1.0 Introduction
On behalf of the applicant, we request that the Council Local Review Body, review the decision to
refuse the detailed application (21/01583/FLL) which proposed alterations and extension to Clover
Cottage and erection of new double garage, Kinfauns Holdings, West Kinfauns, Perth.  The
application was refused on the 17th February 2022.
The detailed Planning Application proposed the alterations and extension to the existing property to
create 2 infill extensions at ground floor level and a new first floor to provide additional bedroom
and living accommodation.  A new double garage and access roadway were also proposed to the East
of the existing house.  The proposed buildings will be finished with wet dash render walls and slate
roofs to reflect the existing materials that were utilised.  
The LRB appeal is intended to set out the facts of the case and make reference to and analyse the
relevant planning policy, allowing the LRB to make a balanced and informed decision as to whether
the Planning Officers subjective decision to refuse the detailed application should be overturned or
not.  
The original planning drawings which accompanied the planning application have been appended to
the LRB Appeal Statement and should be read and viewed in conjunction with the LRB Appeal
Statement.
The following drawings were submitted as part of the planning application:
™ 2952 S-01  Survey Plans and Elevations
™ 2952 PL-01  Proposed Plans and Elevations

2.0 Site Description
Clover Cottage is located in an area of ground between the A85 to the North, M90/Friarton Bridge to
the East and the A85 to the South. The site is accessed from the A85 via the former roadway to
Walnut Grove that was altered during the construction of the Friarton Bridge. The proposed site is
bound on 3 sides by roadways with a small field to the South of the property. The roadway to the
North of Clover cottage is elevated above the cottage and is screen by trees and vegetation. To the
East, Clover Cottage is bound by the banking to the edge of the slip road from the Friarton Bridge
which again is heavily screened by trees and elevated above the existing property. There is a
dwelling house to the South of Clover Cottage which is in the ownership. Due to the elevated
roadways around the perimeter of the site, Clover Cottage can only be viewed from a very small
number of vantage points
Image 1 View North from the Friarton Bridge. The shed adjacent to Clover Cottage can be
viewed but due to the trees and signage Clover Cottage is not visible. The trees and vegetation
continue as shown along the full length of the slip road screening the property from view.
Image 2 View East and junction of A85 and access roadway to Clover Cottage. Clover Cottage roof
is visible but demonstrates that the house is located below the road level on either side and is heavily
screen. The site is also dominated by the heavily wooded Kinnoull hill that is located to the rear of
the property.

also note that the A85 roadway into Perth is also heavy screened (see image 1) with vegetation and
this further screens the house from view.

3.0 Existing Dwelling
The existing property is a single storey dwelling with an H shaped plan located within a triangular plot
of land as shown on Image No.5 above.  The dwelling is rendered externally with a white paint finish,
natural slate roof with hipped gables and tiled ridge, white PVC-u windows and doors. The existing
accommodation comprises 4 bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen dining living area, utility and rear toilet. 
One of the bedrooms is currently utilised as an office for the  business with the other utilised
as storage, therefore resulting in the house at present being a 2 bedroom property.

