Thereafter, resolved by unanimous decision that: (ii) the review application for the erection of 2 dwellinghouses and associated works, land 30 metres north west of 65 Feus, Auchterarder, be refused for the following reasons: 1. The proposal for a semi-detached development of two 2- storey dwellinghouses will have a detrimental effect on existing residential amenity in terms of an overbearing physical impact, increased overlooking and from vehicle movement along a narrow access track. The proposal is inconsistent with the distinctive quality of successful places and contrary to National Planning Framework 4 Policy 14 Design, Quality and Place and Local Development Plan 2 Policy 1A and 1B(c) Placemaking and related Placemaking Supplementary Guidance (2020). 2. The proposal is for a poorly designed semi-detached development of two 2-storey 3- bedroom dwellinghouses and the design and layout does not respect the character and amenity of the place. The proposal is inconsistent with the distinctive quality of successful places and contrary to National Planning Framework 4 Policy 14 Design, Quality and Place and Local Development Plan 2 Policy 1A and 1B(c) Placemaking and related Placemaking Supplementary Guidance (2020). Justification The proposal is not in accordance with the Development Plan and there are no material reasons which justify departing from the Development Plan. (ii) LRB-2026-09 25/01404/FLL - Erection of fences and gates (in retrospect) Flats 1 and 2 Old Rectory, 61 Main Street and 63A Main Street, Invergowrie, Dundee, DD2 5BA - Ms D Clarke Members considered a Notice of Review seeking a review of the decision by the Appointed Officer to refuse the erection of fences and gates (in retrospect), Flats 1 and 2 Old Rectory, 61 Main Street and 63A Main Street, Invergowrie, Dundee, DD2 5BA. 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 erection of fences and gates (in retrospect), Flats 1 and 2 Old Rectory, 61 Main Street and 63A Main Street, Invergowrie, Dundee, DD2 5BA, be refused for the following reasons: 1. The fences and gates, by virtue of their design, height, length and siting, are visual clutter and have resulted in the loss of a large open garden area to the south of the Old Rectory B listed building. As such, the fences and gates are detrimental to the character and setting of that category B listed building. Approval is therefore contrary to Section 59 of Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997, which requires planning authorities to have special regard to the desirability of preserving the listed building and its setting; contrary to Policy 7(c): Historic Assets and Places (Listed Buildings) of National Planning Framework 4; and contrary to Policy 27A: Listed Buildings of the Perth and Kinross Local Development Plan 2. 2. The fences and gates, by virtue of their design, height, length and siting, have a detrimental impact on the character and environmental quality of the application property and the surrounding area. Approval is therefore contrary to Policy 16(g)(i): Quality Homes of National Planning Framework 4; and contrary to Policies 1A and 1B(c): Placemaking of the Perth and Kinross Local Development Plan 2. Justification The proposal is not in accordance with the Development Plan and there are no material reasons which justify departing from the Development Plan.
