REPORT OF HANDLING 
DELEGATED REPORT 
Ref No 21/02290/IPL
Ward No P2- Strathmore
Due Determination Date 5th March 2022 
Draft Report Date 22nd March 2022
Report Issued by JF Date 22/03/2022 
PROPOSAL:  Erection of dwellinghouse (in principle)    
LOCATION:  Land 20 Metres North Of Powderwells Farm
New Alyth   
SUMMARY: 
This report recommends refusal of the application as the development is
considered to be contrary to the relevant provisions of the Development Plan
and there are no material considerations apparent which justify setting aside
the Development Plan. 
SITE VISIT: 
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 viewed by a variety of remote and electronic means, such as aerial
imagery and Streetview, in addition to photographs submitted by interested
parties. 
This information has meant that, in this case, it is possible and appropriate to
determine this application without a physical visit as it provides an acceptable
basis on which to consider the potential impacts of this proposed
development. 
SITE  PHOTOGRAPHS 
BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL

Page 24

2 
Powderwells Farm lies approximately 0.5km to the south east of New Alyth
and 1km to the south of Alyth.  To the south of the site there are existing
buildings comprising of a derelict traditional steading, ruinous stone walls and
a dwelling. To the east, north and west the site is bound by open farmland. 
The site consists of concrete hardstanding’s, foundations and substructures
associated with buildings formerly located on the site. 
SITE HISTORY

PRE-APPLICATION CONSULTATION 
Pre application Reference: 21/00457/PREAPP 
NATIONAL POLICY AND GUIDANCE 
The Scottish Government expresses its planning policies through The
National Planning Framework, the Scottish Planning Policy (SPP), Planning
Advice Notes (PAN), Creating Places, Designing Streets, National Roads
Development Guide and a series of Circulars.   
DEVELOPMENT PLAN 
The Development Plan for the area comprises the TAYplan Strategic
Development Plan 2016-2036 and the Perth and Kinross Local Development
Plan 2 (2019). 
TAYplan Strategic Development Plan 2016 – 2036 - Approved October
2017 
Whilst there are no specific policies or strategies directly relevant to this
proposal the overall vision of the TAYplan should be noted.  The vision states
“By 2036 the TAYplan area will be sustainable, more attractive, competitive
and vibrant without creating an unacceptable burden on our planet. The
quality of life will make it a place of first choice where more people choose to
live, work, study and visit, and where businesses choose to invest and create
jobs.” 
Perth and Kinross Local Development Plan 2 – Adopted November 2019 
The Local Development Plan 2 (LDP2) is the most recent statement of
Council policy and is augmented by Supplementary Guidance. 
The principal policies are: 
Policy 53B: Water Environment  and Drainage: Foul Drainage

APPRAISAL 
Sections 25 and 37 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997
require that planning decisions be made in accordance with the development
plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise.  The Development
Plan for the area comprises the approved TAYplan and the adopted LDP2. 
405

Page 26

The determining issues in this case are whether; the proposal complies with
development plan policy; or if there are any other material considerations
which justify a departure from policy. 
Policy Appraisal 
Policy 19 - Housing in the Countryside and the Supplementary Guidance
2020, notes that opportunities exist for housing in rural areas to support the
viability of communities, meet development needs in appropriate locations
while safeguarding the character of the countryside as well as ensuring that a
high standard of siting and design is achieved. The development of single
houses or groups of houses which fall within the six identified categories will
be supported. 
The Council will support proposals for the erection, or creation through
conversion, of single houses and groups of houses in the countryside which
fall into at least one of the following categories: 
1) Building Groups
2) Infill site
3) New houses in the countryside on defined categories of sites as set out in
section 3 of the Supplementary Guidance
4) Renovation or replacement of houses
5) Conversion or replacement of redundant non-domestic buildings
6) Development on rural brownfield land
Design and Layout 
The supporting statement and follow up discussions with the agent maintain
that the development of the site meets the definition of Derelict land which
was at one time occupied by buildings or structures but these have now been
removed.  The policy follows on to state OR land directly linked to former
buildings or structures which has been so damaged by a former use that it
cannot be left to naturalise or be reused for another purpose without first
being improved. 
The agent considers the emphasis on the OR in the definition splits the
consideration of the site for policy, the following section covers when
development will be permitted.  This section doesn’t distinguish and applies to
all brownfield land. 
From the photographs submitted it is accepted that the site does appear to
have been largely cleared although some areas of concrete foundations and
brick walls remain, and this would comply with the definition of rural brownfield
land. No evidence, however, has been submitted that the site is contaminated
to the extent that it must be remediated, rather that the site is untidy and
would detract from the amenity and setting of the steading site. The intention
of category 6 is to allow development on cleared sites which have been
significantly degraded by a former use or activity to the extent that the
development of a house is the only means by which it is viable to remediate
the site. It is appreciated that the applicant may prefer to develop the site but 
406

