Thereafter, resolved by majority decision that: (ii) the review application for the erection of a dwellinghouse, land 40 metres east of Keepers Cottage, Pitilie, Aberfeldy, PH15 2EN, should be granted subject to the imposition of suitable relevant terms, conditions and informatives. (There was a short recess taken during consideration of justification to allow members to check with planning colleagues that the application site fell within the definition of a remote rural area. During the recess, the planning colleagues confirmed that the application site did fall within the definition of a remote rural area.) Justification The application site is considered to be an extension to the existing building group and therefore accords with the Development Plan. It is felt that it is supported by Policy 17c)iii. (Rural Homes) of National Planning Framework 4, as it is deemed to be a development proposal for a new home in a remote rural area which is suitable in terms of location, access and environmental impact. Note The minority opinion of Councillor B Brawn was that the application site was too distant from the other buildings in the area to form part of the building group. (ii) LRB-2026-06 25/01402/FLL - Installation of 2 pole-mounted tracking radars, Taymouth Castle Golf Club, Kenmore, Aberfeldy, PH15 2NT - River Tay Development Ltd Members considered a Notice of Review seeking a review of the decision by the Appointed Officer to refuse the installation of 2 pole- mounted tracking radars, Taymouth Castle Golf Club, Kenmore, Aberfeldy, PH15 2NT. The Planning Adviser displayed photographs of the site and described the proposal, and thereafter summarised the Appointed Officer’s Report of Handling and the grounds set out in the Notice of Review. Decision: Resolved by unanimous decision that: (i) having regard to the material before the Local Review Body and the comments from the Planning Adviser, sufficient information was before the Local Review Body to determine the matter without further procedure. Thereafter, resolved by unanimous decision that: (ii) the review application for the installation of 2 pole-mounted tracking radars, Taymouth Castle Golf Club, Kenmore, Aberfeldy, PH15 2NT, should be granted subject to the imposition of suitable relevant terms, conditions and informatives.

Justification A small departure from Policy is justified because the impact will be minimal from the poles and it is not considered that they will detract from the overall views afforded by the landscape. Viewing the overall development as a whole indicates that there is an overarching benefit to the wider area of the proposal, and the positive impact is deemed to outweigh the minimal visual impact on the landscape. (iii) LRB-2026-07 25/00996/IPL - Erection of a dwellinghouse (in principle), land 45 metres west of Lunanbrae, Wester Essendy, Blairgowrie, PH10 6RA - Mr J McPherson Members considered a Notice of Review seeking a review of the decision by the Appointed Officer to refuse the erection of a dwellinghouse (in principle), land 45 metres west of Lunanbrae, Wester Essendy, Blairgowrie, PH10 6RA. The Planning Adviser displayed photographs of the site and described the proposal, and thereafter summarised the Appointed Officer’s Report of Handling and the grounds set out in the Notice of Review. Decision: Resolved by unanimous decision that: (i) having regard to the material before the Local Review Body and the comments from the Planning Adviser, insufficient information was before the Local Review Body to determine the matter without further procedure. (ii) the applicant be requested to provide a site plan which shows the visibility splays of the proposed junction. (iii) the Roads Authority be provided with the requested site plan to allow them to determine whether the proposed junction could support the development. (iv) following receipt of all information and responses, the application be brought back to a future meeting of the Local Review Body.
