SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT NO. 1
1.0 INTRODUCTION 
At their meeting on 28th September 2022 the PPSL Committee determined that they were
minded to granted listed building consent subject to referral of the application to Scottish
Ministers in light of formal objections from Historic Environment Scotland.
2.0 UPDATE
Scottish Ministers have advised the Council on 2nd November 2022 that they “consider that
this case raises issues related to the interpretation and application of national policy and
guidance on listed buildings that would benefit from further scrutiny by an appointed reporter
and Scottish Ministers”.
Scottish Ministers have accordingly issued a Direction under s.11 of the Planning (Listed
Buildings and Conservation Areas)(Scotland) Act 1997 requiring Argyll and Bute Council to
refer the above mentioned application for listed building consent to Scottish Ministers for their
determination. The determination of the application now lies outwith the control of the Council
as Planning Authority and the decision of Scottish Ministers will be final.
This Direction may be cited as The Planning (Listed Building Consent and Conservation Area
Consent) (Reference of Application) (Argyll and Bute Council) (Application for listed building
consent for demolition of 5 tenement blocks, Dalintober Housing Estate, Campbeltown, Argyll
and Bute) Direction 2022.
3.0 RECOMMENDATION 
It is recommended that Members note the points made above. An update confirming the
decision of Scottish Ministers on this matter will be provided to PPSL in due course.