4.0 Proposed Development
The proposal that was submitted as part of Planning application (21/01583/FLL) allowed for
alterations and extension to Clover Cottage. The intention was to infill the existing H shape plan at
ground floor level by creating a new entrance area to the South and a garden room to the North.
These infills at ground floor level only increase the footprint of the property by 53sqm.
A new first floor will be formed over the ground floor of the property to create additional bedroom
accommodation with en-suite bathrooms, sitting area and also wardrobe accommodation. The first
floor will accommodate 4 bedrooms with en-suites, storage area, small sitting area to the South and
large sitting area to the North.
The eaves height of the existing property is 3.030m and this will be raised by 1.948m. The intention
is that by raising the roof by this amount that there will be an internal coomb height around the
perimeter of the first floor off 1.8m forming a coomb which will then rise to 2.4m standard floor to
ceiling height for a dwelling house. The roof will be hipped on all sides to reflect the existing
property. Dormer windows have been installed into the first floor bedrooms and en-suite
bathrooms. The dormer windows have been located over the existing openings where possible. The
ridge height of the existing house is 5.928m and this will increase to 8.055m, and increase in height
of 2.1m. The overall massing of the house was reduced by creating a flat roof over the central area
of the house. The overall increase to the footprint of the house and increase in height will not have
detrimental effect to the surroundings or when viewed from the adjacent roadways due to the
elevated nature of the surroundings. Solar panels have been located on the Southern elevation of
the property to make the building more energy efficient. A cupula has been located on the roof to
provide light into the new stairwell.
The exterior of the existing house will be externally insulated to improve the energy efficiency of the
property with a white wet dash render finish, the roof finish will be slate to match the existing
property. The windows will be finished in white PVC-u to match the existing
A glazed entrance will be formed on the Southern elevation of the property to create some
prominence as you enter the building. A glazed screen has also been created on the North elevation
to provide views to Kinnoull Hill and beyond.
A double garage and driveway will also be located to the East of the site. The garage will be
traditional in nature with a render finish and slate roof to match the proposed dwelling house.
The house is located within a triangle section of ground which is level and finished in lawn. The area
of the ground to the East of the site is also in the ownership.

4.1 S 3D Visualisations and Comparison
A series of 3D visualisation have been developed to provide a clear understanding of the proposed
works in relation to the existing property and to demonstrate that the proposed development will
not have a detrimental impact on the area or the surroundings.

increase the overall massing and will still be screened by the surrounding landscaping which will be
maintained.
5.0 Site History
Utility area to the East of the existing cottage.  No other records off works are noted for the property.  
6.0  Statutory Consultations
As part of the planning process a number of parties were consulted.  We would note that no
objections were received from the following,
1. Neighbouring Properties - No neighbour objections were received.
2. Strategy & Policy { Development Contributions - I have no comments to make on this
proposal in terms of the Developer Contributions and Affordable Housing Supplementary
Guidance.
3. HE/Flooding - We have reviewed this application and the proposed development is out
with the functional floodplain as shown on the SEPA Flood Map. We have no objection to
this application. 
4. Transport Planning - The applicant is proposing to make alteration to an existing four
bedroomed dwellinghouse to a six bedroomed property.  Insofar as the Roads matters
are concerned, I have no objections to this proposal.

5. Regulatory Service Manager - During the construction of the Friarton Bridge in the
d the application site was used for sand and gravel abstraction and
landfill site. The nature and extent of the materials disposed of in the area are unknown
as this was largely unregulated at that time. There is therefore the potential for the
proposed development site to be impacted by contamination associated with this former
land use. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to satisfy themselves that the
ground conditions are suitable for the development for which planning consent has been
granted. Should any contamination be found during the approved works, works should
cease and the Land Quality team should be contacted.
7.0 Overview and the Decision to Refuse Consent
7.1 Reason for refusal of Application
The decision to refuse the planning application was made by the Planning Officer under delegated
powers. There were three reasons for refusing the planning consent. The reason for refusal are set
out below:
1. Approval would be contrary to Policy 43 of the Perth and Kinross Local Development Plan 2
(2019) as the proposed development would have a significantly detrimental impact on the
character and landscape setting of the Green Belt in which the site is located. The proposals
are contrary to policy due to their unsuitably large scale, excessive form, inappropriate design
and absence of any mitigating factors.
2. The proposed development is contrary to Placemaking policies 1A and 1B (subcategories b, c
and d) of the Perth & Kinross Local Development Plan 2 (2019), as it will not contribute
positively to the quality of the surrounding environment, nor will it respect the character or
amenity of the place, in terms of design, height, scale, massing and relationship to the
existing building or wider local architectural vernacular.
3. Approval would be contrary to Perth & Kinross Council's Placemaking Guide, March 2020
which seeks to discourage particularly large, dominant, unsuitable or inappropriately
designed or located developments that are not in keeping with the existing built form,
landscape character or established amenity levels. 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
7.2 Overview of the Decision and Report of Handling
We have noted the three reasons for refusing the planning consent as follows,
For the Local Review Body in considering the application there are three key questions
1. Will the development have significantly detrimental impact on the character and
landscape setting of the Green Belt in which the site is located. Policy 43
306