Page 27

5 
unless evidence can be provided that demonstrates the site is in such a poor
condition that it requires to be remediated e.g. it’s condition is causing risk to
human health or the wider environment, then the development of a house
would meet that requirement of category 6. 
Residential Amenity 
The site sits out with the building group and is not bound by any existing
dwellings.  A dwelling could be accommodated within the site providing
adequate amenity and privacy. 
Roads and Access 
It is considered that an access to the site could be accommodated, and
Transport Planning note standard conditions should permission have been
granted.   
Drainage and Flooding 
No flood risk and no drainage considerations for the in principle application. 
Developer Contributions 
Developer contributions conditions would have been required if the principle of
development had been accepted. 
Economic Impact 
The economic impact of the proposal is likely to be minimal and limited to the
construction phase of the development. 
VARIATION OF APPLICATION UNDER SECTION 32A 
This application was not varied prior to determination. 
PLANNING OBLIGATIONS AND LEGAL AGREEMENTS 
None required.   
DIRECTION BY SCOTTISH MINISTERS 
None applicable to this proposal. 
CONCLUSION AND REASONS FOR DECISION 
To conclude, the application must be determined in accordance with the
adopted Development Plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. 
In this respect, the proposal is considered to be contrary to the Development
Plan.  Account has been taken of the relevant material considerations and
407

Page 28

6 
none has been found that would justify overriding the adopted Development
Plan. 
Accordingly the proposal is refused on the grounds identified below. 
Reasons 
1 The proposal is contrary to Policy 19 Housing in the Countryside of the
Perth and Kinross Local Development Plan 2 (2019) and the associated
Housing in the Countryside Supplementary Guidance (March 2020) as it does
not meet any of the criteria within the categories: 1) Building Groups, 2) Infill
sites, 3) New houses in the open countryside, 4) Renovation or replacement
of houses, 5) Conversion or replacement of redundant non-domestic buildings
and 6) Development on rural brownfield land.  In particular the site although
being formally developed does not meet the definition of rural brownfield land
outlined in Category 6. 
Justification 
The proposal is not in accordance with the Development Plan and there are
no material reasons which justify departing from the Development Plan. 
Informatives 
N/A 
Procedural Notes 
Not Applicable.

Dear Sir/Madam
I refer to the above Notice of Review appeal which was considered at the Local Review Body (LRB) meeting on 16
August 2022.
In their discussion and consideration of this Notice of Review appeal, it was clear that the LRB had originally indicated
their willingness to support the appeal (on a majority decision) and allow planning permission in principle. However
the Legal Adviser to the LRB then suggested that it would be more prudent for the LRB to defer their consideration of
the appeal pending the submission of a contamination report that addressed the matters set out in the consultation
response from the council’s Regulatory Services Manager dated 4th February 2022. This was despite the fact that the
consultation response clearly indicated that the council’s standard condition EH41 (requiring a Phase 1 Desk Study)
could be applied to any consent i.e.
‘Prior to the commencement of works on site, an evaluation for the potential of the site to be affected by
contamination by a previous use should be undertaken and as a minimum, a Preliminary Risk Assessment (Phase 1
Desk Study) will be submitted for consideration by the Council as Planning Authority. If after the preliminary risk
assessment identifies the need for further assessment, an intrusive investigation should be undertaken to identify; 
I. the nature, extent and type(s) of contamination on the site 
II. measures to treat/remove contamination to ensure the site is fit for the use proposed 
III. measures to deal with contamination during construction works 
IV. condition of the site on completion of decontamination measures. 
Prior to the completion or bringing into use of any part of the development the agreed measures to decontaminate the
site shall be fully implemented as approved by the Council as Planning Authority. Validation that the scheme has
been fully implemented must also be submitted to the Council as Planning Authority.’
We also note that the advice and procedure that’s been followed by the LRB above is the complete opposite to the
procedure that the LRB took when they allowed an appeal for planning permission in principle to erect a house on a
site at Broomhill Farm Cottage, Forteviot (LRB 2021/49) at their meeting on 8 March 2022. In that case the decision
notice was issued on 10 June 2022 and it is clear that an almost identically worded planning condition to deal with any
contamination found on the site was included on the PPP.
We are therefore of the view that the LRB were perfectly within their powers to allow our clients appeal (as was
evidently their original intention) subject to the inclusion of the above standard condition to deal with any
contamination on the site, along with any other conditions that may have been considered necessary.
Notwithstanding the above and the additional cost to our clients, we now attach a copy of a Phase 1 Environmental
Report that’s been prepared by Allen Gordon in support of the appeal.
In the circumstances I would therefore be grateful if this case could be referred back to the earliest LRB for their
further consideration, in anticipation that the attached additional report will allow the LRB to support this appeal
subject to appropriate conditions.
I look forward to hearing from you on the above.
Many thanks

