August 2023
1 Introduction 
1.1 Miss McKinney instructed Ayrshire Architecture to prepare drawings and submit the
necessary applications for the proposed single storey side extension to
dwellinghouse to form garage at 33 High Road, Saltcoats. 
1.2 The Site 
The property is a semi detached bungalow with a pitched roof with concrete tiles and
the external wall finish is wet dash render with stone base course, quoins and
window details. 
1.3 Application 
An application was submitted on 30th March 2023 and was validated on 5th April
2023.  The application reference number is 23/00249/PP and was allocated to an
Assistant Planning Officer. 
On 5th May 2023, Planning contacted Ayrshire Architecture advising that they would
be unlikely to be able to support the gable end roof design of the extension as
proposed. Ayrshire Architecture was advised that as a result of the house being semi
detached, and properties within the area all featuring hipped roofs, it was considered
that amending the roof to a hip would be more likely acceptable. 
Following investigation, and consultation with the clients, Ayrshire Architecture
replied to Planning advising that having visited the area there were other properties
having gabled extensions onto existing hipped roof houses.  Given the unique
location of the property on the corner of Murray Avenue and High Road, this type of
extension would work.  This would be due to the gap to another house, which would
offset the lack of symmetry on the other side of the semi detached dwellinghouse,
and as such, Ayrshire Architecture asked if the application could be determined as it
was submitted. 
The application was refused under delegated powers on 26th June 2023.

Application for Notice of Review to Local Review Body 
Proposed single storey side extension to dwellinghouse to form garage at 
33 High Road, Saltcoats
August 2023
2 Reasons for Refusal and responses 
2.1 Reason 
The proposed roof design, scale and mass would have a detrimental impact on the
visual appearance of the property and would not be in keeping with the
characteristics of the neighbouring properties and therefore, the proposal would have
a detrimental impact on the amenity of the area. The proposal does not accord with
the qualities of successful places and would detract from the character and
appearance of the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Strategic Policy 2,:
“Placemaking” of the adopted North Ayrshire Development Plan  and Policy
14:”Design and Place” of National Planning Framework 4. 
Response   
The house borders Murray Avenue, Saltcoats and as such there is a large gap and
road to the right hand side of the house before the next dwellinghouse (as seen in
section 3.1 - Photograph 1). This separation helps minimise the impact of the gable
roofed extension. Also the house is the end of the row of similar houses and the
extension is less intrusive due to this.   
There are other examples of gable roofed houses and extensions within the local
area (as seen in section 3.1 – photographs 2, 3 and 4).  One example of a single
house is located at 83 High Road, and sits next to hipped roofed houses
(photographs 3 and 4). 
As noted in the handling report, there were no objections from the neighbours who
had been notified.

4 Summary 
4.1 The examples mentioned above, together with the photographic examples showing
an approved similar situation at 83 High Road (photograph 3) where a gabled roof
sits adjacent to a hipped roof with no separating road or gap between, show that the
proposed gabled roofed extension would not be out of keeping or detrimental to the
visual amenity of the area and therefore would comply with the requirements of the
current North Ayrshire Local Development Plan. 
As a result of all the information detailed in this report, it is considered that the
application should be granted consent and the refusal decision overturned by the
Local Review Body.

Relevant Development Plan Policies 
SP1 - Towns and Villages Objective
Towns and Villages Objective 
Our towns and villages are where most of our homes, jobs, community facilities,
shops and services are located. We want to continue to support our communities,
businesses and protect our natural environment by directing new development to
our towns and villages as shown in the Spatial Strategy. Within urban areas (within
the settlement boundary), the LDP identifies town centre locations, employment
locations and areas of open space. Most of the remaining area within settlements is
shown as General Urban Area. Within the General Urban Area, proposals for
residential development will accord with the development plan in principle, and
applications will be assessed against the policies of the LDP. New non-residential
proposals will be assessed against policies of this LDP that relate to the proposal. 
In principle, we will support development proposals within our towns and villages
that: 
a) Support the social and economic functions of our town centres by adopting a
town centre first principle that directs major new development and investment to
town centre locations as a priority including supporting town centre living.

Page 16

23/00249/PP
b) Provide the right new homes in the right places by working alongside the
Local Housing Strategy to deliver choice and variety in the housing stock, protecting
land for housing development to ensure we address housing need and demand
within North Ayrshire and by supporting innovative approaches to improving the
volume and speed of housing delivery.
c) Generate new employment opportunities by identifying a flexible range of
business, commercial and industrial areas to meet market demands including those
that would support key sector development at Hunterston and i3, Irvine.
d) Recognise the value of our built and natural environment by embedding
placemaking into our decision-making. 
e) Prioritise the re-use of brownfield land over greenfield land by supporting a
range of strategic developments that will deliver:
o regeneration of vacant and derelict land through its sustainable and
productive re-use, particularly at Ardrossan North Shore, harbour and marina areas,
Montgomerie Park (Irvine) and Lochshore (Kilbirnie).
o regeneration and conservation benefits, including securing the productive re-
use of Stoneyholm Mill (Kilbirnie) and supporting the Millport Conservation Area
Regeneration Scheme.
f) Support the delivery of regional partnerships such as the Ayrshire Growth
Deal in unlocking the economic potential of the Ayrshire region. 
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
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.

