Further information may be required by one or a combination of procedures, such as: written submissions; the holding of one or more hearing sessions and/or inspecting the land which is the subject of the review case. Please indicate what procedure (or combination of procedures) you think is most appropriate for the handling of your review. You may tick more than one box if you wish the review to be conducted by a combination of procedures. 1. Further written submissions 2. One or more hearing sessions 3. Site inspection 4 Assessment of review documents only, with no further procedure If you have marked box 1 or 2, please explain here which of the matters (as set out in your statement below) you believe ought to be subject of that procedure, and why you consider further submissions or a hearing are necessary: Site inspection In the event that the Local Review Body decides to inspect the review site, in your opinion: 1. Can the site be viewed entirely from public land? Yes No 2 Is it possible for the site to be accessed safely, and without barriers to entry? If there are reasons why you think the Local Review Body would be unable to undertake an unaccompanied site inspection, please explain here: X X X X X X X If possible, I would prefer to be present should a site visit be arranged. Given that the exterior of the property has already been changed in accordance with planning permission granted in 1993, this would suggest that the installation of solar panels (black) would not be detrimental to the current character and appearance of the dwellinghouse or the appearance of the Scotlandwell Conservation area (see att).

Notice of Review Page 3 of 4 Statement You must state, in full, why you are seeking a review on your application. Your statement must set out all matters you consider require to be taken into account in determining your review. Note: you may not have a further opportunity to add to your statement of review at a later date. It is therefore essential that you submit with your notice of review, all necessary information and evidence that you rely on and wish the Local Review Body to consider as part of your review. If the Local Review Body issues a notice requesting further information from any other person or body, you will have a period of 14 days in which to comment on any additional matter which has been raised by that person or body. State here the reasons for your notice of review and all matters you wish to raise. If necessary, this can be continued or provided in full in a separate document. You may also submit additional documentation with this form. Have you raised any matters which were not before the appointed officer at the time the determination on your application was made? Yes No If yes, you should explain in the box below, why you are raising new material, why it was not raised with the appointed officer before your application was determined and why you consider it should now be considered in your review. X The issue of energy conservation and consumption and also evidence of other nearby properties with solal panels. We have lived in Scotlandwell for over 30 years and would not propose making any alterations to our property which would detract from its appearance or that of the conservation area. The conservation of energy was not submitted with the original application. However, as we are all aware, energy savings are a priority at local and national levels. For this reason we installed Air Source Heating in 2020 and had hoped to compliment this with Solar Panels and a battery. Our application for a Home Energy Scotland Gran and Loan has already been granted. The installation of Solar Panels on other properties only a few properties away, still within the conservation area and one of which I believe to be a Perth & Kinross property, indicates that installing Solar Panels on our property would not impact on preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of the designated conservation area (See att plan of conservation area and photographs of nearby properties). There are also 2 other , still within the conservation area and on Leslie Road, under construction, one of which is being advertised as having the option of solar panels. When we bought the property in 1993, it had 2 dormer windows on the main side but, otherwise was very similar to the old photograph with slates on the roof (see att). The other side of the property was in severe disrepair and had to be removed. In accordance with planning permission granted in 1993, grey concrete tiles were used and 3 velux windows were installed. Using all black solar panels, I believe, would not be detrimental to the appearance of the house while also allowing us to reduce our energy consumption and fuel bills. To my knowledge, there were no objections to our plans.
