Heading: Revenue and Capital Budget Monitoring 2024/25 at 8 November 2024
___________________________________________________________________
1. Summary
1.1 At the close of reporting Period 8 on 8 November 2024, the projected
revenue outturn at 31 March 2025 for those services reporting to the
Planning and Climate Change Policy Board was a break-even position
against the revised budget for the year. 
1.2 There are no capital projects reporting to the Planning and Climate Change
Policy Board. 
1.3  This is summarised in the table below and further analysis is provided in the
report and appendices.

2. Recommendations
2.1 Members are requested to note the projected Revenue outturn break-even
position. 
3. Revenue Budget Projection – break-even by 31 March 2025
3.1 The tables in Appendix 1 present the projected year-end position for all
services reporting to this board, by both subjective analysis (what the budget
Item 1
PACC210125 Page 1 of 106

Page 6

is spent on) and objective analysis (which division is spending the budget).
Significant variances affecting the projected position are analysed further
below. 
3.2 It should be noted that the projected outturn position reported here is based
on the latest information available, which is subject to change during the
financial year. The impact of any change on this projection will be updated at
each board cycle until the close of reporting Period 10. Budget holders are
obliged to seek mitigating action to minimise significant budget variances. 
4. Objective Analysis – Significant Variances
4.1 There are no significant variances to report at this stage in the financial year. 
5. Subjective Analysis – Significant Variances
5.1 Supplies and Services - £0.067m overspend by 31 March 2025
This reflects the impact of an award of expenses relating to a planning
appeal concerning the site at UWS Thornly Park Campus at Caplethill Road,
Paisley. 
5.2 Income - £0.060m underspend (over-recovery) by 31 March 2025
This reflects the impact of a projected over-recovery in Planning income of
£0.060m (9.6%), with a projected break-even position on Building Standards
income. Due to the very demand-led nature of the income stream, which is
impacted by the current economic and financial climate, the level of Planning
and Building Standards income can vary over the course of the financial
year, which can make it challenging to determine trends for income
projection. The current level of projected income remains consistent with
levels reported in the second quarter, reflecting a reasonable forecast at this
stage in the financial year. 
6. Revenue Budget Virements
6.1. Under the Council’s financial regulations, Directors and their nominated
officers, in consultation with the Director of Finance and Resources, have
certain delegated authority to transfer sums between subjective budget
headings within a service division to enable budget management throughout
the financial year. This is known as ‘budget virement’. 
Transfers between divisions of the same service / department in excess of
£100,000, and transfers between services / departments must be authorised
by the respective service Director/Chief Executive and the Director of
Finance and Resources for submission to the relevant policy board for
Page 2 of 106

Page 7

approval. Future reports may therefore ask the board to approve budget
adjustments that are deemed necessary for good budget management. 
No budget adjustments have been processed since the previous report to
board. 
Implications of the Report
1. Financial
The projected budget outturn position for the Planning and Climate Change
Revenue budget is break-even at 31 March 2025.  Income and expenditure will
continue to be monitored closely for the rest of the financial year and as far as
possible, steps will be taken to mitigate any overspend. 
2. HR & Organisational Development 
While staffing budgets form a significant proportion of the Council’s revenue
budgets, there are no direct implications arising from the recommendations in
this report. 
3. Community/Council Planning
Community Plan
Our Renfrewshire is thriving The Council’s revenue and capital spend
ensures that its facilities are fit for
purpose and safe for the community, to
maximise accessibility.
Our Renfrewshire is well 
Our Renfrewshire is fair

Heading: Local Development Plan (LDP2) Delivery Programme Update
___________________________________________________________________
1. Summary
1.1 There is a statutory requirement for Local Development Plans to be
accompanied by a Delivery Programme and for this to be updated every two
years.  A Draft LDP2 Delivery Programme update was consulted on in
November/December 2024, and a finalised Delivery Programme Update has
now been prepared for approval by Board, reflecting comments received.
___________________________________________________________________ 
2. Recommendations
2.1 It is recommended that the Board:
1) approve the Local Development Plan (LDP2) Delivery Programme
Update set out in Appendix 1.
_________________________________________________________
3. Background
3.1 There is a statutory requirement for Local Development Plans to be
accompanied by a Delivery Programme and for this to be updated every two
years.  A Delivery Programme (then known as an Action Programme)
associated with the current Local Development Plan (LDP2) was published in
2022.  A Delivery Programme is required to include:
▪ A list of actions required to deliver each of the plan’s policies and proposals
and an explanation as to how those actions are to be taken.
▪ The timescale for the conclusion of each action; and
Item 2
PACC210125 Page 7 of 106

Page 12

▪ The expected sequencing of, and timescales for, delivery of housing on sites
allocated by the local development plan.
___________________________________________________________________ 
4. Local Development Plan (LDP2) Delivery Programme
4.1 The 5 November 2024 meeting of this Board approved a Draft Delivery
Programme Update for consultation purposes.  This document provided an
update on progress and future action in relation to the actions set out in the
2022 Action Programme.  The consultation commenced on 14 November
2024 and ran until 20 December 2024. Appendix 2 sets out a summary of the
consultation responses received and the Council’s reply to these.
4.2 Most responses were from key agencies or government agencies (SEPA,
Scottish Forestry, NatureScot, Strathclyde Partnership for Transport and
Historic Environment Scotland), who welcomed reference to their involvement
in actions set out in the Delivery Programme and sought minor clarifications or
had no comment.
4.3 Buccleuch Property responded regarding the AMIDS site providing wording to
clarify and update Action 1.  The owners of Braehead Shopping Centre and
Retail Park and the Xsite leisure attraction responded to advise the current
masterplan is dated and unlikely to be implemented and seeks to work with
the Council to prepare a new masterplan, possibly including residential
development.
4.4 Bridge of Weir Community Council commented that it was difficult to discern
an overall vision for Renfrewshire which includes a clear role for the villages. 
It is responded that the vision for Renfrewshire’s places is to be found in the
Local Development Plan rather than the Delivery Programme itself.  A
concern is raised regarding maintenance of core paths, and an action has
been included in this regard.  In response to another comment, ‘local interest
groups’ have been added to the partner list for delivery of the Green Network
Strategy.
4.5 Homes for Scotland offer several comments on behalf of the housebuilding
industry.  They suggest that the Delivery Programme is updated annually, that
actions should be specified in relation to each housing site, that developer
contribution rates should be specified in relation to each site, and that site
briefs or masterplans should be provided for medium- or long-term
allocations.  The Council response is that this is likely to be the last Delivery
Programme associated with LDP2, as the new proposed Local Development
Plan (LDP3) will have a Proposed Delivery Programme published alongside it
in 2026, and to focus resources on providing more detail in the LDP2 Delivery
Programme would divert from the new Local Development Plan process.
4.6 With reference to Action 8 on Paisley Town Centre Action Plan, a reference
has been added in relation to the preservation and enhancement of listed
buildings.
Page 8 of 106

Page 13

4.7 Having had regard to the responses received, the finalised Delivery
Programme associated with LDP2 is attached as Appendix 1 for approval.
___________________________________________________________________
Implications of the Report
1. Financial – Whilst some of the actions set out in the Delivery programme do
need funding for delivery, inclusion in the Delivery Programme does not
commit the Council to funding these actions.
2. HR & Organisational Development – None.
3. Community/Council Planning –
The local development plan is a wide-ranging document and is considered to
support the priorities of the Renfrewshire Community Plan and the Council’s
strategic outcomes.
4. Legal – the preparation of a local development plan and associated delivery
programme is a statutory requirement for planning authorities. The Council is
following statutory procedures in preparing the plan and associated
documents.
5. Property/Assets – None.
6. Information Technology – None. 
7. Equality & Human Rights – an Equalities Impact Assessment was prepared
in respect of the Local Development Plan (LDP2) that this Delivery
programme Update is associated with. It is available to view at
https://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/article/3070/Renfrewshire-Development-Plan
8. Health & Safety – None.
9. Procurement – None.
10. Risk – None
11. Privacy Impact – None.
12. Climate Risk – None
13. Children’s Rights – this report does not cover a new policy, function or
strategy nor a substantive change to an existing policy, function or strategy
which will have an impact on children’s rights.
14. Cosla Policy Position – None

Work will now be progressed to deliver tourism related development including projects
to boost the tourism potential of Paisley Town Centre as set out in Paisley Vision 2030.

Progress and future actions: A new vision for Johnstone was published in May
2024 and is a strategic initiative aimed at revitalising the town centre. It focuses on
enhancing public spaces and supporting local businesses to create a more vibrant
and sustainable community.
The vision seeks to promote economic growth, boost tourism, and enhance the
quality of life for residents by developing infrastructure, improving transport links,
and creating a sense of community pride. The initiative is part of broader efforts to
rejuvenate towns in the region, making them more attractive and liveable for future
generations.
Another commission in Erskine is currently in progress to develop proposals to
make public spaces and greenspaces more appealing as part of a review of the
Centre Strategy for Erskine and short, medium and long-term actions have been
identified.
Officers are also looking to appoint a consultant to prepare landscape design
proposals which support the delivery of enhancements within an area of open space

department store site in Paisley providing 81 affordable flats. Thirty-four flats have
been developed by Nixon Blue at Bridge Street in Paisley. These projects alongside
the other 269 residential units that have been completed since 2016 are contributing
to the wider regeneration of Paisley town centre, adding to the tenure diversification
and increased residential provision within this key central location. Proposals
continue to be progressed to deliver new homes in and around town centres and will
continue to be considered and promoted through the preparation of Centre
Strategies and the delivery of the Strategic Housing Investment Plan.

