policies section of the LDP. They will apply, as appropriate, to all developments. Six qualities of a successful place Distinctive The proposal draws upon the positive characteristics of the surrounding area including landscapes, topography, ecology, skylines, spaces and scales, street and building forms, and materials to create places with a sense of identity. Welcoming The proposal considers the future users of the site and helps people to find their way around, for example, by accentuating existing landmarks to create or improve views (including sea views), locating a distinctive work of art in a notable place or making the most of gateway features to and from the development. It should also ensure that appropriate signage and lighting is used to improve safety and illuminate attractive buildings. Safe and Pleasant The proposal creates attractive places by providing a sense of security, including by encouraging activity, considering crime rates, providing a clear distinction between private and public space, creating active frontages and considering the benefits of natural surveillance for streets, paths and open spaces. The proposal creates a pleasant, positive sense of place by promoting visual quality, encouraging social and economic interaction and activity, and by considering the place before vehicle movement. The proposal respects the amenity of existing and future users in terms of noise, privacy, sunlight/daylight, smells, vibrations, glare, traffic generation, and parking. The proposal sufficiently investigates and responds to any issues of ground instability. Adaptable The proposal considers future users of the site and ensures that the design is adaptable to their needs. This includes consideration of future changes of use that may involve a mix of densities, tenures, and typologies to ensure that future diverse but compatible uses can be integrated including the provision of versatile multi- functional greenspace. Resource Efficient The proposal maximises the efficient use of resources. This can be achieved by re- using or sharing existing resources and by minimising their future depletion. This includes consideration of technological and natural means such as flood drainage systems, heat networks, solar gain, renewable energy and waste recycling as well as use of green and blue networks. Easy to Move Around and Beyond The proposal considers the connectedness of the site for people before the movement of motor vehicles, by prioritising sustainable and active travel choices, such as walking, cycling and public transport and ensuring layouts reflect likely desire lines, through routes and future expansions.

22/00454/PP Description Planning permission is sought for the siting of a static caravan for a temporary period to provide a residential base to enable the applicants to restore and improve the surrounding agricultural land and existing barn to form a new crofting business. The eventual proposed business detailed in the supporting information relates to the former farm of c.16.5 hectares extending to the south and west but this application relates only to the site of c.1000m2 immediately to the west of the C147 road. The site is c.400m south of the settlement boundary of Whiting Bay. The caravan has already been sited and is a static white residential caravan of standard design, measuring c.11m x 3.7m and 3m high. It is sited in an elevated position at the northeast of the site c.8m west of, and parallel to, the C147 which runs along the east side of the site and is accessed via the existing field access gate. Power is taken from the adjacent barn to the west. The applicants claim that this is not the final position of the caravan within the site. The site is agricultural in character and slopes uphill from east to west. It is adjoined by agricultural land to the north and west. Uphill to the west is a steel clad agricultural shed and a dilapidated timber former chicken shed; to the south is a recently built detached house (18/00615/PP); to the east, across the A841 are established dwellinghouses. STATEMENTS The application was accompanied by a Supporting Statement and a Design and Access Statement which describe plans for the future proposals for the site and the qualifications and personal circumstances of the applicants which have led them to the current proposal. The Reports state that the surrounding land had been previously used and classed as agricultural for many years, formerly as Dippenhead Farm, and that the applicants' intentions are to continue that use and to take on the agricultural holding number if possible. The aim is ultimately to create a family run croft producing woodland products and organic vegetables, eggs and honey through the incorporation of a sustainable blend of socio-agro-environmental techniques, thereby enhancing biodiversity for wildlife and humans. The future proposals include: creation of an additional 12 acres of native woodland planting and forestry; creation of a minimum 2 FTE jobs with seasonal increases and forecast rising future employment; Annual Reporting on changing bio-diversity and carbon sink estimates; monitoring of bird, invertebrate and plant diversity before and during to demonstrate how sustainable organic vegetable and fruit production using 'no dig hügelkultur' is, and will become, as climate and weather changes now and in the future. The aim is for the holding to be an example of carbon neutral, organic agricultural produce. Future plans also include sustainable eco-tourism with up to 10 cabins in the woodland, woodland creation, management and access, forest garden and woodland trails. The intention being to involve and educate people and enhance access for the community and community projects and provide a safe, demand free space for children and carers dealing with anxiety and/or autism. Future livestock
Page 14
22/00454/PP
would include highland cows, goats, pigs, chickens, goats, two horses for
conservation grazing, honey bees and a wormery for organic farming.
APPLICANTS
The applicants are a family group, one of whom has a PhD in Ecology and is
employed by the Scottish Government Agricultural Census as a Statistician and one
who has qualifications in Animal Biology. The owners also have over 20 years'
experience in the leisure and catering industry managing successful hospitality
businesses. The Statements claim that these experiences have led to the proposal
to create this sustainable agriculture and eco-tourism business which will lead to the
creation of at least two full time employment positions.
In terms of the justification for the siting of a caravan, the Statements claim the need
for the applicants' to sell their home elsewhere and move to live on the land to
undertake the work to prepare the land for the introduction of livestock and ensure
the wellbeing of the livestock. It is claimed there is a lack of affordable
accommodation elsewhere on Arran and no available rentals.