Proposed Residential Development at Allen Gordon LLP
Powderwells, Alyth, Perthshire
Phase 1 Environmental Report
603517 1 16.09.2022
1 Introduction
Allen Gordon LLP were appointed to provide a Phase 1 Environmental Report for a proposed new
residential development at Powderwells, Alyth, Perthshire.
The aim of this study was to assess the likely ground conditions within the subject area and to
evaluate the potential impact of ground conditions on the development. The objectives included:
• To establish the documented geological conditions in the vicinity of the site and the
surrounding area.
• To provide preliminary comment in relation to the potential presence of
contamination within the site.
• To provide a preliminary assessment of any potential mineral instability constraints
based on available documentary information.
• To comment upon any obvious restrictions to the development of the site from an
engineering perspective.
• To construct an initial conceptual site model, prepare a preliminary risk assessment
and scope intrusive site investigation works if required.
The conceptual model will describe the characteristics of the site and identify the possible
pollution linkages, a linkage being the relationship between a contaminant, a receptor capable of
being harmed and a pathway capable of exposing a receptor to harm. Examples of receptors
include human health and ecosystems.
The preliminary risk assessment will consider the probability of a receptor being exposed to a
contaminant and the severity of the consequences of such an event.
The risk assessment will then be used to determine the level of risk of the site being
contaminated. The report will then make recommendations which may involve further site
investigation and geochemical testing, a remediation statement or a statement that the site can
be considered to be uncontaminated.

3 Appraisal of Existing Information 
3.01 Information Sources 
The following sources of information have been used in the compilation of this report: 
 Envirocheck Historical Maps (Appendix C)
 SEPA Flood Map (Appendix D)
 Online Coal Authority Map (Appendix E)
 Online Indicative Atlas of Radon in Scotland (Appendix F)
 BGS Superficial Geology Map (Appendix G)
 BGS Bedrock Geology Map (Appendix H) 
3.02 Site History 
The history of the site was studied using historical maps of the area from 1865, 1867, 1898, 1900,
1901, 1902, 1927, 1938, 1959, 1973, 1977, 1995, 2006 and 2021.  The objective of this study was to
determine the former uses of the site and of the surrounding area (typically within 250m), and to
obtain any information which may identify potential constraints to its development.  The key
findings of our historical research are presented in Table 1. 
Powderwells Farm is shown from the earliest maps to the present day.  The maps also indicate
that the site was occupied by agricultural buildings from circa 1973 to 2007 
Historic site maps can be seen in Appendix C.

3.04 Mining Conditions
The online Coal Authority Interactive Map Viewer and database indicates that the site is not
located in an area where coal seams are likely to be present.
Therefore, no further coal mining investigation is required. An extract for the site is included in
Appendix E.
3.05 Quarrying
There is no evidence of the existence of quarries within a 500m radius of the site based on the
historical maps studied.
3.06 Flooding, Hydrology and Hydrogeological Conditions
Reference to the SEPA Indicative River and Coastal Flood Map shows that the site is not at risk
from fluvial (watercourse) or coastal flooding in a medium risk (0.5% annual exceedance
probability) event. The map shows that there is medium risk of pluvial (surface water) flooding in
three small, localised areas in the north of the site.
The BGS database does not hold any record of water abstractions within 1km of the site.
4 Environmental Setting
4.01 General
This report has been written in the context of a proposed residential development. Should any
other use be considered, a further review will be required to establish the baseline conditions.
4.02 Chemical Contamination
Based on a study of the history of the site, the presence of contamination on the site is possible.
See Section 5 for further discussion.
4.03 Ground Gas Emissions
Based on a study of the history of the site, the presence of ground gas emissions on the site is
possible. See Section 5 for further discussion.
4.04 Radon
With reference to the online Indicative Atlas of Radon in Scotland, the site lies within an area with
a maximum radon potential of less than 1%. Therefore, with reference to BR211 Radon: Guidance
on protective measures for new buildings (BRE, 2015), no additional radon protection measures
are required.
4.05 Mining & Mineral Instability
The publicly available information indicates that the site lies outwith areas known to be at risk
from mining or quarrying activities. Therefore, no further investigation of mineral instability is
required.

