THE PLANNING (LISTED BUILDINGS AND CONSERVATION AREAS) (NOTIFICATION OF APPLICATIONS) DIRECTION 2015 DEMOLITION OF FIVE TENEMENT BLOCKS COMPROMISING BLOCK A (19-9E JOHN STREET), BLOCK B (21-33 JOHN STREET), BLOCK C (1-5 DALINTOBER), BLOCK D (7-15 DALINTOBER) BLOCK E (17 -21 DALINTOBER AND 24-26 HIGH STREET); JOHN STREET, PRINCE'S STREET AND HIGH STREET, CAMPBELTOWN, ARGYLL AND BUTE I refer to your Council’s letter and enclosures of 5 October 2022, notifying the above application to Scottish Ministers, following consideration by the Council which was minded to grant listed building consent against the advice of Historic Environment Scotland. Having considered the proposal, Ministers have decided, in terms of Section 11 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997, to require the application to be referred to them for determination. Accordingly, a Direction, given in terms of Section 11 is enclosed at Annex A. Ministers have given this Direction as 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. The planning authority are requested to serve notice on the applicant for listed building consent of the terms of this Direction, the reasons for issuing it, that the application has been referred to Ministers and that the decision of Ministers will be final. The application should now be submitted to Planning and Environmental Appeals Division (DPEA) in Falkirk for examination by a reporter of all the evidence submitted. I would be grateful if you prepare all of the application documentation and send it to dpea@gov.scot for the attention of David Henderson, Head of Performance and Administration.
