REFUSAL OF PLANNING
PERMISSION 
Delegated Decision
Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997
No:  21/01810/FUL
Date:  24 February 2022
To:  Mr J Dewar
c/o Joe  Quinn MBA, BSc(Hons), MRICS

With reference to your application dated 10 December 2021 for planning permission
under the above Act for the following development:
Proposal: Demolition of Stables and Erection of Detached Dwellinghouse
Address: Adamswell Farm, Cumbernauld Road, Mollinsburn, Glasgow, North
Lanarkshire, G67 4HP,
North Lanarkshire Council, in exercise of its powers under the above Act, hereby
REFUSES planning permission for the reasons indicated in the paper apart.
The council’s reasoning for arriving at the above decision is as follows:-
Reasoned Justification
The proposal is contrary to the development plan in that it represents an inappropriate
development in the green belt. It lies outside any established urban envelope and there
are no material considerations that suggest that the development plan should not prevail.
Planning permission should therefore be refused.
Lorna Bowden
Planning And Place Manager

Paper apart
Reasons
1 The proposal is contrary to policy NBE 3A (Green Belt) and associated Supplementary
Planning Guidance Note SPG07 of the North Lanarkshire Local Plan as it constitutes
inappropriate isolated development in the Green Belt in that it does not fulfil the requirement for
any residential development to be in connection with agriculture, forestry, horticulture or other
appropriate rural uses.  Furthermore, no adequate justification, special circumstances or
material considerations have been sufficiently demonstrated to merit a departure from this
policy.
2 The proposal is contrary to policy DSP 4 (Quality of Development) the North
Lanarkshire Local Plan as it is of an inappropriate urban design and will result in a modern
dwellinghouse at odds with the countryside setting.
3 Supporting Information in the form of a bat survey for the demolition of the stables has
not been received.
4 If permitted, the proposal would set an undesirable precedent for other similar
unacceptable and inappropriate development proposals within the green belt.
Additional Notes to Applicant:
PLEASE READ THESE NOTES CAREFULLY.
These notes do not constitute legal advice, and are not intended to be a comprehensive guide
to laws which may apply to the development which you propose to carry out.
If you wish to obtain advice on which you will be entitled to rely, you must consult a solicitor or
other appropriate professional adviser, e.g. an architect or chartered surveyor.
1. A copy of the plan which accompanied your application is returned docketed
appropriately.
2. Rights of aggrieved applicants to seek review of the decision: If the applicant is
aggrieved by this decision taken under delegated powers by the planning authority they
may request that a review of the decision is undertaken by the council’s Local Review
Body.  Any request for a review (Notice of Review) must be made within three months
of the date of this decision and should be addressed to Committee Services, Civic
Centre, Windmillhill Street, Motherwell ML1 1AB. The appropriate Notice of Review form
is available online at www.eplanning.scot . In the event of a review, the Local Review
Body may uphold the original decision or may reverse or vary any part of it and may

deal with the application as if it had been made to them in the first instance, regardless
of the specific issues raised in the Notice of Review.
3. If permission to develop land is refused and the owner of the land claims that the land
has become incapable of reasonably beneficial use in its existing state and cannot be
rendered capable of reasonably beneficial use by the carrying out of any development
which has been or would be permitted, he may serve on the planning authority a
purchase notice of his interest in the land in accordance with the provisions of Sections
88 to 94 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997.
4. Where it appears to the planning authority that there has been a breach of planning
control, they may serve enforcement and stop notices requiring the breach to be
remedied.