5 Initial Conceptual Site Model
5.01 Characteristics of The Site
Powderwells Farm appears on the historical maps from 1865 to the present day. The site is part
of the farm and from around 1973 to 2007 was occupied by agricultural buildings.
There is a possibility that naturally occurring substances may be present in the ground at levels
which could affect human health or influence building materials. Examples include sulphates and
arsenic.
There are no recorded active water abstractions on or near the site. The site and surrounding
land are likely to provide baseflow to the River Isla and the underlying bedrock aquifers.
5.02 Contaminant Sources
The following are sources of contamination which could be present given current and historical
use:-
• Fuel and oil spills from vehicles and small machinery;
• Naturally occurring elements and compounds;
• Naturally occurring ground gases;
• Fertiliser / pesticides;
• Debris from demolished buildings.
5.03 Receptors
The following receptors have been identified:
• The health of future residents, construction workers and maintenance workers
• The water environment including groundwater, surface water and artificial drainage.
• Building materials and services such as concrete and water supply pipes
5.04 Pathways
The principal pathways exposing human health to risk are considered to be direct contact with
contaminated soil or leachate (leading to absorption through the skin or ingestion) and the
inhalation of dust or gases.
There are considered to be two principal pathways exposing the water environment to risk. The
first of these is direct seepage to groundwater and the second is surface water runoff.
Building materials and services may be exposed to contaminants through direct contact with the
soil and groundwater.
5.05 Preliminary Conceptual Site Model
A Preliminary CSM has been developed for the site and is presented in Appendix B.

6 Preliminary Risk Assessment
The preliminary risk assessment will consider the probability of a receptor being exposed to a
contaminant and the severity of the consequences of such as event.
The probability shall be classified as follows:
Table 2 - Probability of risk being realised
Classification Definition
High Likelihood There is pollutant linkage and an event would appear very likely in the short-term and
almost inevitable in the long-term.
Likely There is pollutant linkage and all the elements are present and in the right place which
means that it is probable that an event will occur. Circumstances are such that an event is
not inevitable, but possible in the short-term and likely over the long-term.
Low likelihood There is pollutant linkage and circumstances are possible under which an event could occur.
However, it is by no means certain that even over a long period such an event would take
place, and is less likely in the shorter term.
Unlikely There is pollutant linkage but circumstances are such that it is improbable that an event
would occur even in the very long-term.
The severity of consequences shall be classified as follows:
Table 3 - Consequence of risk being realised
Classification Definition
Severe Human health: Highly elevated concentrations likely to result in significant harm to human
health (e.g. death, disease, serious injury, genetic mutation).
Water environment: Persistent and/or significant effect on water quality; major impact on
amenity value or major damage to agriculture or commerce.
Building materials and services: Catastrophic damage to buildings or property.
Medium Human health: Elevated concentrations which could result in significant harm to human
health (e.g. death, disease, serious injury, genetic mutation).
Water environment: Significant effect on water quality; reduction in amenity value or
significant damage to agriculture or commerce.
Building materials and services: Significant damage to buildings or property.
Mild Human health: Exposure to humans unlikely to lead to significant harm; exposure could
lead to slight short-term effects (e.g. mild skin rash).
Water environment: Minimal or short-lived effect on water quality; marginal effect on
amenity value, agriculture or commerce.
Building materials and services: Minor damage to buildings or property (e.g. surface spalling
of concrete).
Minor Human health: No measurable effect on humans.
Water environment: Insubstantial pollution incident with no observed effect on water
quality.
Building materials and services: Repairable effects of damage to buildings, property and
services.
The risk, taking into account probability and severity of consequence, will be classified as follows:
Table 4 – Assessed Risk
Severe Medium Mild Minor
High likelihood Very high risk High risk Moderate risk Low risk
Likely High risk Moderate risk Moderate/low risk Low risk
Low likelihood Moderate risk Moderate/low risk Low risk Very low risk
Unlikely Moderate/low risk Low risk Very low risk Very low risk
Where the classifications can be described as follows:

