[Comment: This comment is noted. However, given that the land-use planning related issues raised are not considered to be unduly complex, it is considered that a hearing in this instance would not add value to the determination process. The decision on whether or not to hold a pre- determination hearing does however remain the prerogative of the PPSL Committee.] Other Neutral comment: The site is potentially an important trading site associated with the royal site of Dunadd. This is shown by the presence of an Irish type of bead dating to the 8/9th Centuries… an archaeological investigation should be carried out prior to work commencement. [Comment: This point is noted, however, the Argyll and Bute LDP map does not depict the site has any archaeological interest and West of Scotland Archaeology Service (WoSAS), the Council’s advisors on archaeological issues, has not requested a consultation on the application. Additionally, the development would be sited on an existing ruins footprint which suggests the area would have been subjected to a degree of disturbance. Support Comments: All raised comments addressed in the main body of the report. Objection Comments: All raised comments addressed in the main body of the report.