The Strategic Housing Investment Plan sets out how investment in
affordable housing will be targeted to meet the objectives of
Renfrewshire’s Local Housing Strategy.
Projects within the Strategic Housing Investment Plan are prioritised
to reflect project deliverability in terms of local needs assessments,
site availability, strategic priorities and funding availability from both
a programme prospective and the housing developers’ own financial
capacity.  
Timescales
The SHIP is reviewed and updated annually and submitted to the
Scottish Government by 31 October each year. The SHIP contains
expected timescales for completion of projects subject to the
availability of grant funding.

Funding
The Scottish Government allocates grant funding to local
authority areas through the Affordable Housing Supply
Programme. Funding for financial year 2024/25 was lower than
originally anticipated, and there is uncertainty over future year’s
funding meaning delivery of the programme is likely to be
impacted.
Progress and future actions
The SHIP continues to provide funding to deliver a range of
affordable housing developments across Renfrewshire including
the delivery in 2023/24 of 101 new homes by the Council at
Ferguslie Park, Paisley, and 81 homes at Abbey Quarter in
Paisley and 14 homes at Woodend House in Houston, both
development by Link Group.
New affordable homes are being developed to the ensure they
are energy efficient to help tackle fuel poverty and the Council
and partners continue to develop options around the
achievement of low carbon, energy efficient homes that meet
our climate change aspirations through innovation and
technology.   
Throughout the lifetime of the SHIP the Council will continue to
explore options around innovative delivery mechanisms to
expand the supply of affordable housing focusing on the
regeneration of brownfield and previously used land.

Policy/Proposal: P1, P5, P6, C1, I1, ENV2 & ENV7
Lead/ Partners: Local community groups, residents,
local businesses, Development Trusts, Renfrewshire
Council and Community Councils.
Progress and future actions: A community led Pilot Local Place Plan for Foxbar
in Paisley was completed in 2018 with the assistance of the Scottish Government
‘Making Places’ initiative.
The outcomes and principles emerging from this process informed the preparation
of a ‘How to Guide’ providing a template to support communities to deliver Local
Place Plans across Renfrewshire.
In May 2023, an invitation was issued to communities across Renfrewshire to
prepare a Local Place Plan. Information sessions were held in March 2024, and
further information drop-in sessions were held in August and September 2024, as
well as one-to-one meetings with interested organisations. As at September 2024,
13 community organisations have expressed an interest in preparing a Local
Place Plan for their area. The Council will work to support local communities if
they decide to prepare a plan for their area.

Policy/Proposal: P1, P2, P3, P5, P6 I1,I3, I7 & ENV4 
Lead/ Partners: Renfrewshire Council, various house
builders and Registered Social Landlords. 
Progress and future actions: A masterplan was produced for the Johnstone
South West area in 2012 with a range of local residents, community
representatives and key stakeholders involved in a 'charrette' exercise supported
by the Scottish Government.  As at 2024, 222 houses have been developed on
sites identified in the masterplan, including 183 private houses either side of Beith
Road at Fordbank, and 39 houses by Renfrewshire Council at Auchengreoch
Road. A new early learning and childcare centre has also been delivered in the
area. 
The Howwood Road regeneration and renewal area sits within the Community
Growth Area. Two phases of new build housing are planned for this area, with a
planning application for the first phase of 70 houses submitted. Other housing
development opportunities have still to be brought forward.

Policy/Proposal: P1, P3, P5, P6, I1 & I7
Lead/Partners: Renfrewshire Council, Local
Communities and Registered Social Landlords. 
Progress and future actions: The Housing-led Regeneration and Renewal
Programme is focused on eight regeneration areas within Renfrewshire
(Auchentorlie, Howard Street, Waverley Road, Ferguslie/Broomlands,
Springbank/Mossvale, Thrushcraig, all Paisley, Howwood Road in Johnstone, and
Moorpark in Renfrew). The programme will deliver modern, high quality, energy
efficient, affordable Council housing and contribute to the wider transformation of
communities across Renfrewshire. 
Within each area, there is a different scope of regeneration activity and
timescales, within a 10-year programme that commenced in 2022. Regeneration
activity involves a mix of investment in existing properties, demolition, new-build,
and environmental improvements. 
The programme involves a new approach to community neighbourhood renewal,
going beyond housing and taking account of broader issues such as health and
wellbeing, and access to open space, sustainable travel, and employment/training
opportunities. 
A detailed update setting out progress and future activity in each area was
reported to the 20 August 2024 Communities and Housing Policy Board.

Lead/ Partners: Key housing groups, developers, Key
Agencies, Local Community Organisations, Registered
Social Landlords, adjoining Local Authorities and
Renfrewshire Council. 
Progress and future actions: Strategic Priority 5 of the Local Housing Strategy
2023-28 is that ‘people can live independently for as long as possible in their own
home and the different housing needs of people across Renfrewshire are being
met’. Whilst recognising a general need of housing for particular needs, the Local
Housing Strategy does not specify the need for specific sites for key groups. 
However, opportunities to deliver new homes for key groups are continually
investigated through the annual review of the Strategic Housing Investment
Programme. 
The Local Housing Strategy also sets a requirement for 10% of dwellings in new
residential proposals to be designed to be easily adaptable for wheelchair users,
and 5% to be designed to be wheelchair accessible. 
LDP2 provides a framework for the consideration of new small privately-owned
sites to accommodate Gypsies/Travellers and Travelling Showpeople, whether
transit or permanent. 
The requirement for the identification of land/sites for Gypsy/Traveller housing
needs is being considered as part of the new Local Development Plan (LDP3)
process.

in April 2021. Link Group are now on site with Johnstone Castle Phase II which
will provide 68 new social rented homes, with these homes due to complete in
August 2026.
101 new affordable homes were completed in the Tannahill regeneration area in
Ferguslie Park in July 2023. These 95 Council homes and 6 homes for shared
equity low-cost home ownership included a mix of 1 and 2 bed cottage flats and
bungalows and 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes.
To complement the housing development, the Council worked in partnership with
the local community to prepare ‘The Making of Ferguslie’, which sets out a vision
for the future of Ferguslie over 5-10 years from 2021.

Action 22: Update and refresh Renfrewshire’s Places Design Guidance
Policy/Proposal: P1, P2, P3, P5, P6, I1 & I7
Lead/ Partners: Renfrewshire Council. Progress and future actions: Renfrewshire’s Places Design Guidance sets out
the objectives of sustainable placemaking, design and achieving high-quality
design. The current guidance, dating from 2015, is still in use and many of the

within the work programme.
Action 23: Work with local communities to support the delivery of community asset transfer projects
Policy/Proposal: P1, P5, P6 & ENV7
Lead/Partners: Renfrewshire Council, Local
Community/Voluntary Organisations and Development
Trusts.
Progress and future actions: Renfrewshire Council is committed to building
strong, safe and resilient communities. In 2022 the Council created a dedicated
single point of contact for community asset transfer and reviewed our policy and
procedures. The result has been an increase in the number of asset transfer
requests, better support for community organisations and management of the
process through the Council and an increase in success.
Since Part 5 of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 came into
force in 2017, Renfrewshire Council has processed 22 full CAT requests. 11 of
the applications were processed in the period 2017-22 of which 3 were refused

and 2 subsequently withdrawn. Of the 11 applications processed since 2022, 10
were approved and 1 refused. The time taken for asset transfer requests to be
determined and completed has also significantly reduced with fully validated
applications receiving a decision within 12 weeks. 
Future actions include a more strategic approach and integration with the
Council’s review of assets and development of a social value toolkit to aid in the
evaluation and assessment of applications and to measure community benefit
from asset transfer.

owing to changing sustainability standards, and issues that other local authorities
were having in implementing similar guidance. The need for guidance will be
reviewed with Housing Services.

Renfrewshire Local Development Plan – Delivery Programme | 2024 | 31
Delivering the Infrastructure Strategy 
The most up to date reporting year (2023-24) has seen Renfrewshire Council’s
emissions reduce to 18,889t tCO2e – a reduction of 3.3% compared with the
previous year and an overall reduction of 64.6% against the baseline year of 2012-
13. 
Internally, projects which feed into the Plan for Net Zero continue to be delivered as
a Council across all 5 themes (clean energy, sustainable transport, circular
economy, connected communities and resilient place). Work is also progressing on
the preparation of priority projects which will build on the policy framework in the
Local Development Plan to provide a strategic framework to meet our climate
change targets. These projects will take into consideration the key plans and
policies to provide the direction and scale we need to work towards net zero
emissions. 
The Local Development Plan provides a spatial strategy and policy framework to
support Renfrewshire’s Plan for Net Zero, which will be kept under review, including
the preparation of additional planning guidance if required.

Renfrewshire’s Green Network Strategy 
Funding Details: 
It is anticipated that projects will be funded through a variety of
sources and organisations, such as national grant schemes as well as
those funding streams available to voluntary and third sector bodies. 
Progress and future actions: 
Several pieces of work that would inform a Green Network Strategy
have been completed or commenced. These include an updated Core
Paths Plan (2022) and Biodiversity Action Plan (2024). An open space
audit and work to identify a nature network is being undertaken to
inform LDP3. 
There is now a statutory requirement to prepare an Open Space
Strategy, although Regulations to inform its preparation are still
awaited. It is likely that an Open Space Strategy could cover much of
the same content of a Green Network Strategy. The preparation of a
separate Green Network Strategy is therefore not within the current
work programme and the need for a separate strategy will be kept
under review..

