Dr Michael Swift (Supports) Comment submitted date: Tue 05 Dec 2023 In general I support this application which will allow modernisation of the Castle Farm buildings complex. The proposed works appear proportionate and will not have an excessive impact on the surrounding environment whilst supporting the agricultural use of the surrounding land. It is positive that the applicant recognises the need to ensure public safety and continued access to the adjacent PKC core path which crosses the Castle Farm complex on existing tracks and access roads. Since this is the only fully off-road path connecting the villages of Methven and Almondbank please can the applicant be requested to ensure access to the core path is maintained throughout the proposed demolition and construction work since the core path route is included within the proposed boundary marked red on the applicant's demolition plan? If this is not possible due to safety concerns then please can an alternative route across the farm be provided and sign posted so that members of the public can continue to safely access the core path at all times? The proposed demolition and construction work will result in significant additional traffic on the access road to Castle Farm as well as increased usage of the access road by the farm tenant with heavy agricultural machinery which is currently stored away from the Castle Farm site. The photos provided by the applicant in their application mistakenly show the driveway access to the private dwelling Pepperwell rather than the current signposted Castle Farm access road which is also used by local neighbours including myself to access adjacent dwelling houses. This access road is in a very poor state of repair due to significant deterioration of the road surface and the proposed development at the Castle Farm site along with increased usage of the farm access road following completion of construction will result in further deterioration of the road surface. It would seem reasonable that a condition of approval of this development should be the upgrading/resurfacing of the farm access road (which also includes the publicly accessible core path route) to ensure the safety of members of the public, neighbouring property owners and local authority service providers (such asrefuse collectors) who frequently require access to this route.
