1 SPR Planning Local Review Body From: Sent: 03 February 2025 16:56 To: SPR Planning Local Review Body Subject: Re: LRB-2025-02 CAUTION: This email originated from an external organisation. Do not follow guidance, click links, or open attachments unless you have verified the sender and know the content is safe. I am writing to express how unhappy and opposed I am with this eyesore of a fence erected by Perthshire Caravans It is very arrogant and single minded of Perthshire caravans just to erect this monstrosity of a fence without any consideration or regard to Perth and Kinross Council Planning and to just assume that they will get granted respective planning permission. As Perthshire Caravans are now clearly a Magnet for organised crime and also just disregarding and ignoring the normal planning application procedure of Perth and Kinross Council for their own selfish gain, should Perthshire Caravans not consider relocating their business to a High secure industrial location and leave the rural countryside alone, as it was here before they arrived. Have they tried other insurance companies? Perthshire caravans have had their stolen caravans returned. Relocating to a highly secure and insurable position where it is not mandatory to ignore planning consent for insurance purposes every time the get there valuable stock stolen and turning a rural area to an ugly highly secure looking compound just because of their high-value crime attracting business stock so now having to change the rural landscape to a high security Miliary style compound, without any regard or duty of care to Perth and Kinross Council planning and development committee. If Perthshire caravans are granted planning permission in retrospect for this ugly, out of place high security military type fence, and now having received multiple break-ins, also blatantly disregarded applying for planning permission hoping that they can get away with changing the whole look of the immediate environment and landscape. Will this now mean that if I or anyone local to Perthshire Caravans gets their property broken into, we can all just erect a high security military style fences without any regard to the local rural landscape or even Perth and Kinross Council planning committee? I suspect that Perthshire Caravans will next ask for planning permission to use this ground up to their new fence to expand their commercial business which will in turn attract more organised crime to this area. Perthshire Caravans have now even dug a deep ditch with a large mound of earth, reminiscent of the trenches in the second world war as a barrier, are they expecting armoured tanks? This is just selfish, reckless and unacceptable to this local community, Perthshire Caravans have been granted permission in the past to keep securing there premises every time they have had a break in, when will this ever stop.

As Perthshire caravans are now a high security Industrial landscape and now that Perthshire Caravans are attracting more organised crime, I shudder to think what sort of fencing they will just recklessly erect without any regard whatsoever, the next time Perthshire caravans get broken into? Maybe barbed wire, minefields and machine gun towers. If the Perth and Kinross local review body grants approval for this retrospect planning application for this unlawful, out of place, eyesore of a fence. This local residential and rural farming area will now be irreversibly transformed forever. Yours faithfully Alastair Grant

SPR Planning Local Review Body From: Neil Gray | Gray Planning <neil@grayplanning.co.uk> Sent: 12 February 2025 15:13 To: SPR Planning Local Review Body Subject: RE: LRB-2025-02 CAUTION: This email originated from an external organisation. Do not follow guidance, click links, or open attachments unless you have verified the sender and know the content is safe. Good aernoon Audrey Thank you for sending the wrien representaon of further comments by Mr Grant, about the above appeal. The appellants’ response is: “Perthshire Caravans is celebrang their 90th anniversary in 2026, we have been on this site since 1936. Therefore this has been a commercial site since then. Mr Grant writes to complain that the business should not be here, or should relocate, however the fact is the business was established nearly 90 years ago on this very site and has no plans to relocate. We employ 100 staff, most of which live within the surrounding area. The company is therefore a significant employer but also a known brand synonymous with Perthshire (in name and in locaon) – to move business or relocate as suggested would take such economic benefit from Perth and Kinross Council area. Mr Grant lives right next to where the break in occured, why did he not raise the alarm? Would be pleased if LRB could take these points into account when assessing the appeal.