Responses to consulta�on on the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan (LDP2) Dra� Delivery Programme Update
Respondent Response summary Proposed Renfrewshire Council response
SEPA SEPA welcomes its inclusion in ac�ons rela�ng to ﬂood risk and
drainage, heat networks and the prepara�on of a green
network strategy, with the sugges�on that the strategy should
consider blue infrastructure (water) as well as green.
Noted.
No change to the LDP2 Delivery programme is proposed in
relation to this comment.
Bridge of Weir
Community Council
It is diﬃcult to discern an overall vision for Renfrewshire which
includes a clear role for the villages.
It is not the role of the Delivery Plan to set a vision for
Renfrewshire. This is for the Local Development Plan itself.
The comment is noted and we will work with Bridge of
Weir Community Council and other communi�es to
develop visions for all areas in the new Local Development
Plan (LDP3).
No change to the LDP2 Delivery programme is proposed in
relation to this comment.
Ac�on re Core Paths Plan, does this include maintenance?
Around Bridge of Weir path maintenance is becoming a concern
with seemingly no clear responsibility.
This ac�on primarily relates to the iden�ﬁca�on of the core
path network and the update of the Core Paths Plan which
was approved in 2022. However, an ac�on has been added
rela�ng to the maintenance of core paths. It should be
noted that there is no statutory duty to maintain core
paths, nor is the Council responsible for the maintenance
of all paths in the core path network, some of which are
not in Council ownership. Where the Council is responsible
for a path, maintenance can be undertaken subject to
available resources.
The Green Network Strategy ac�on should also include groups
such as Crea�ng a Sustainable Gryﬀe.
It is recognised that local interest groups will have a role in
developing and implemen�ng a green network strategy or
similar. Rather than name a speciﬁc group, ‘local interest
groups’ will be added to the list of partners in Ac�on 37.

Homes for Scotland It is suggested that the Delivery Programme is updated annually
to account for changes to capital programmes and new

The Council should detail speciﬁc ac�ons that are required to
deliver development sites, �mescales for this and who is
responsible for addressing the ac�on.
Whilst recognising that this could be beneﬁcial, it is
considered that to do this for each of the 120 housing sites
listed in the LDP2 Delivery Programme would be resource
intensive and would divert from the prepara�on of the new
local development plan (LDP3). This will be considered as
part of the Proposed Delivery Programme will be published
alongside the Proposed LDP3 in 2026 
No change to the LDP2 Delivery programme is proposed in
relation to this comment.
The Delivery Programme should include accurate costs for
poten�al contribu�on rates per house as well as the likely split
of costs between lead and suppor�ng delivery partners. Greater
certainty on poten�al direct and indirect developer
contribu�ons will allow developers to factor this into their
viability assessments and for the Council to understand where
�mescales for delivery do not align.

Applicant Mr Paul O'Brien Enva
Recommendation Grant subject to conditions
All plans, reports, documents and representations relating to this application can be
viewed in full online at https://pl-bs.renfrewshire.gov.uk/online-
applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=SAL4XGMWG9L00. 
This report fulfils the requirements of regulation 16, Schedule 2, paragraphs 3(c) and 4 of
The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Scotland)
Regulations 2013. 
The report is presented to the Planning and Climate Change Policy Board in line with the
Council's Scheme of Delegation.  While the application would normally fall within the scheme
of delegation to be determined by officers, the scheme of delegation allows for officers to
refer applications to the board.  The application has been referred in this instance to allow
the application to be fully considered given the site history and the potential environmental
matters associated with waste management facilities. 
Proposal
This application seeks permission under Section 42 of The Town and Country Planning
(Scotland) Act 1997 (as amended) to vary conditions 3 and 4 of planning permission
11/0431/PP which relates to waste management operations at the ENVA facility on Burnbrae
Road, Linwood. 
Planning permission 11/0431/PP sought to vary conditions associated with the original
planning permission 97/0920/PP with respect to changing the boundary whereby waste can
be stored, recycled and transferred, and the types of waste which can be handled at the site. 
Condition 3 of planning permission 11/0431/PP relates to areas where the reception, storage
and handling of municipal solid waste shall be restricted to. It is worded as follows: 
That all activities related to the reception, storage, and handling of municipal solid waste
(MSW) shall be restricted to, and contained entirely within, the building coloured green and
marked "Proposed Building" on Drawing Number 76/000/PA/04 Revision A and as detailed in
Drawing Numbers 76/000/PA/07, 76/000/PA/08 and 76/000/PA/09. 
Reason: In the interest of amenity and to define the permission. 
Condition 4 relates to the types of waste that can be processed at the site. It is worded as
follows: 
That the materials which can be received, handled, sorted, crushed, shredded, processed
and stored on the site shall be restricted to waste cardboard, plastics, glass, tiles, brick,
Item 3(a)
PACC210125 Page 65 of 106

Page 70

concrete, aggregate and waste arising from construction or demolition works and shall
exclude clinical waste or special waste other than waste electrical or electronic equipment
(WEEE) items which contain some components which classify the items as special wastes
unless otherwise restricted or allowed for by reference to conditions 2 and 3 above.
Reason: To define the permission and in the interests of amenity.
The proposed variation seeks to broaden the types of waste which can be handled at the
site, and specifically the ability to accept non-hazardous solid industrial and commercial
wastes (NHSICW). This will allow the operator to future proof its services and provide more
flexibility to respond to commercial demands. The immediate intention is to start accepting
leather waste from a local manufacturer. The leather waste would be shredded, and then
sent offsite to an energy from waste plant.
The variation to the wording of conditions 3 and 4 as proposed by the applicant is therefore
as follows:
Condition 3
That all activities related to the reception, storage and handling of municipal solid waste
(MSW) and non-hazardous solid industrial and commercial waste (NHSICW) shall be
restricted to, and contained entirely within the building coloured green and marked
"Proposed Building" on Drawing Number 761000/PA/04 Revision A and as detailed in
Drawing Numbers 761000/PA/07, 761000/PA/089 and 761000/PA/09.
It is noted that the drawings references on condition 3 contain a typographical error whereby
/ has replaced 1. This has been corrected.
Condition 4
That the materials which can be received, handled, sorted, crushed, shredded, processed
and stored on the site shall be restricted to waste cardboard, plastics, glass, tiles, brick,
concrete, aggregate, waste arising from construction or demolition works, and other non-
hazardous solid industrial and commercial waste (NHSICW). Clinical waste or special waste
(other than waste electrical or electronic equipment (WEEE) items which contain some
components which classify the items as special wastes) shall not be received within the site
unless otherwise allowed for by reference to condition 3 above.
It should be noted that the inclusion of NHSICW would allow for a range of additional wastes
to be processed at the site, provided they were from industrial and commercial sources, non-
hazardous and in a solid state. However as per condition 3 any wastes that fall within this
category would still need to be received, stored, and handled within a building.
The applicant advises that the leather waste they are proposing to process at the site is
approx. 800 tonnes a year. This equates to approx. 82 additional deliveries a year.
The applicant further advises that the SEPA waste management licence at the site allows a
maximum of 500,000 tonnes of waste to be received in total each year. However, over the
last five years the actual amounts received have ranged between 171,000 tonnes and
267,000 tonnes per annum.
Site Description
The ENVA facility is located within the Burnbrae local industrial area. It comprises of a mix
of buildings spread over the 10.6 hectare site area. The site is bound by a railway line and
cycle path to the south and south west, a logistics warehouse to the west, Burnbrae Road to
the north with open space beyond, and Old Patrick Wate to the east with a long stay car park

Page 71

beyond.  The nearest residential properties are on Old Road in Elderslie which are located
on the opposite side of the railway line to the south of the site. 
Pre-Application Consultation with Officers
The Scottish Government strongly encourages constructive pre-application discussions
between prospective applicants and the planning authority.  Pre-application discussions seek
to identify key planning considerations at an early stage and help inform what supporting
information is required to support a subsequent application.   
Pre-application discussions have taken place, focusing on the following matters: 
▪ The requirement for a Section 42 application to vary the conditions, and a list of
information required to support the application.

Policy Context
In making any determination under the Planning Acts, regard is to be had to the
development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. In this instance the
Development Plan consists of National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) and the Renfrewshire
Local Development Plan (2021) (LDP).
Page 68 of 106

Page 73

The following provisions of the Development Plan are considered relevant to the
determination of this application: 
National Planning Framework 4 
Policy 1 - Tackling the climate and nature crises
Policy 2 - Climate mitigation and adaptation
Policy 3 - Biodiversity
Policy 12 - Zero waste
Policy 13 - Sustainable transport
Policy 22 - Flood risk and water management
Policy 26 - Business and industry

Submitted Reports and Assessments
The following reports and assessments were submitted in support of the application: 
Planning Statement - Provides further background and context to the proposed variation of
condition, and an assessment against the applicable development plan policies and
guidance. 
Transport Statement – Primary purpose of the statement was to assess the implications of
processing 500,000 tonnes of waste at the site on the road network. The statement also
reviews accessibility to the site for all transport modes. 
The statement concludes that the anticipated level of traffic generation associated with an
annual tonnage of 500,000 would have a minimal impact on the road network.  While a
review of accessibility has been undertaken, any proposals to enhance accessibility are
considered by the applicant to fall outwith the scope of the assessment of this application.   
Scottish Ministers Direction
In determining a planning application, the Council is required to provide details of any
Direction made by Scottish Ministers under Regulation 30 (Directions requiring consultation),
Regulation 31 (Directions requiring information), Regulation 32 (Directions restricting the
grant of planning permission) and Regulation 33 (Directions requiring consideration of
condition) of The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure)
Page 69 of 106