Page 17

23/00249/PP
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. 
Description 
Planning permission is sought for the erection of an extension to side of
dwellinghouse to form garage. 
33 High Road is a semi-detached dwellinghouse situated in the settlement of
Saltcoats. The application site occupies a corner plot between High Road and
Murray Avenue. The external finish of the main dwellinghouse consists of a grey
tiled hipped roof, light brown rough casting to the front elevation and white rendering
to the rear. To the front there are garden grounds and off-street parking and to the
rear are more private garden grounds. There is an existing shed positioned to the
side of the main dwellinghouse. The surrounding area is largely residential.   
The proposed extension would be positioned to the east side elevation of the
existing dwelling. The extension would attach to the existing house with part of the
existing roof being stripped back to accommodate the extension. The erection of the
extension would result in the roof design of the dwelling changing from hipped to a
gable. The extension would reach a height of some 6.5m and would match the roof
pitch of the main dwellinghouse. On plan the extension would measure some 6m by
10m. The extension would be finished in render and facing brick to match the
existing. The proposed roof would be finished in concrete roof tiles to match the
existing. A roller shutter door measuring some 4.3m would be installed to the front

Page 18

23/00249/PP
elevation and on the side elevation a door and upper window would be installed. The
rear elevation of the extension would be blank. 
In the adopted North Ayrshire Local Development Plan (LDP) the site lies within a
General Urban Area allocation (Saltcoats) and therefore the Towns and Villages
Objective of Strategic Policy 1: Spatial Strategy applies to this proposal. In addition,
all development proposals require to be assessed in terms of Strategic Policy 2:
Placemaking. All development proposals also require to be assessed against the
adopted National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4). 
The agent/applicant was advised that the current design was unlikely to be
supported given the proposed gable end roof design but confirmed they wanted to
continue with the determination of the proposal as originally submitted. The agent
advised that they believe the proposal would be acceptable given that other
properties have gabled extensions onto existing hipped roof houses and given the
corner position of the house. 
Consultations and Representations 
Neighbour notification was conducted for this application in accordance with
statutory procedures. No representations were received in relation to the application. 
No consultations required to be undertaken. 
Analysis 
The erection of an extension to an existing dwellinghouse within a General Urban
Area allocation is considered acceptable in principle in terms of the Town and
Villages Objective of Strategic Policy 1, and the detail of the application therefore
only requires to be assessed in terms of Strategic Policy 2: Placemaking and Policy
14 of NPF4. 
Strategic Policy 2 states that all applications for planning permission should meet
the qualities of successful places. Policy 14 of NPF4 reiterates the qualities of a
successful place. 
The proposed extension would be situated to the side of the existing dwellinghouse
and due to its corner plot location at the junction of High Road and Murray Avenue,
the development would be readily visible from public viewpoints within the area. It is
considered that the proposed external finishes would be appropriate and would
reflect the existing finishes of the main dwellinghouse. However, the scale of the
extension would be substantial. The ridge would be the same height as the main
house and the overall ridge length would increase from some 6m to some 17.9m.
The front roof plane would increase in area from some 26.2sqm to some  57.2sqm.
It is considered that the extension would be overbearing on the existing
dwellinghouse and would cause a visual imbalance to the semi-detached block. It is
therefore, not considered that the scale and mass of the proposed extension would
be acceptable. 
The proposed roof design would essentially change the semi-detached property into
a gable roofed property. Considering that the application property is part of a semi-
detached block featuring a hipped roof, the change to a gabled roof would cause a
significant visual impact on the semi-detached block and would result in an
unbalanced appearance. Residential properties along High Road predominantly

Page 19

23/00249/PP
feature hipped roofs. Although there are a small number of gable roofed properties
along High Road, these are detached properties. It is not considered the erection of
a gable roofed extension would be in-keeping with the appearance of the
surrounding area as it would break up the visual consistency of the hipped roof
characteristics of the neighbouring properties. It is therefore, considered that the
proposal would detract from the appearance of the area and would have a negative
visual impact on the amenity of the surrounding area. 
In terms of privacy, the development is not considered to result in any loss of privacy
or overlooking to any surrounding properties. The proposed openings would be
installed on the side elevation facing onto Murray Avenue. The distance to the
nearest property from this elevation is some 20m which is considered a far enough
distance from the development for no significant loss of privacy to occur from the
proposed development. 
As the proposal does not meet all the qualities of successful places it does not
accord with Strategic Policy 2: Placemaking of the LDP or Policy 14 of NPF4. The
proposed roof design would not be in-keeping with the characteristics of the
neighbouring properties and therefore, the proposal would have a detrimental impact
on the amenity of the area. It is therefore considered that the proposal should not be
supported, and it is recommended that planning permission be refused.
