Argyll and Bute Council Development and Economic Growth Delegated or Committee Planning Application Report and Report of Handling as required by Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations 2013 relative to applications for Planning Permission or Planning Permission in Principle _________________________________________________________________________ Reference No: 21/02141/PP Planning Hierarchy: Local Application Applicant: Ardfin Estate Ltd Proposal: Erection of buildings to facilitate residential staff accommodation with associated access and parking arrangements Site Address: Land North East Of Coastguard Station Craighouse Isle Of Jura Argyll And Bute. ________________________________________________________________________ SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT NO. 2 1.0 INTRODUCTION Since the publication of the officer’s report additional late representations have been received from the following parties: Third Party Representation: Three late representations from third parties raising objection to the proposal as follows: Benjamin Thomson, The Croft Knockrome, Craighouse, Isle of Jura (22.10.2022) Katherine Thomson, The Croft Knockrome, Craighouse, Isle of Jura (22.10.2022) Joan Richardson, by e-mail (01.11.2022) The issues raised are summarised as follows: Concern is raised that the proposed development, both in terms of its scale and location, would have a very negative impact environmentally and socially on Jura as a whle and the village of Craighouse. Particular concern is expressed in relation to the well-being and quality of life of families living at Otter Brae. Officer Comment: The proposal has been assessed with due regard to the potential impact upon amenity of neighbouring properties, including new housing development. These matters are addressed in detail within the main Report of Handling. It is suggested that there are a number of alternative locations around Ardfin Golf Course and Jura House where this development could be built. It is further suggested that it would be more sensible to locate staff accommodation in closer proximity to the employment at Ardfin Estate than it being built in Craighouse and impact on the existing infrastructure of the village. Officer Comment: The Council is required to assess and determine the acceptability of the proposal as submitted by the applicant having due regard to the provisions of the Local