Page 74

(Scotland) Regulations 2013, or under Regulation 50 (that development is EIA development)
of The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland)
Regulations 2017.
None.
Planning Assessment
This application has been submitted under Section 42 of the Town and Country Planning
(Scotland) Act 1997. In this respect, the Council may only take into consideration the
acceptability of any existing and proposed conditions. However, in some cases this does not
preclude the consideration of the overall effect of granting a new planning permission
primarily where the previous permission has lapsed or is incapable of being implemented.
ENVA is an established recycling facility that processes a range of materials in accordance
with the relevant planning conditions. In land use terms its location is consistent in principle
with policies 21 of NPF4 and E1 of the LDP which provide support for a wide range of
employment generating uses.
Policy I5 of the LDP and 12 of NPF4 seek to promote and facilitate development that is
consistent with the waste hierarchy and would support delivery of the zero waste plan.
ENVA is licensed for waste management processes by SEPA. The proposal to process non-
hazardous solid industrial and commercial waste (NHSICW) would further diversify the
waste streams that are recycled at the facility in accordance with the waste hierarchy and
the zero waste plan.
NHSICW potentially covers a broad range of waste types. However, in this instance the
applicant has made specific reference to processing leather waste. This waste would be
shredded within the Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) facility and then sent for onward transport to
an energy from waste facility. The applicant advises that the leather waste is not odorous.
The Environmental Protection Team have not made any comment on the application. SEPA
have advised that the application falls below their threshold for providing specific advice. It
is noted that environmental matters at the site are regulated by SEPA via the waste
management licence.
On the basis that the NHSICW waste stream is non hazardous, the waste will be sorted and
processed within a building, and there have been no objections from the Environmental
Protection Team or SEPA, I am satisfied that the processing of NHSICW at the site will not
have a detrimental impact on the amenity of surrounding land uses or the environment.
It is acknowledged that the introduction of NHSICW at the site could result in waste streams
other than leather from being processed at the site. Environmental matters arising from
these other wastes would be a matter for SEPA to monitor through the waste management
licence. The applicant has advised that an amendment to the waste management licence is
required to accommodate the NHSICW. Again, there has been no objection from SEPA to
this application.
There are no significant built heritage or natural environment impacts associated with the
development, and there will be no adverse effect on the integrity of any European sites.
In view of the above, it is considered that the development complies with Policies 3 and 22 of
NPF4 and ENV2, ENV4 and ENV5 of the LDP as there are no significant impacts anticipated
with regard to the natural environment, water environment, air quality, or biodiversity.

Page 75

It is also considered that the facility will be able to co-exist with existing neighbouring uses
and is compatible with the core role and function of the Burnbrae local industrial area. It is
noted that there are several other waste transfer and recycling facilities along Burnbrae
Road. The development is therefore also compliant with policies 21 of NPF4 and E1 of the
LDP.
The Roads Development Officer has advised that the additional trips associated with
processing the leather waste will not have a significant detrimental impact on the local road
network. The additional trips amount to approx. 82 additional deliveries a year.
However as noted above the introduction of NHSICW at the site could result in waste
streams other than leather from being processed at the site. This in turn could generate
additional trips to the site.
At present the tonnage allowances at the site are set out within the waste management
license only, and there are no planning conditions that place a limit on the tonnage which
can be processed at the site. While the Roads Development Officer has not objected to the
scale of the current operations, or the increase associated with the processing of leather
waste (noted as approx. 800 tonnes per annum), the initial submission did not include an
assessment of the potential impact of 500,000 tonnes of waste being processed at the site in
accordance with the SEPA licence.
The applicant was initially advised that the Council would seek to introduce a condition
limiting the tonnage allowance at the site in the interests of the safe and efficient operation of
the road network and to retain control over the scale of the development. The applicant
advised that the maximum tonnage received by the facility in the last five years is 267,000
tonnes. Taking the additional NHSICW into account it was considered reasonable to restrict
the tonnage which can be received by the facility to 300,000 tonnes per year.
The applicant was advised of the intention to attach a condition limiting throughout to
300,000 tonnes per year unless they could justify that throughput in excess of this would be
acceptable with regard to the impact on the road network. In response the applicant has
submitted a Transport Statement which seeks to justify a throughput of 500,000 tonnes in
pine with the allowance as set out in the waste management licence.
The Transport Statement concludes that a throughput of 500,000 tonnes would not have a
significant impact on the road network. The Roads Development officer has not objected to
the conclusions within the Transport Statement. On this basis the condition restricting
throughput at the site can be set at 500,000 tonnes per annum.
The Roads Development Officer has also sought enhancements to the surrounding transport
network to support active travel to the site. These include upgrading footways, and forming
a direct connection between the site and the National Cycle Network which is located to the
south west. While such enhancements would be desirable, it is noted that the scope of the
proposed variation relates to the types of waste being handled at the site. The proposed
conditions seek to manage the operation of the site in this regard. It is considered that
seeking enhancements to the wider transport network would be outwith the scope of the
assessment of this application.
In view of the above, it is considered that the development complies with policies 13 of NPF4
and I1 of the LDP.
With regard to the remaining assessment criteria set out in NPF4 policy 12, the applicant has
advised that they are exploring ways in which carbon emissions at the site can be reduced.
This includes EV's for deliveries, and using a renewable energy provider for the facility.

Page 76

The railway line acts as a suitable buffer zone between the site and neighbouring residential
properties to the south.
There are no additional buildings being proposed, and it is not considered neccesary to
require any additional landscaping.
There is a requirement to provide a restoration and aftercare scheme (including appropriate
financial mechanisms) to ensure the site is suitably decommissioned and appropriately
restored should the site close. Conditions can be applied which require such a scheme to
be agreed with the Council.
As this is an established site the criteria relating to co-location with end users of outputs is
not wholly relevant. However, it is noted that the site is located within a local industrial area
where related industrial uses would be acceptable in principle.
The proposed variation to condition 3 and 4 will bring environmental benefits by allowing an
established recycling facility to process additional waste in a manner that does not have a
detrimental impact on the environment or amenity of neighbouring properties. It is
considered that the variation complies with policies I5 of the LDP and 12 of NPF4.
Finally, the development is considered to be consistent with policies 1 and 2 of NPF4 as it
contributes to provision of a circular economy whereby the non-hazardous solid industrial
and commercial waste (NHSICW) is recycled as opposed to being disposed of.
If successful, the effect of a Section 42 application to modify a planning condition or
conditions is to grant a further planning permission for the whole development again but with
the amended condition or conditions replacing those that were previously issued, or with
conditions removed if required. All other conditions, if relevant, are also required to be
attached to any new planning permission. A review of the conditions attached to the
previous planning permission 11/0431/PP has therefore been carried out.
Condition 1 specified that the planning permission would lapse on the expiration of a period
of 3 years unless the development to which it relates is begun. It is not neccesary to retain
this condition as the time period for the consent is specified in the Town and Country
Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations 2013 (as
amended) and is deemed to be imposed in this regard.
Conditions 3 and 4 will be varied as per the above assessment.
Condition 5 relates to the submission of a Bird Hazard Management Plan. This condition has
previously been discharged. The condition will therefore be amended to ensure the
approved Bird Hazard Management Plan continues to remain in force for the life of the
development.. It is also noted that Glasgow Airport Safeguarding have not objected to the
application.
Conditions 2, 6, 7 and 8 shall be retained as previously worded.
Additional conditions shall be imposed with regard to a restriction in the tonnage allowance
which can be processed at the site, and the requirement to agree a restoration and aftercare
scheme with appropriate financial mechanism.
Section 75 Obligations

The Council is required to provide a summary of the terms of any planning obligation which
is required to be entered into under Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland)
Act in relation to the grant of permission for the proposed development:
None.
Conclusion
In view of the above, it is considered that the proposal would accord with the relevant
provisions of the Development Plan. There are no other material considerations. Planning
permission should therefore be granted subject to conditions.
Recommendation

Application Type Planning Permission
Proposal Infilling and regrading of land
Location Land at Glenfield Road, Caplethill Road, Paisley
Ward 6 - Paisley Southeast
Community Council Glenburn Community Council
Applicant Miller Homes Ltd
Recommendation Refuse
All plans, reports, documents and representations relating to this application can be
viewed in full online at https://pl-bs.renfrewshire.gov.uk/online-
applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=SFQPGZMWIF900.
This report fulfils the requirements of regulation 16, Schedule 2, paragraphs 3(c) and 4 of The
Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations
2013.
The report is presented to the Planning and Climate Change Policy Board in line with the
Council's Scheme of Delegation. In this instance, officers have declined to exercise delegated
authority given the complex planning history of the site.
Proposal
This application seeks planning permission for the re-grading and infilling of land to the south
of Caplethill Road, Paisley. The infill and regarding of the land would involve material of a
volume of approximately 10,000m3 being deposited on the application site. The applicant in
support of the application, has stated that the proposal is necessary due to a proposed
footpath on the south side of Caplethill Road which forms part of the off-site works for an
approved residential development on the north side of Caplethill Road, immediately adjacent
to the site (20/0510/PP). The levelling of the land would mitigate health and safety concerns
with the existing slope in proximity to the footpath. The materials would be imported from the
adjacent housing site (20/0510/PP) which is currently under construction.
Site Description
The application site is located to the south of Paisley, on the edge of the town and immediately
adjacent to an approved housing site which is currently under construction (20/0510/PP). The
application site relates to an area of ground situated between Capltehill Road to the north and
core path GB/9 to the east and core path SP/32 to the south. The ground slopes away from
Capltehill Road and the core paths. The centre of the site is low lying wetland.
Pre-Application Consultation with Officers
The Scottish Government strongly encourages constructive pre-application discussions
between prospective applicants and the planning authority. Pre-application discussions seek
to identify key planning considerations at an early stage and help inform what supporting
information is required to support a subsequent application.
No pre-application discussions have taken place.
Negotiated Improvements
No changes have been negotiated.
Site History

