SPR Planning Local Review Body From: Emma Howie Sent: 13 November 2025 17:21 To: SPR Planning Local Review Body Subject: Re: LRB-2025-29 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 evening, I response to your email regarding the planning application reference 25/00967/1PL, I would like the following to be taken into consideration. I would like to object to the proposed planning application for the following reasons : The plot in question is accessible only by the single lane road which gives access to almost all of the houses in Templehall. This road already has signs of wear and tear and if the the proposed building work was to go ahead then I believe a great deal more damage would be caused to this road, and therefore the majority of residents in this area would be negatively impacted by this. It has been brought to my attention that there has been ongoing issues with flooding due to the lack of mains drainage in the area. Having only moved to the area last year I was unaware of the extent of this. I would be concerned that if this project was approved that the issues with surface water would increase the likelihood of damp to my property due to it being lower than the plot in question. Furthermore, it is my opinion that this proposal would not be in keeping with the aesthetic of the area. The plot is very small as it is currently used for a double garage, it is not a space design for a residential property, so any building will look out of place. If you need any further information, please contact me via email. Kind regards, Emma

SPR Planning Local Review Body From: gail hunter Sent: 23 November 2025 16:47 To: SPR Planning Local Review Body Cc: gail hunter; mark Subject: Re: LRB-2025-29 Attachments: LRB-2025-29 - Images of Flooding and Limited Parking and Access.docx 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 Evening, Please find attached document showing examples of the frequent local flooding that occurs on the land adjacent to 4/5 Templehall and Archwell as highlighted in my previous objection. Also, image showing frequent use of 5 Templehall driveway and access (in this case 2 x white vehicles used by estate agents for plot in question) due to limited parking and access in this area due to single track lane. I would also wish to reiterate my objections based on the precedent you will set for applications for other small plots to be used as dwelling and the negative impact in this area. Images clearly show that this area has already rewilded and as the garage was in use until very recently, and is identical to the one at number 5 Templehall, could be easily used as such again. This build will cause a severe lack of privacy for the single story home already established and increase traffic. Perth and Kinross Council have already made a strong case themselves to refuse this application and I believe the refusal should be upheld. Regards, Gail Hunter

Page 1 of 1 NOTICE OF REVIEW APPEAL – TEMPLEHALL REF: LRB-2025-29 RESPONSE TO PUBLIC REPRESENTATIONS Please see below Bidwells response to the public representations received on Thursday the 27th of November in respect of the Notice of Review Appeal submitted regarding the refusal of application 25/00967/IPL. Flooding The images provided of the flooding in the area relate to the land to the north of the appeal site which is served by a separate access leading to a further dwelling located south of Templehall. The images provide evidence that the appeal site is not as risk of flooding, which coincides with the fact that flooding was not a reason for refusal. Access and Parking As evidenced by the indicative site plan, access and parking can be safely achieved within the proposed plot and would not have a detrimental impact on surrounding driveways / parking facilities. Precedent All development proposals are different and have to be assessed on their own merits against the relevant Development Plan and its policies, which evolve over time. Proposals are also required to be assessed against the relevant material planning considerations. It should be noted that setting a precedent is not considered to be a sound planning argument and planning decisions do not create legal precedents. Amenity As evidenced by the indicative site plan, any proposed dwelling could be sited to ensure there is no loss of amenity or detrimental impact on privacy to existing residents. Any future landscaping and planting associated with the proposal would further contribute to protecting residential amenity. Dwelling Size Currently in Scotland there is a housing emergency due to a shortfall of homes being built. A mixture of size and style of dwellings should be seen as critical to contributing to addressing this shortfall, whilst also adding vitality to the area. It is not considered unreasonable that not everyone would prefer to live in a larger dwelling, due to different needs and lifestyles and thus there is no reason why every dwelling should be of a similar size/footprint. There are also already smaller properties within the wider grouping, thus the proposed development would not be out of keeping with the character.