Page 23

15 | P a g e
2952 B LRB Appeal B Clover Cottage B March 2022
2. Will the development have a negative effect on the surrounding environment. Policy 1A
and 1B
3. Will the development be dominant and unsuitable.  Place Making Policy.
7.3 S Response Policy 43
Policy 43 states that all proposals for new building or extensions to existing building must be of a
suitable scale and form, located and designed in such a way as not to detract from the character and
landscape setting of the Green Belt.  The full criteria is detailed below
(a) it can be demonstrated that the development either supports an established use, or
develops a new business within the Green Belt which has a direct relationship to the land; or
(b) it can be demonstrated that the development is essential for agriculture, horticulture
(including allotments) or forestry operations; or 
(c) it constitutes woodlands or forestry, including community woodlands; or 
countryside around Perth, including recreational, educational and outdoor sports; or 
(e) it complies with criteria (4) or (5) of the Policy 19: Housing in the Countryside and
associated Supplementary Guidance, and a positive benefit to the Green Belt can be
demonstrated; or 
(f) it constitutes essential infrastructure such as roads and other transport infrastructure,
masts and telecom equipment, renewable energy developments, or new cemetery
provision.  The primary consideration will be whether the infrastructure could instead be
located on an alternative site which is outwith the Green Belt and a statement may be
required identifying the search area and the site options assessed, the details of the existing
or proposed activity to which the infrastructure relates, and the reasons as to why a green
belt location is essential. 
For all proposals development must be appropriate to the overall objectives of the Green
Belt to protect and enhance the character, landscape setting and identity of settlements. All
proposals for new buildings or extensions to existing buildings must be of a suitable scale
and form, located and designed in such a way so as not to detract from the character and
landscape setting of the Green Belt. 
Appropriate measures may be required to mitigate any adverse impact on the character,
setting and identity of the locality. Note: Within the Green Belt the application of Policy 19:
307

Page 24

16 | P a g e
2952 B LRB Appeal B Clover Cottage B March 2022
Housing in the Countryside is limited to proven economic need, conversion or replacement
buildings.
The Planning Officer have confirmed that the application does not conform with any of the
above Policy 43 Criteria. The proposal should be assessed by the Criteria (4) or (5) of Policy
19: Housing in the Countryside and associated Supplementray Guidance, and have a positive
benefit to the Green Belt. We would like to note the following in regard to the above
comments
It is noted within the handling report that the proposals will create a two and a half storey
house. This statement is factually incorrect. The proposal will add a first floor to the
property, however the property will only be increasing in height at the eaves by 1.948m and
at the ridge by 2.132m. The internal ceiling height at the coomb will be 1.8m making the
house a 1 ¾ storey house and not a 2 ½ strorey house.
The overall height of the existing house is 5.670m from ground level to ridge level. The
proposed extension will increase the overall height of the dwelling to 7.995m, this is an
increase of 2.325m less than the standard floor to ceiling height in a modern house. The
cupula over the new stairwell will be set at 8.775m. The increase in height and massing has
also been demonstrated in Section 4.1 of this report.
As has been demonstrated above Clover Cottage is surround on 3 sides by roadways that are
considerably elevated above the existing cottage, and the increase in ridge height will not
result in the house dominating the surrounding landscape, and from most vantage points
around the property it is unlikely that with the additional height the property will even be
visible.
the proposed development would have a significantly
detrimental impact on the character and landscape setting of the Green Belt in which the site
is located. The proposals are contrary to policy due to their unsuitably large scale, excessive
form, inappropriate design and absence of any mitigating factors.
We would like to demonstrate other applications which have recently been approved in the
surrounding area, which clearly demonstrate that other developments have been approved that are
more dominant and larger in scale than the proposed works to Clover Cottage. A dwelling was
approved and constructed on the South side of the Friarton Bridge at Easter Tersappie (See Image
18). The house below was approved under application 15/00382/FLL. The eaves height of the house
are 5.5m with a ridge height of 8.5m The ridge height of this property is clearly higher than the
proposal at Clover Cottage.