Submitted Reports and Assessments
The following information was sought by the case officer:   
▪ Purpose of infilling including the source/nature/volume testing of the materials;
▪ Ecological Survey;
▪ Details relating to the drainage of the site;
▪ Impact of the proposed development on trees;
▪ Details of proposed landscaping; and
▪ Details of how the site would be accessed. 
No reports or assessments were submitted in support of the application. 
Scottish Ministers Direction
In determining a planning application, the Council is required to provide details of any Direction
made by Scottish Ministers under Regulation 30 (Directions requiring consultation),
Regulation 31 (Directions requiring information), Regulation 32 (Directions restricting the grant
of planning permission) and Regulation 33 (Directions requiring consideration of condition) of
The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Scotland)
Regulations 2013, or under Regulation 50 (that development is EIA development) of The Town
and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland) Regulations 2017. 
None. 
Planning Assessment
Section 25 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act requires decisions on planning
applications to be made in accordance with the development plan unless material
considerations indicate otherwise.  The Development Plan comprises the National Planning
Framework 4 (2023) and the adopted Renfrewshire Local Development Plan (2021). 
The fourth National Planning Framework (NPF4) provides the long-term national spatial
strategy for planning in Scotland.  It sets out the Scottish Government's current view on
delivering sustainable, liveable and productive places through the application of spatial
principles.  As the application site in this case is situated at a rural location which is designated
as green belt in the adopted Renfrewshire Local Development Plan (LDP), Policy 8 and Policy
ENV1 of the LDP are relevant to the assessment of this application as they set out specific
circumstances in new will be supported in principle in green belt and rural areas.  A summary
of acceptable development includes: 
▪ Development associated with agriculture, woodland creation, forestry and existing
woodland;
▪ Residential accommodation required and designed for a key worker in a primary industry
within the immediate vicinity of their place of employment;
▪ Horticulture;
▪ Outdoor recreation, play and sport or tourism uses; and developments that provide
opportunities for access into the open countryside;
▪ Flood risk management;
Page 79 of 106

Page 84

▪ Essential infrastructure or new cemetery provision;
▪ Minerals operations and renewable energy developments;
▪ Intensification of established uses;
▪ The reuse, rehabilitation and conversion of historic assets; or
▪ One-for-one replacements of existing permanent homes. 
It has not been demonstrated that the proposed development relates to any of the above
development as an acceptable greenbelt use and as such, the proposal would not comply with
Policy 8 and ENV1. 
Notwithstanding this, the New Development Supplementary Guidance, Green Belt
Development Criteria sets out several criteria against which all development proposals within
the green belt will be assessed.  When the proposal is assessed, the following conclusions
can be made. 
▪ There would be no loss of prime quality agricultural land or of lesser quality that is
locally important - The site is not characterised as prime agricultural land and there is no
evidence that it is a locally important area of agricultural land. 
▪ Adverse impacts on the qualities of wild land that cannot be overcome by siting,
design, and other mitigation - the application is not supported by any information which
demonstrates that the proposal /or landscaping would mitigate any impact on wild land. 
For clarity the site is considered to be defined as wild land. 
▪ Traffic and access infrastructure can be sensitively accommodated - No details have
been provided in respect of how the site would be accessed and material transported to
the site. 
▪ No significant effects on public water supply and water environment from any
pollution risk - no evidence has been provided to suggest that the proposal would not
result in significant pollution of any water supply. 
▪ The development links to existing green network and active travel routes or
provides new enhanced routes - The proposed development would not link to any active
travel route, nor would it provide enhanced routes.   
▪ Proposals to protect and provide access to open space have been incorporated -
the proposal would not impact on any existing access to open space. However, it is
considered that the proposal would result in the loss of an area of designated greenbelt
land. 
▪ Development will not have a significant detrimental impact on the local landscape
character.  Development layout, design and siting must reflect local landscape
character and respect and incorporate important landscape features such as
traditional field enclosures, water courses, woodlands, and skyline - given the low-
lying nature of the site, it is unlikely that the development would have a significant
detrimental impact on the local landscape character, however, no details have been
provided in relation to the proposed landscaping associated with the proposed
development or details relating to the removal of the existing landscaping including the
removal of trees and shrubs.   
▪ It can be demonstrated that there is careful consideration of the siting, design, scale
and grouping of any buildings and infrastructure – There are no buildings proposed.   
Page 80 of 106

Page 85

▪ Appropriate landscaping proposals have been incorporated including the provision
of well-designed boundary treatment - Policy ENV 2 advises that in considering tree or
woodland removal, proposals should minimise any adverse impacts on habitats, species,
network connectivity or landscape character. Policy 3 also states that proposals for local
development should include appropriate measures to conserve, restore and enhance
biodiversity, in accordance with national and local guidance. No landscaping or
biodiversity enhancement scheme has been provided including details on any trees to be
removed.
▪ There are adequate services available for the development, or this can be provided
- due to the nature of the proposal, this would not be applicable.
▪ There is no significant detrimental effect on identified nature conservation interests,
including species and habitats - The applicant has failed to submit Habitat /wildlife
surveys in support of the application and therefore it cannot be concluded that there will
be no significant detrimental impact on nature or conservation interests as a result of the
application proposal.
In conclusion, it is considered that there is insufficient justification to allow for the proposed
development at this location, given the green belt designation of the application site. A suitable
locational need for the development has not been demonstrated and none of the relevant
Development Plan policies or guidance outlined above are considered to offer suitable support
in principle to allow the proposed development at this location.
Additionally, the application does not satisfy that the proposal would not adversely affect
biodiversity including protected species. Therefore, the proposal is also found to be contrary
to the relevant Development Plan policies and guidance on this point.
For these reasons, it is therefore recommended that planning permission is refused.
Representations
Consideration of the representations received are noted below:
1. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposed development would not have a
detrimental impact on biodiversity.
2. SEPA have been consulted and advise that their Standing Advice would be relevant.
3. The principle of the footpath in relation to the off-site works for the housing development is
not applicable to the proposal subject to this report.
Planning Obligations
The Council is required to provide a summary of the terms of any planning obligation which is
required to be entered into under Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act
in relation to the grant of permission for the proposed development:
None.
Conclusion
In view of the above, it is considered that the proposal would not accord with the relevant
provisions of the Development Plan and there are no other material considerations that would
outweigh the provisions of the development plan. Planning permission should therefore be
refused,

This report fulfils the requirements of regulation 16, Schedule 2, paragraphs 3(c) and 4 of The
Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations
2013. 
The report is presented to the Planning and Climate Change Policy Board in line with the
Council's Scheme of Delegation.  In this instance, the application would normally fall within
the Council's scheme of delegation to be determined by an appointed officer.  In this instance
Councillors Bruce MacFarlane, Kenny MacLaren and Mags MacLaren have requested that
the application be determined by the Board, rather than officers due to the trees being
protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) and NPF4 Policy.     
Proposal
Tree works consent is sought for tree felling and pruning works along the north and east
boundary of the Dykebar Hospital grounds, where planning permission was approved at
appeal by the Scottish Government for the erection of 603 dwellinghouses in March 2023
subject to suspensive conditions (19/0810/PP - PPA-350-2-38).  As part of the application a
detailed tree survey and arboricultural constraint report (August 2018 and updated August
2020) which identified eleven woodland areas and five scrub woodland areas across the wider
hospital site, totalling 13.22 Ha, in addition to recording 336 individual specimen trees.  The
tree felling approved across the wider site as part of planning permission 19/0810/PP equates
to 5.68Ha or thereby of woodland, comprising of 207 individual trees.  This application was
also subject to an Environmental Impact Assessment during the appeal process. 
The tree removal for the current tree work application is identified within areas W2, W4 and
W9 and would comprise of the removal of approx. 1.17Ha woodland removal and 24 individual
trees. 
As detailed above, the tree works as detailed in the current application have already been
approved as part of planning application (19/0810/PP).  However, the applicant wishes to carry
out advanced arboricultural works to prepare the site for the commencement of development
at the most suitable time of the year to minimise ecological impacts.  Given the presence of
the TPO, works to protected trees cannot be implemented until such time as all pre-
commencement conditions have been discharged.  The applicant has therefore submitted the
current application and if approved, will enable advanced arboricultural works to be
undertaken both, in advance of all pre-commencement conditions being discharged and at the
most suitable time due to ecological constraints. 
The trees are protected by virtue of being located within Dykebar East Tree Preservation Order
(Ref:93/9).

Representations
The application has been publicised in line with the requirements of the relevant legislation.
One representation was received where concerns were raised with regards to: -
1. Loss of trees through the development of the Dykebar Hosiptal site (19/0810/PP);
2. Up to date surveys should e in place by ecologists and protection measures in place to
lessen impact on wildlife;
3. Contrary to NPF4 and Local Development Plan;
4. Concerns over accuracy of description for W4 within the Arboricultural Method Statement
with regards to tree types;
5. Loss of recreational value. There are well used paths through the woodlands and they are
not indicated on the Arboricultural Method Statement;
6. Loss of sense of arrival, Master Plan amended to retain trees at northern entrance to the
housing development (19/0801/PP). The submitted Arboricultural Method Statement does
not reflect this.
Policy Context
In making any determination under the Planning Acts, regard is to be had to the development
plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. In this instance the Development Plan
consists of National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) and the Renfrewshire Local Development
Plan (2021) (LDP).
The following provisions of the Development Plan are considered relevant to the determination
of this application:
National Planning Framework 4
Policy 6 - Forestry, woodland and trees
Full details relating to the policies of the NPF4 can be found online.
Renfrewshire Local Development Plan
Policy ENV2 - Natural Heritage
Full details relating to the policies of the LDP can be found online.
Other relevant policies and guidance
Renfrewshire New Development Supplementary Guidance - Delivering the Environment
Strategy - Trees, Woodlands and Forestry
Renfrewshire Planning & Development Tree Policy - 2022
The tree works approved under planning approval 19/0810/PP is also a material consideration.
Submitted Reports and Assessments
The following reports and assessments were submitted in support of the application:
Tree Works Application Supporting Statement - Contains details of the planning history of
the site, including details of TPO and proposed works.
Page 87 of 106