Table 5 - Risk classification
Risk classification
definitions
Definition
High risk Harm is likely to arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard at the site without
remediation action. Realisation of the risk is likely to present a substantial liability to the
site owner or occupiers. Investigation is required as a matter of urgency to clarify the risk.
Remediation works may be necessary in the short-term and are likely over the longer term.
Moderate risk It is possible that harm could arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard.
However, it is relatively unlikely that any such harm would be severe, and if any harm were
to occur it is more likely that the harm would be relatively mild. Further investigation work
is normally required to clarify the risk and to determine the potential liability to the site
owner or occupiers. Some remediation works may be required in the longer term.
Low risk It is possible that harm could arise to a designated receptor from an identified hazard, but it
is likely at worst that this harm if realised would normally be mild. It is unlikely that the site
owner or occupiers would face substantial liabilities from such a risk. Further, limited
investigative work to clarify the risk may be required. Any subsequent remediation works
are likely to be relatively limited.
Very low risk It is possible that harm could arise to a designated receptor, but it is likely at worst that this
harm if realised would normally be mild or minor.
No potential risk: there is any potential risk if no pollution linkage has been established.

The above table demonstrates that the assessed risk to receptors in general is classified as
moderate.

7 Conclusion 
Overall, the risk from contamination has been assessed as moderate.  Therefore, it recommended
that geochemical testing be carried out to test for any contamination to the site. Intrusive
investigation will be required in due course for foundation design and to check from ground
water. Geochemical testing will also be required in due course for UKWIR.

Source map scale - 1:10,560
The historical maps shown were reproduced from
maps predominantly held
at the scale adopted for England, W
ales and Scotland in the 1840`s. In 1854
the 1:2,500 scale was adopted for mapping urban areas; these maps were
used to update the 1:10,560 maps. The published date given therefore is
often some years later than the surveyed date. Before 1938, all OS
maps
were based on the Cassini Projection, with independent surveys of a single
county or group of counties, giving rise to significant inaccuracies in outlying
areas. In the late 1940`s, a Provisional Edition was produced, which updated
the 1:10,560 mapping from
a number of sources. The maps appear
unfinished - with all military camps and other strategic sites removed. These
maps were initially overprinted with the National Grid. In 1970, the first
1:10,000 maps were produced using the Transverse Mercator Projection. The
revision process continued until recently, with new

Source map scale - 1:10,560
The historical maps shown were reproduced from
maps predominantly held
at the scale adopted for England, W
ales and Scotland in the 1840`s. In 1854
the 1:2,500 scale was adopted for mapping urban areas; these maps were
used to update the 1:10,560 maps. The published date given therefore is
often some years later than the surveyed date. Before 1938, all OS
maps
were based on the Cassini Projection, with independent surveys of a single
county or group of counties, giving rise to significant inaccuracies in outlying
areas. In the late 1940`s, a Provisional Edition was produced, which updated
the 1:10,560 mapping from
a number of sources. The maps appear
unfinished - with all military camps and other strategic sites removed. These
maps were initially overprinted with the National Grid. In 1970, the first
1:10,000 maps were produced using the Transverse Mercator Projection. The
revision process continued until recently, with new
editions appearing every

OS's VectorMap Local, a
simple vector dataset at a nominal scale of 1:10,000, covering the whole of
Great Britain, that has been designed for creating graphical mapping. OS
VectorMap Local is derived from
large-scale information surveyed at 1:1250
scale (covering major towns and cities),1:2500 scale (smaller towns, villages
and developed rural areas), and 1:10 000 scale (mountain, moorland and

'Large Scale National Grid Data' superseded SIM
cards (Ordnance Survey's
'Survey of Information on Microfilm') in 1992, and continued to be produced
until 1999. These maps were the fore-runners of digital mapping and so
provide detailed information on houses and roads, but tend to show
less
topographic features such as vegetation. These maps were produced at both
1:2,500 and 1:1,250 scales.