Image 18 - The house above has recently been constructed to the South side of the Friarton Bridge,
the site is highly visible and has no landscaping back drop.  The house is 2 stories in height and has a
pitched roof with a central flat section between the 2 pitch roofs.  
Image 19  The above house also features on the front cover of the Local Development Plan and is
clearly visible to the LHS of the Friarton Bridge.
Planning approval has also been granted from 15 new dwellings to the East of the site at Walnut
Grove.  The houses were refused under application 15/00382/FLL but overturned at Planning Appeal
by the Scottish Government.  Image 20 below provides an overall image of the proposed new
development

Image 22 Demonstrating the range of properties that were approved and deemed to be acceptable
The 15No. new houses have ridge heights in the region of 9m in height . Many of the houses are full
2 storey houses and the overall development will have more of an impact on the surrounding
landscape than the minor works that are proposed to Clover Cottage. Within the Appeal Report for
the 15 houses at Walnut Grove it was noted that
Landscape Supplementary Guidance. This document forms part of the LDP. LDP Policy 39:
Landscape states that development in local landscape areas should only be permitted where
it will not have a significant adverse impact on their special characteristics or qualities. The
supplementary guidance states that the Sidlaw Hills Local Landscape Area has a number of
special qualities. These include the observation that Kinnoull Hill, to the north of the site, and
Moncreiffe Hill, to the south of the site, are prominent viewpoints. The special qualities listed
also include the drama of the cliffs, woodland and tower at Kinnoull Hill, high above the
motorway, and the cliffs extending beyond, towards Dundee.
The proposed development would be visible in views towards the River Tay from Kinnoull Hill
but, seen in the context of the existing housing, the large business building to the west and
the main road network, would not draw the eye as being out of place in terms of scale or
design. Similarly, the proposed development would be visible from Moncreiffe Hill but, in
these long views, would be seen in the immediate context of the existing houses to the north
and east and the employment site to the west.
I find that the proposed development would not have a significant adverse impact on the
special character or qualities of the Sidlaw Hills Local Landscape Area and, therefore, would
comply with Policy 39.

2952 B LRB Appeal B Clover Cottage B March 2022
Clover Cottage as demonstrated above is located in a less prominant location than the site at Walnut
Grove. The existing dwelling already exists with only the overall massing being altered. On the basis
that a development of 15 houses is deemed not to have a determinantal impact from either Kinnoull
Hill or Moncrieff Hill, we would argue that the works to Clover Cottage are minimal in comparison
and will clearly have minimal impact to the surrounding area.
Image 23 below provides an example of one of the proposed houses at Walnut Grove. The proposed
houses have a mix off elements hipped roof, dormer windows and a mixture of materials. These are
all features that have been deemed to be unacceptable at Clover Cottage but acceptable within the
development of 15 houses at Walnut Grove.
Image 23 Proposed new house design at Walnut Grove
7.4 S Response to Policy 1A and 1B
We noted within the handling report Placemaking policies 1A & 1B and the supplementary
placemaking guidance, aim to secure new development that is harmonious; being respectful,
considerate and contributing positively to its surroundings. The works proposed are not compatible in
terms of design or scale. The extent of the alterations intended are more akin to that of a new house,
being radical in terms of change and dominant in scale. The alterations will wholly engulf and erode
the simple form and character of the existing rural cottage which is reflective of the past small
holding architecture. The proposals are accordingly incompatible with placemaking considerations.
We would note that the house was already e
altered. The dwelling may have formed part of the range of holdings building in the past but was
separate from the remainder of the holdings at Walnut Grove when the Friarton Bridge was
developed. The house now very much sits within it own landscape framework with a suburban style
1970 bungalow constructed to the South of the property.
We also note within the handline report that In line with established practices, the need to
visit the application site has been carefully considered by the case officer. The application
site and its context have been visited in the past, and can be viewed from the nearby public
roads, also by a variety of remote and electronic means, such as aerial imagery and
Streetview, in addition to the photographs submitted by the agents.