Page 92

Documents that were approved as part of planning consent 19/0810/PP were also submitted
including: - 
Arboricultural Method Statement, Dykebar Place Making Strategy and Dykebar Maintenance
Plan. 
Scottish Ministers Direction
In determining a planning application, the Council is required to provide details of any Direction
made by Scottish Ministers under Regulation 30 (Directions requiring consultation),
Regulation 31 (Directions requiring information), Regulation 32 (Directions restricting the grant
of planning permission) and Regulation 33 (Directions requiring consideration of condition) of
The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Scotland)
Regulations 2013, or under Regulation 50 (that development is EIA development) of The Town
and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland) Regulations 2017. 
None. 
Planning Assessment
Section 159 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 places a duty on a planning
authority to include appropriate provisions for the preservation and planting of trees within its
area.  Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) are confirmed where the Council has decided that a
tree or group of trees are worthy of protection.  Works to trees in TPOs therefore need to
demonstrate that the proposed works are required either in the interest of safety or that they
would not have a negative effect on the TPO. 
With respect to planning policy, National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) provides the long-
term national spatial strategy for planning in Scotland.  It sets out the Scottish Government's
current view on delivering sustainable, liveable and productive places through the application
of spatial principles. It is considered that the proposals comply with the overall scope of NPF4. 
Policy 6 (Forestry, woodland and trees) of NPF4 outlines a commitment to support the
protection, expansion and improvement of tree and woodland cover for its nature conservation
value.  Policy ENV 2 of the Adopted Renfrewshire Local Development Plan (2021) and the
New Development Supplementary Guidance (2022) also support these principles, while
Renfrewshire Council's Tree Policy provides additional guidance including a recommendation
that all proposed tree felling should be justified in writing by reputable tree surgeon confirming
that. 
As discussed above, the tree works were previously approved by the Scottish Government
through planning permission 19/0810/PP - PPA-350-2-38.  The approved development design
was informed by detailed tree surveys, which were the basis of the forestry chapter of the
Environmental Impact Assessment that was carried out during the planning appeal process. 
The approved development also includes the requirement for compensatory planting both
within and off-site that would result in a net increase in tree planting of 0.74Ha. 
Condition 18 of planning permission 19/0810/PP also required an arboricultural method
statement and long term tree/woodland management and maintenance plan for the wider site. 
This included details of how retained trees would be protected on site through construction
and future use of the site and the tree/woodland and maintenance of newly planted trees. 
Following consultation with Scottish Forestry, this was also deemed to be acceptable. 
The advanced arboricultrual works would allow for the preparation of the approved
development at the appropriate time.  It is considered that the proposed works have been fully
considered and approved as part of planning permission 19/0810/PP which was also subject
Page 88 of 106

Page 93

to an Environmental Impact Assessment. Due to ecological constraints with regards to the
timing of these works and given the existing planning permission, given the existing consent
it is considered reasonable that the proposed treeworks could be undertaken in advance of
the full discharge of pre-commencement conditions for the approved application.
Representations
In response to the concerns raised in the representation, this is summarised as follows: -
1. Loss of trees through the development of the Dykebar Hosiptal site (19/0810/PP);
As discussed above, the tree works were previously approved by the Scottish
Government through planning permission 19/0810/PP - PPA-350-2-38. The approved
development design was informed by detailed tree surveys, which were the basis of
the forestry chapter of the Environmental Impact Assessment that was carried out
during the planning appeal process. The approved development also includes the
requirement for compensatory planting both within and off-site that would result in a
net increase in tree planting of 0.74Ha.
2. Up to date surveys should be in place by ecologists and protection measures in place
to lessen impact on wildlife;
The Supporting Statement submitted with the application states that a variety of
ecological surveys have been carried out on site from 2018 to the present day to
ensure accurate knowledge of the site’s flora and fauna. Works would also be carried
out in consultation and under the supervision of the project ecologist; where requires,
and NatureScot to ensure that the works accord with the site-specific Badger and Bat
Protection Plans and associated ecological legislation, guidance and best practice for
the constraints from nesting birds. The necessary licences would also be obtained from
NatureScot.
3. Contrary to NPF4 and Local Development Plan;
As discussed above, the proposed treeworks have been previously been assessed
and approved by the Scottish Government through planning permission 19/0810- PPA-
350-2-38 which is a significant material consideration in the assessment of the
proposal. As such, it is considered reasonable that the current treeworks application is
approved in-line with this consent.
The advanced arboricultrual works would allow for the preparation of the approved
development at the appropriate time. It is considered that the proposed works have
been fully considered and approved as part of planning permission 19/0810/PP which
was also subject to an Environmental Impact Assessment.
4. Concerns over accuracy of description for W4 within the Arboricultural Method
Statement with regards to tree types;
As discussed above, the proposed treeworks align with the treeworks already
approved under application 19/0810/PP which was fully assessed and considered by
the Scottish Government.
5. Loss of recreational value. There are well used paths through the woodlands and they
are not indicated on the Arboricultural Method Statement;
Page 89 of 106

Page 94

The impact of recreational routes and the loss of trees was fully considered and
assessed by the Scottish Government as part of the consented development
(19/0810/PP)
6. Loss of sense of arrival, Master Plan amended to retain trees at northern entrance to
the housing development (19/0801/PP). The submitted Arboricultural Method
Statement does not reflect this.
Noted. A revised Arboricultural Method Statement has been submitted to reflect this.
Planning Obligations
The Council is required to provide a summary of the terms of any planning obligation which is
required to be entered into under Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act
in relation to the grant of permission for the proposed development:
None.
Conclusion
In view of the above, it is considered that the proposal would accord with the relevant
provisions of the Development Plan. There are no other material considerations. The tree
works application should therefore be approved.
Recommendation

applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=SJWPI9MWKD100 
This report fulfils the requirements of regulation 16, Schedule 2, paragraphs 3(c) and 4 of
The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Scotland)
Regulations 2013. 
The report is presented to the Planning and Climate Change Policy Board in line with the
Council's Scheme of Delegation.  In this instance, officers have declined to exercise
delegated authority given the recent enforcement case relating to the site and public interest
in the proposed development. 
Proposal
This application seeks permission under Section 42 of The Town and Country Planning
(Scotland) Act 1997 (as amended) to modify the conditions attached to planning permission
19/0444/PP which relates to the erection of a residential development comprising 15
dwellinghouses with associated access road, drainage and landscaping at a site on Old
Greenock Road, Inchinnan, known as the former Greenhead Nursery. 
The proposal seeks to amend the conditions as follows:
▪ Introduce a new condition which requires the consent to be implemented within three
years of the date of the consent;
▪ Modify condition 4 to reflect landscaping proposals which have been submitted and
considered to be acceptable to the Planning Authority.  The condition would reference
the landscaping plan in question.
▪ Modify condition 6 to reflect the details relating to facing materials which have been
submitted and considered to be acceptable to the Planning Authority.  The condition
would reference the facing materials in question.
▪ Amalgamate conditions 7 and 8 into one condition to reflect that the boundary treatments
have been submitted and are considered acceptable to the Planning Authority.  The
condition would require the boundary treatments to be implemented in line with the
submitted details. 
It is proposed that conditions 2, 3 and 5 as attached to planning consent 19/0444/PP would
be reattached in their existing form.   
Item 3(d)

Site Description
The site is currently disused and overgrown and sits between Inchinnan Playing Fields and
an existing housing development accessed from Ladyacres.  It is relatively flat with existing
areas of hardstanding associated with the previous use. There are three private residencies
within immediate vicinity of the site, namely Greenhead Farm, Greenhead Cottage and
Craigdene.   
The former nursery was accessed by vehicles via the existing road access off Old Greenock
Road, which services the residential properties of Greenhead Cottage, Craigdene and
Greenhead Farm.   
The site is bounded to the south and southeast by open agricultural fields, to the north
across Old Greenock Road by Inchinnan Primary School and a care for the elderly and to
the west by Inchinnan playing fields. 
It should be noted that development on the site has commenced with evidence of the
formation of an access road and aspects relating to drainage proposals. 
Background
Planning consent was granted in December 2019 subject to conditions, which included five
pre-commencement conditions, each of which required to be satisfied prior to the
commencement of the development in question.  It is significant to note that shortly after the
grant of planning application 19/0444/PP, a number of national lockdowns were implemented
as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and as such this delayed the submission of details
relating to the pre-commencement conditions and ultimately the implementation of the
consent. 
As a result of emergency coronavirus legislation, planning consents due to expire within the
emergency period (7th April 2020 to 30th September 2022) were granted an extended
implementation date of 31st March 2023.  In applying the emergency legislation to planning
consent 19/0444/PP it is significant to note that the consent was due to expire outwith the
emergency period as prescribed by the aforementioned emergency legislation and in this
regard the planning consent required to be implemented by 22nd December 2022. 
It should be noted that all pre-commencement conditions had not been discharged prior to
the expiry date of 22nd December 2022 and the consent was therefore not implemented and
in this regard planning consent 19/0444/PP lapsed on 22nd December 2022. 
Notwithstanding the above, it is important to note that the applicant had sought to discharge
condition 2 relating to the need for a site investigation report and remediation strategy and
implementation plan prior to the expiry of the planning consent in question - the initial
submission of a Site Investigation Report was received on 30th January 2022.  As a result of
delays and resource pressures in dealing with contaminated land matters at the time,
condition 2 was not satisfied prior to the expiry of the planning consent.  An initial response
was provided in respect of the site investigation report on 18th May 2022 which sought the
submission of further details.  Further details were later received however condition 2(a) was
not discharged prior to the expiry of the consent in December 2022.  This is an unfortunate
circumstance and as such apologies are offered in respect of such delays however this does
not change the fact that the expiry of the planning consent was known as 22nd December
2022 albeit it is accepted that some confusion may have existed, in relation to the
emergency period which was provided by the emergency coronavirus legalisation at the time
in question.  In addition to the above, it should also be noted that submission and approval
of other pre-commencement conditions did not take place until early 2023, after the expiry of
the consent, while no submission has ever been received in respect of planning condition
2(b) which relates to a remediation strategy and implementation plan.    
Page 94 of 106