One of the applicants is registered disabled retired and while he can and will work
on the land, he cannot also reasonably manage this with a commute to reach the
site as well as he needs the ability to pace himself and rest for periods as required
throughout the day as his condition demands it. It is claimed a caravan onsite would
allow this.
A temporary consent is therefore sought for a period of three years to allow the
business to become established. The applicants would thereafter apply for a
permanent residence at the site.
The site is located the countryside, as identified within the Adopted 2019 North
Ayrshire Council Local Development Plan ("the LDP") and is unaffected by any site-
specific policies or proposals therein. Strategic Policy 1: Spatial Strategy (the
Countryside Objective) of the LDP is relevant, as is Strategic Policy 2: Placemaking.
PLANNING HISTORY
There has been previous agricultural use of the site including agricultural sheds built
under Permitted Development rights in 2004 (04/00702/AN) and 2007
(07/00009/AN).
There has also been consent given previously for a temporary portacabin for
agricultural purposes in 2003 (03/00680/PP) although an application to retain it
permanently was later refused in 2008 (08/00964/PP).
Planning permission for conversion of a former agricultural building on the site to
form a residence has been previously refused twice. 18/01034/PP was refused in
January 2019 as contrary to the Local Development Plan and that refusal was
upheld by the Local Review Board of the Council on 30th July 2019.
A pre-application (20/00077/PP) was then made in January 2020 on the basis that a
new Local Development Plan had been adopted in the interim period, that an
adjacent approved house site to the south was then being built and that these were
material considerations which justified re-application and that the proposal compliedPage 15
22/00454/PP with the policies of the new Adopted LDP. Planning permission was again refused, and that refusal was upheld by the Local Review Board in September 2020. Consultations and Representations The statutory neighbour notification was carried out and the application was advertised in the local press (Arran Banner). No objections have been received. CONSULTATIONS NAC ACTIVE TRAVEL AND TRANSPORT: No objection on transport related grounds, subject to conditions regarding visibility splays at the junction with the public road and requiring the private access/driveway to be hard surfaced and designed so as to prevent water issuing onto the public road. Response: Noted. Appropriate planning conditions and informative notes could be applied to any planning permission. Analysis Section 39 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997, as amended, requires that, in dealing with planning applications, the planning authority shall have regard to the development plan and to any other material considerations. The determining consideration in this application is whether it would be an appropriate site for residential use. It is noted that the LDP does not allocate any land for the temporary siting of residential caravans and each such case must be considered on its individual merits. The main determining issues in the application are therefore considered to be whether the development accords with Strategic Policy 1: The Countryside Objective and Strategic Policy 2: Placemaking of the 2019 Adopted North Ayrshire Local Development Plan and whether any other material considerations indicate that planning permission should be granted. The site is within the Countryside area and the Countryside Objective of Strategic Policy 1 sets out circumstances in which residential proposals outwith Towns and Villages can be supported in principle. These include: Criterion (b): ancillary development for existing rural businesses and uses, including housing for workers engaged in agriculture or forestry. In response to this criterion it is noted that there is no existing agricultural business at the site; Criterion (h): new housing in the countryside where it is a replacement or converted building or it is a house of exceptional design quality. None of these considerations apply to this proposal; and Criterion (i) sympathetic additions to existing well-defined nucleated groups of four or more houses in close proximity and visually identifiable as a group. It is noted that additional houses have previously been approved and subsequently built under this policy (15/00189/PP) and that the adjacent group has therefore reached its limit for expansion under the policy.
Page 16
22/00454/PP The principle of residential use at the site does not therefore accord with Strategic Policy 1: the Countryside Objective of the LDP. Strategic Policy 2: Placemaking requires that development proposals meet the qualities of successful places which are outlined in the policy without significant adverse environmental or amenity impacts. The six qualities of a successful space outlined in the policy are: Distinctive: proposals should draw on positive characteristics of the surrounding area, including building forms, landscapes, spaces and scales etc. Safe and Pleasant: proposals should create attractive places by providing a sense of security and creating a pleasant positive sense of place by promoting visual quality and should respect the amenity of existing and future users; Resource Efficient: proposals should maximise the efficient use of resources; Welcoming: proposals should consider future users of the site and make the most of gateway features to and from a development; Adaptable: proposals should ensure that the design is adaptable to the needs of future users of a site; and Easy to Move Around and Beyond: proposals should consider connectedness of sites for people before motor vehicles and prioritise sustainable and active travel choices. The siting of a static caravan would be a piecemeal form of development and would not satisfactorily deliver on any of the above qualities. It would not therefore improve on or add to the sense of Place of the surrounding area and given this consideration, the proposal does not accord with Strategic Policy 2 Placemaking. Given the foregoing, the proposed siting of a residential caravan does not accord with the relevant Local Development Plan policies. The previous planning history of the site is also a material consideration which indicates that this location has at several points been considered and found not to be suitable for residential use. The personal circumstances of an applicant, ie. the medical need to be present at the site in this case, are rarely a material planning consideration which outweighs the non-compliance with the Local Development Plan and are not considered as such in this case, given the short distance to the settlement of Whiting Bay where options for residential accommodation, including an established caravan park, can be found. The proposed wider re-development of the associated land has not been considered in detail in this application which is for the siting of a temporary caravan, but it is not considered that the proposed re-use of the land or the potential creation of two jobs (presumably for the applicants) is a material consideration sufficient to outweigh the above conclusion that the proposal does not accord with the Local Development Plan.