This information has meant that, in this case, it is possible and appropriate to determine this
application without a further physical visit as it provides an acceptable basis on which to
consider the potential impacts of this proposed development.
We feel it would be beneficial for the members of the Review Committee to carry a site visit to
understand the topography around the property as it is currently very concealed and any alteration
would not have a determinantal effect on the surrounding.
Policy 1A States - Development must contribute positively to the quality of the surrounding
built and natural environment. All development should be planned and designed with
reference to climate change, mitigation and adaptation. The design, density and siting of
development should respect the character and amenity of the place, and should create and
improve links within and, where practical, beyond the site. Proposals should also incorporate
new landscape and planting works appropriate to the local context and the scale and nature
of the development.
As noted above as part of the works the intention is to improved the energy performance of the
existing property. The existing cottage is also heavily landscaped on three sides by the trunk roads
and associated landscaping. This existing landscape will provide a dominant back drop to the
proposed house and will also protect the site from the prevailing wind. Even with the increase in
height we feel this will not have a detrimental impact on the environment. As note above the
features on the proposal are not dissimilar to the 15 houses approved for Walnut Grove.
The house below was also designed and built within Walnut Grove. The house shown in the image
below was approved under application 08/00685/FLL
Image 24 Proposed new house erected at Walnut Grove with glazed gable facing North and also
with dormer windows and balconies. This house sits in a prominate position in Walnut Grove and
can be viewed from the main A90. The features are similar to the elements on the Clover Cottage.

2952 B LRB Appeal B Clover Cottage B March 2022
7.5 S Response to Place Making Guide
The report of handling noted Approval would be contrary to Perth & Kinross Council's
Placemaking Guide, March 2020 which seeks to discourage particularly large, dominant,
unsuitable or inappropriately designed or located developments that are not in keeping with
the existing built form, landscape character or established amenity levels. 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
We have demonstrated above that there are a number of developments that have been approved by
either the Planning Department or via Planning Appeal that will be more visible than the proposed
works at Clover Cottage.  We would note that the final appearance of the works is subjective in terms
of design and do not take into account the secluded nature of the house and the minimal impact the
design will have on the surrounding area due to the elevated and heavily landscape areas around the
perimeter of the site.  
The handling report notes that The mix of window styles and sizes, combined with intrusive wallhead
dormers, external chimney and two, storey expansive central pitched roofed elements are disjointed
features which add to the visual clutter and cumulative impact of the scheme. The separate garage
unit is also large in scale and devoid of any architectural detailing which would relate it to the original
house.
We have demonstrated above that similar houses in the area have been approved with similar
features and are larger in height and scale to the works proposed at Clover Cottage.

2952 B LRB Appeal B Clover Cottage B March 2022
8.0 Summary
We have tried to identify within the above report that the decisions that have been taken have not
been consistent and that large and more dominant applications have been approved which are more
visible and have a greater impact on the surrounding landscape than the proposal put forward as
part of the Clover Cottage design.
We would highlight the errors that the proposed alterations are noted as creating a 2 ½ strorey
house this is incorrect as the new house is in effect a storey and 1 ¾ dwelling, with the ridge height
being increase by 2.4m which is insignificant in relation to the surround topography, which is
elevated above the property.
We note that the Planning Officer has not carried out a site inspection , we would question the
validity of a decision to refuse a planning application based on reasons without visiting the site.  We
feel that a site visit is important to understand the context of the house in relation to the
surrounding properties, landscape and topography.
The scale of the existing landscaping around the perimeter of the site also has to be considered. 
Views of the site are very limited as the house is set below the adjoining roadways and the dominant
landscape backdrop will not be effected by the proposed alterations.
We hope that the above provides a robust response and will allow the decision to refuse the
planning application to be overturned