Page 99

It should be noted that no S42 application was submitted prior to the expiry of planning
consent 19/0444/PP which sought to extend the life of the consent in question.
The applicant sought to commence works in June 2024 and as such on review of the case
file and the details noted above, it was concluded that the consent was not implemented
prior to the expiry date. A temporary stop notice was issued on 16th August 2024.
In light of all of the above, the applicant has chosen to submit a Section 42 application which
seeks to modify conditions attached to the original consent. In this regard, it is significant to
note the circumstances in which this Section 42 application has been submitted.
Planning consent 19/0444/PP was granted without a period of implementation being
specified as a condition. In such circumstances Section 58 of the Town and Country
Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (as it existed on the day of the grant of planning permission)
provided that where no period of implementation was specified in a grant of planning
permission then a statutory period of three years for implementation would apply. The
statutory period of three years was to be treated as a condition only in respect of Sections
43A(8)(b) and 47(1)(a), (3) and (4)(a) of the 19997 Act. In effect this means, at least for the
purposes of a Section 42, the previous permission was not granted subject to a condition as
to the time within which the development to which it related was to be begun. In turn this
means Section 42(4) does not apply in respect of the now lapsed permission, and therefore
it enables a Section 42 application to be submitted and considered.
Pre-Application Consultation with Officers
The Scottish Government strongly encourages constructive pre-application discussions
between prospective applicants and the planning authority. Pre-application discussions seek
to identify key planning considerations at an early stage and help inform what supporting
information is required to support a subsequent application.
Pre-application discussions have taken place, focusing on the commencement of
development, legality of development without discharge of conditions before expiry of
consent and the way forward including various issues which have arisen as a result.
Negotiated Improvements
Following submission, further consideration has been given to landscaping, screening,
headlight glare and drainage.
Site History
The planning history for the site is as follows; if no history is listed then planning has no
record of previous applications for the site.
Application No: 19/0444/PP
Description: Erection of residential development comprising 15 dwellinghouses with
associated access road, drainage and landscaping
Decision: Grant subject to conditions
Consultations
Chief Executive's Service (Roads Development) - No objection subject to a condition
requiring the submission of plans illustrating the provision of appropriate kerbing, screening
and levelling of land adjacent to the access road to the site.
Children's Services - No objection subject to a S75 to secure financial contributions in
respect of Park Mains High School and Trinity High School.

Page 100

Scottish Water - No response received.
The application has been publicised in line with the requirements of the relevant legislation.
The following representations were received:
Object - 12
Support - 6
Neutral - 0
The issues raised can be summarised as follows:
1. Overlooking due to lack of screening of access road
2. Pavement provision on main road is inadequate.
3. Kerbing on access road inadequate to allay any safety concerns.
4. Lack of drainage.
5. Private stone wall, not part of application site, has been removed.
6. Using private farm road for industrial use has left road in need of repair.
7. Noise levels during construction are unacceptable.
8. Having street lights directly behind properties now invades private properties with
artificial light.
9. Developers are using land not within the approved development area to dump over
burden and dirt affecting safety and wildlife.
10. Houses facing access road are too high and will result in overlooking.
11. The stamped approved plans do not reflect what is currently developed.
Policy Context
In making any determination under the Planning Acts, regard is to be had to the
development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. In this instance the
Development Plan consists of National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) and the Renfrewshire
Local Development Plan (2021) (LDP).
The following provisions of the Development Plan are considered relevant to the
determination of this application:
National Planning Framework 4
Policy 1 - Tackling the climate and nature crises
Policy 2 - Climate mitigation and adaptation
Policy 3 - Biodiversity
Policy 9 - Brownfield, vacant and derelict land and empty buildings
Policy 13 - Sustainable transport

Scottish Ministers Direction
In determining a planning application, the Council is required to provide details of any
Direction made by Scottish Ministers under Regulation 30 (Directions requiring consultation),
Regulation 31 (Directions requiring information), Regulation 32 (Directions restricting the
grant of planning permission) and Regulation 33 (Directions requiring consideration of
condition) of The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure)
(Scotland) Regulations 2013, or under Regulation 50 (that development is EIA development)
of The Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Scotland)
Regulations 2017. 
None. 
Planning Assessment
The S42 application seeks to extend the timescale of the consent through the addition of a
time limit condition and seeks to amend conditions regarding landscaping, materials and
roads requirements.  The justification for this application is explained in the introduction to
this report which refers to legislation that was in place at the time of the original consent,
19/0444/PP.   
The conditions to be added and modified are as follows: 
To reflect the fact that section 58 of the 1997 Act has been amended since the date of the
grant of planning permission, a new condition 1 is proposed, requiring that the permission be
implemented within 3 years of the date of the grant of this consent. 
Landscaping
Existing Condition 4 'Landscaping', states: 
That before any development of the site commences a scheme of landscaping shall be
submitted to and approved in writing by the Planning Authority; the scheme shall include:- (a)
details of any earth moulding and hard landscaping, grass seeding and turfing; (b) a scheme
of tree and shrub planting, incorporating details of the number, variety and size of trees and
shrubs to be planted; (c) an indication of all existing trees and hedgerows, plus details of
those to be retained, and measures for their protection in the course of development, and (d)
details of the phasing of these works;
Page 97 of 106

Page 102

Reason: In the interests of the visual amenity of the site.
To reflect the fact that the landscaping proposals previously submitted to and approved by
the Council are to be adjusted to reflect overlooking and glare concerns expressed by local
residents, condition 4 is proposed to be modified so that it makes specific reference to the
drawing which incorporates the mitigation measures that have been discussed.
It is proposed that the condition is amended to read as follows:
That before any development on the site commences a scheme of landscaping
(incorporating the measures detailed in Drawing No. [GH IR 100.22 SL-01 Rev D] available
in Document 2.1) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the planning authority; the
scheme shall include:- (a) details of any earth moulding and hard landscaping, grass
seeding and turfing; (b) a scheme of tree and shrub planting incorporating details of the
number, variety and size of trees and shrubs to be planted; (c) an indication of all existing
trees and hedgerows, plus details of those to be retained, and measures for their protection
in the course of the development and (d) details of the phasing of those works.
Reason: In the interests of the visual amenity of the site.
Facing Materials
Existing condition 6 'Facing Materials' states:
That before development starts, full details and/or samples of the facing materials to be used
on all external walls and roofs shall be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Planning
Authority. Thereafter only the approved materials shall be used in the development of the
site.
Reason: These details have not been submitted.
This application, if approved, would result in a new consent therefore an amended condition
is considered appropriate to reflect the plans and materials already considered acceptable.
It is proposed that the condition is amended to read as follows:
That all external walls and roofs within the development hereby permitted shall be
constructed in accordance with the details and using the external finishes and facing
materials shown in drawings contained in Drawings No. [A892-W05, A1215-W24, A1215-
W34, A1215-W44, A1215-W05, A1215-W14, GHG-NOR-05-ZZ-DR-A-00-1001, A1215-W54]
available in Document 2.2.
Reason: In the interests of the visual amenity of the site.
Boundary Treatments
Existing conditions 7 & 8 'Boundary Treatments', state:
That before development starts, full details of the design and location of all fences and walls
to be erected on the site shall be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Planning
Authority.
Reason: These details have not been submitted.
Page 98 of 106

Page 103

That before any of the dwellinghouses situated on a site upon which a fence is to be erected
is occupied, the fence, or wall, for which the permission of the Planning Authority has been
obtained under the terms of conditions 7 above, shall be erected.
Reason: To safeguard the amenity of future residents.
Given that the details of the design of the boundary walls and fences that are to be
constructed within the site have been approved by the Council, it is proposed that conditions
7 and 8 (which respectively required such approval to be in place before development was
allowed to commence and thereafter that the development be implemented in accordance
with the approved detail) be removed and replaced with a single condition which requires
that the walls and fences are erected in the approved locations and in accordance with the
approved design. Again, this application, if approved, would result in a new consent
therefore an amended condition is considered appropriate to reflect the plans and materials
already considered acceptable.
It is proposed that the condition is amended to read as follows:
That before any dwellinghouse situated in the site upon which a boundary fence and/or wall
is to be erected is occupied, the relevant fences and walls shall be erected in accordance
with the design details and in the locations shown in Drawing No. [A1215-BT01] available in
Document 2.3.
Reason: To safeguard the amenity of future residents.
Roads Traffic/ Safety
Condition 9 'Roads/Traffic Calming', states:
That before development starts, full details of the traffic calming measures, crossing point
and footway enhancements shall be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Planning
Authority. Thereafter the details as approved shall be implemented prior to the occupation of
any dwelling.
Reason: In the interests of pedestrian and road safety.
To reflect the fact that the roads measures previously submitted to and approved by the
Council are to be adjusted to reflect safety and glare concerns expressed by local residents,
requirements relative to surface drains, and issues raised through consultation with the
councils roads engineers, condition 9 is proposed to be modified to take these matters into
account.
It is proposed that the condition is amended to read as follows:
That prior to any development commencing, full details of the traffic calming measures,
crossing point and footway enhancements shall be submitted to, and approved in writing by,
the Planning Authority. These should include:
1. Provision of suitably retained minimum 1m wide flat shoulder verge to the outside of the
new road from Old Greenock Road to Greenhead Farm House with maximum 1in2 side
slopes in accordance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges.
2. Details of a strained post and wire fence to BS 1722 along the new curved section of
road between Old Greenock Road to Greenhead Farm House to provide an additional
temporary vehicle restraint for a period of 3 years or until the hedging matures.
3. Details of planting and or screening to prevent headlight glare from passing vehicles to
the houses beyond.
Page 99 of 106

Page 104

4. Details of connections to the surface water outfall to a positively drained network leading
to a watercourse to the approval of Scottish water.
Thereafter the details as approved shall be implemented prior to the occupation of any
dwelling.
Reason: In the interests of pedestrian and road safety.
In addition to these proposed amendments, it has become apparent that the appropriate
drainage of the site may not be achievable through connection to the Scottish Water
Network. Therefore, it is proposed to attach a further condition requiring that an appropriate
drainage assessment be undertaken and a drainage strategy submitted for the agreement of
the council in consultation with Scottish Water, prior to the commencement of development.
The following condition is proposed.
That prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved, a Drainage Impact
Assessment shall be submitted and approved by Renfrewshire Council as Planning
Authority. The Drainage Impact Assessment shall accord with the 'Council's Drainage
Assessment - Notes for Guidance'. Thereafter, the Assessment as approved shall be
implemented prior to the completion of the development and maintained thereafter to the
satisfaction of Renfrewshire Council as Planning Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Drainage Impact Assessment should include full details of the drainage strategy for the
development hereby approved.
Reason: To ensure adequate provision for drainage associated with the development.
It is proposed that conditions 2, 3 and 5 as attached to planning consent 19/0444/PP would
be reattached in their existing form.
In addition, given that this is a new application, any changes to planning policy or other
relevant material considerations also require consideration.
In this regard, planning permission 19/0444/PP was granted on the 23rd December 2019
under Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2014 and taking account of the Proposed
Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2019 which was a material consideration at that time.
The proposal was assessed as being compliant with the relevant policies and considerations
subject to conditions.
Since the submission of that application, Scotland's Fourth National Planning Framework
(NPF4) has replaced NPF3, Scottish Planning Policy (SPP) and the Strategic Development
Plan (SDP) and now forms part of the statutory Development Plan alongside the now
adopted Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2021. Therefore, the Development Plan
now comprises NPF4 (adopted 13th February 2023) and Renfrewshire Local Development
Plan 2021.
National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) provides the long-term national spatial strategy for
planning in Scotland. It sets out the Scottish Government's current view on delivering
sustainable, liveable, and productive places through the application of spatial principles.
When the application proposal is assessed against the relevant policies of NPF4, the
following conclusions can be made.
Policy 1 & 2 - Tackling the Climate and Nature Crisis/Climate Mitigation and Adaption - Policy
1 gives weight to the global climate and nature crisis when considering development
Page 100 of 106

Page 105

proposals. The application site is a brownfield site within a sustainable location which will
integrate with active travel routes and public transport and see the development of energy
efficient homes with landscaping.  As such it can be considered that the proposed
satisfactory addresses the requirements of Policies 1 and 2. 
Policy 3 - Biodiversity - Policy 3 seeks to protect biodiversity loss, deliver positive effects
from development and strengthen nature networks.  The proposal seeks to develop a
brownfield site within a residential locale where degraded remnants of past uses were
evident. The proposal includes landscaping reflective of the surrounding area and seeks to
maintain connections proportionate to the nature and scale of the development proposed. 
Policy 9 - Brownfield, Vacant and Derelict Land, Empty Buildings - Policy 9 seeks to
encourage, promote and facilitate the reuse of brownfield, vacant and derelict land and
empty buildings, and to help reduce the need for greenfield development and states that
development proposals that will result in the sustainable reuse of brownfield and derelict
land will be supported.  In determining whether the reuse is sustainable, the biodiversity
value of brownfield land which has naturalised should be taken into account.  The existing
site in this instance, has minimal biodiversity value, however it is considered that biodiversity
would be enhanced through landscaping proposals. 
Policy 13 - Sustainable Transport - Policy 13 seeks to encourage, promote and facilitate
developments that prioritise walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport for everyday
travel and reduce the need to travel unsustainably. It states that development proposals will
be supported where it can be demonstrated that the transport requirements generated have
been considered in line with the sustainable travel and investment hierarchies.  The
development proposed increases permeability with the inclusion of designated pedestrian
and cycle routes from Old Greenock Road into the site providing more convenient access to
the nearby school and other facilities.  It has been demonstrated through App ref No:
19/0444/PP, that the development encourages active travel and supports the travel hierarchy
at this location. 
Policy 14 - Design, Quality and Place - Policy 14 seeks to encourage, promote and facilitate
well designed development that makes successful places by applying the Place Principle,
taking account of the local context, characteristics and connectivity of the area.  In this
regard it has been accepted through the approval of App ref No: 19/0444/PP that the
consented development reflects the surrounding area where there is a mix of house types in
terms of age, size and design, is acceptable for this location and delivers an active street
frontage in the redevelopment of a brownfield site. The materials used ties with the
surrounding residential area whilst enabling the development to have an individual character. 
Policy 15 - Local Living & 20 Minute Neighbourhoods - Policy 15 encourages, promotes and
seeks to facilitate the application of the Place Principle and create connected and compact
neighbourhoods where people can meet the majority of their daily needs within a reasonable
distance from their home, preferably by walking, wheeling or cycling or using sustainable
transport options.  To establish this, consideration will be given to existing settlement pattern,
and the level and quality of interconnectivity of the proposed development with the
surrounding area.  In this regard the development would support local living and would have
convenient and sustainable access to a range of existing amenities, recreational facilities,
public transport hubs and places of education, all as set out in the statement submitted in
support of the application. 
Policy 16 - Quality Homes - The intention of Policy 16 is to encourage, promote and facilitate
the delivery of more high quality, affordable and sustainable homes, in the right locations,
providing choice across tenures that meet the diverse housing needs of people and
communities and states that development proposals for new homes on land allocated for
Page 101 of 106

Page 106

housing in LDP's will be supported. Within the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2021,
the site is allocated as uncoloured land in the in the Proposals map. LDP Policy P1;
Renfrewshire's Places states that within uncoloured areas of the Proposals map, there will
be a general presumption in favour of the continuance of the built form. The other aspects of
policy 16 The proposal is therefore in compliance with policy 16.
Regarding the appropriate Local Development Plan, Renfrewshire Local Development Plan
2021 is now the adopted Local Development Plan, and its policies and guidance are not
markedly different to the policies against which App Ref No: 19/0444/PP was assessed and
considered acceptable (Renfrewshire Local Development Plan 2014 & Renfrewshire
proposed Local Development Plan 2019). Only one new additional policy relative to
developer contributions requires consideration. Policy I8 states that contributions will be
sought to address infrastructure capacity, including education, that arise as a direct result of
new development. Children's Services (Education) were consulted in respect of this S42
application and have no objection to the proposed development subject to a S75 agreement
to secure developer contributions in respect of Park Mains High and Trinity High. In this
regard the terms of the Draft Developer Contributions (Education) Planning Guidance
requires to be applied. In applying the guidance a financial contribution totalling £162,400 is
required and can be broken down as £44,800 in respect of Trinity High School and £117,600
in respect of Park Mains High School.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the proposal complies with the relevant policies and
guidance of the Adopted Renfrewshire local Development Plan.
Representations
The issues raised through consultation are addressed below.
Objectors have raised concerns regarding the height of the new access road, its proximity to
existing dwellings and the potential impacts which could occur regarding safety, privacy and
glare. Although the council's roads engineers offered no objection to the access road
through their consultation response on application 19/0444/PP being satisfied with its
position, design and appropriateness within its surroundings, in discussion with the applicant
it has been recognised that these concerns should be addressed. As a result, conditions
attached to the grant of the previous consent are proposed to be amended to ensure that
privacy, safety and glare are addressed.
Drainage of the application site has also been raised. It should be noted that an additional
condition is proposed to ensure that drainage proposals for the site are submitted for the
written approval of the planning authority in consultation with Scottish Water, prior to the
commencement of development.
Regarding the height of the dwelling houses being too high, it should be noted that the
application was assessed against all the relevant considerations of the Development Plan at
the time, including heights and separation distances, and found to be acceptable. There are
no additional material considerations which would contradict this assessment which remains
valid and satisfactory.
Noise during construction is unfortunately inevitable and unavoidable, however, should it
prove to be excessive or evident at unacceptable times, Environmental Protection officers
can be asked to investigate.
Street lighting is accepted infrastructure within towns and villages and is often seen as a
necessity within residential areas.
Page 102 of 106

Page 107

There is concern that the plans submitted as part of this application do not reflect what has
been built on the site. Should this application be granted, it would in effect comprise a new
planning consent and development of the site would require to comply with this consent and
the stamped approved plans and the new and amended conditions attached. The layout of
the development and the dwellings proposed are not affected by any changes to the
development plan or other material considerations and therefore remain as originally
proposed. The new and amended conditions reflect issues raised by objectors, and seek to
ensure that their concerns have been addressed. This will be reflected in the information
required to satisfy the requirements of the new and amended conditions.
Finally regarding damage to existing private roads through commercial vehicle activity, this is
considered a civil matter between the landowners and those utilising the road in question.
Those in support of the application have welcomed the use of a brownfield site within a
residential area and the positive contribution this development would make to this area and
its economy.
Planning Obligations
The Council is required to provide a summary of the terms of any planning obligation which
is required to be entered into under Section 75 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland)
Act in relation to the grant of permission for the proposed development:
A Section 75 Agreement requires to be concluded to secure financial contributions in respect
of Park Mains High School and Trinity High School.
Conclusion
In view of the above, it is considered that the proposal would accord with the relevant
provisions of the Development Plan. There are no other material considerations. Planning
permission should therefore be granted/granted subject to conditions.
