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 Chief Planning Officer has declined to
exercise delegated powers in light of the planning history which relates to the parent planning
application 20/0510/PP. 
Proposal
This proposal is an application under Section 42 to vary condition 10 (off-site improvements)
of planning permission 20/0510/PP in relation to an alternative footpath. 
Planning permission 20/0510/PP was granted on appeal by the Scottish Government on 15
July 2022 for the erection of a residential development comprising of 179 units with associated
access, landscaping and ancillary works. 
Condition 10 states the following: 
10. Prior to the commencement of development hereby approved, the applicant shall submit
for the written approval of the planning authority, full details of: 
▪ The upgrades to the core path GB/6 that runs along the western boundary; 
▪ The 3-metre footway with 0.5 metre carriageway segregation as illustrated on drawing no.
19223-SK-18; 
▪ Upgrades to the footpath to the northern footway on Caplethill Road as illustrated on
drawing no. 19223-SK-18; 
▪ The footpath that runs from the northeast of the site to Stoney Brae; 
▪ Bus stop improvements on Caplethill Road; 
▪ A signalised crossing on Caplethill Road; and 
▪ Traffic calming measures on Caplethill Road. 
Thereafter, all improvements as may be approved, shall be implemented fully in accordance
with the phasing plan for which the permission of the planning authority has been obtained
under the terms of condition 9 above.

In response to condition 10, drawings were provided and reviewed by the Council's Chief
Executives (Roads Development). 
The submitted drawings were considered to be acceptable to discharge the suspensive
elements of this condition and that the works specified in the approved drawings are to be
undertaken within and in accordance with the phasing plan approved under condition 9. 
The 3-metre footway with 0.5 metre carriageway as detailed above was illustrated on drawing
no. 19223-SK-18 and relates to a proposed path on the southern edge of Caplethill Road. The
formation of this footpath verge and associated embankment works would require removal of
all the existing vegetation within this area with the estimated extent circa 3,800m2 which
translates to close to 1 acre of removal. 
To minimise the impact on trees and ecology, the applicant proposes to vary condition 10 and
upgrade the existing cycle route further to the south as an alternative. Upgrades include path
lighting and upgrades to the existing path at Glenfield Road which also includes some
widening of the path on Glenfield Road. The upgrades at Glenfield Road would require the
removal of one overhanging tree at the southern end and the removal of a small cluster of 3
self-seeded sycamores at the northern end. 
For clarity, the applicant seeks to vary condition 10 to delete the requirement for the upgrades
to the south side of Caplethill Road and to include the proposed alternative works for the
upgrade of the cycle route and path at Glenfield Road. 
As detailed above, other pedestrian links were approved as part of this development including,
improvement works on the northern side of Caplethill Road, a pedestrian link to the east of the
site, works to the existing core path and a further pedestrian access point at the south-west
corner of the site and links on to the north of the site. Traffic calming is also proposed on
Caplethill Road and a crossing point. These remain unchanged as part of the current
proposals and condition 10 is only to be partially varied in respect of the implementation of the
footpath specifically. 
Site Description
The application site relates to an existing footpath/cyclepath (core path GB/9 and core path
SP/32) located to the south of the approved housing site which is currently under construction
(20/0510/PP).  Caplethill Road is located to the north and Thornley Dam to the south. The
Glenfield Road area of path to be upgraded is also located adjacent to existing dwellinghouses
which are located to the west. 
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 tree loss and potential impact on
ecology. 
Negotiated Improvements
No changes have been negotiated. 
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.

Consultations   
▪ Environment, Housing & Infrastructure (Env. Protection) – No objections. 
▪ Chief Executive's (Roads Development) - Object. To promote active travel and reduce car
dependency for the housing development, upgrades on the northern footway at Caplethill
Road including a new footpath to the south of Caplethill Road were considered necessary.
The consented footpath on the south side of Caplethill Road would assist is removing the
semi-rural character of the road. The proposed alternative is considered to be remote and
will require pedestrians and cyclists to travel further. Clarification is also sought where the
turning head at Glenfield Road stops in relation to the footpath and investigation and
assessment is necessary to ensure that a clear forward sightline for drivers on Caplethill
Road.

Submitted Reports and Assessments
The following reports and assessments were submitted in support of the application: 
Drawings have been submitted to show the extent of an approximate measure of tree removal
should the consented footpath on the south side of Caplethill Road be implemented. 
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
In terms of the Development Plan, the principle of the residential development (which is
partially implemented/under construction) has already been established and approved under
planning permission 20/0510/PP and this Section 42 planning application as submitted
requires to be assessed on its individual merits. The current application seeks only to vary
condition 10 (off-site improvements) to provide an alternative footpath to the consented path
on the south side of Caplethill Road and this forms the focus of this assessment. 
As discussed above, the previously consented and approved 3 metre footway with 0.5 metre
carriageway relates to a proposed path on the southern edge of Caplethill Road. The formation
of this consented footpath verge and associated embankment works would require removal of
all the existing vegetation/trees within this area with the estimated extent circa 3,800m2 which
translates to close to 1 acre of complete tree and vegetation removal. The applicant has
submitted a specific overlay drawing which shows the impact of providing the approved
verge/footpath to the south side of Caplethill Road, as per the current proposals. 
To minimise the impact on trees and ecology, the applicant now proposes to upgrade the
existing cycle route further to the south as an alternative and seeks to vary an aspect of
condition 10 to cover this. Upgrades include path lighting and upgrades to the existing path at
Glenfield Road which also includes some widening of the path on Glenfield Road. The

Page 7

upgrades at Glenfield Road would require the removal of 1 overhanging tree at the southern
end and the removal of a small cluster of 3 self-seeded sycamores at the northern end. 
Regardless of the submission of this current application, it is materially relevant to note that
the consented footpath on the south side of Caplethill Road has been approved through
condition 10 and can be implemented in the event of the current Section 42 application being
refused. As discussed above, the consented footpath would require the removal of an area of
existing vegetation/trees which would be significantly greater than the proposed tree loss for
the alternative path upgrade. Conversely, the tree loss from the alternative path option subject
to this Section 42 application would comprise of 1 overhanging tree and 3 self-seeded
sycamores which would be significantly less than the ecological impact as a result of the loss
of an area of approximately 3,800m2 vegetation/trees necessary for the consented path to be
formed. As such, it is considered that the current alternative path proposal proposed through
Section 42 more appropriately balances the need for connectivity whilst taking into account
natural heritage and ecological impacts in-line with policies 3 (Biodiversity) of NPF4 and ENV3
(Natural Heritage) of the Councils LDP than the consented path. 
To capture the previously approved off-site infrastructure works including the proposed
alternative Glenfield Road and Cycle Path upgrades, the revised condition would read as
follows: - 
That infrastructure improvements as detailed on the following drawings, as approved on
3/06/2022 including the Glenfield Road Footway and Cycle Path Upgrade, shall be
implemented only in accordance with the phasing plan as may be approved under the terms
of condition 7 above:- 
19219-100-207 A Horizontal Geometry (Northern Footpaths) 
19219-100-208 A Vertical Geometry (Northern Footpaths) 
19219-500-101 J Drainage Layout (Sheet 2 of 2) 
19219-500-201 A Drainage Layout (Northern Footpaths) 
19219-600-200 E Site Clearance 
19219-700-200 G Pavements 
19219-700-201 A Pavements & Kerbing (Northern Footpaths) 
19219-1200-200 D Road Markings 
19219-1200-201 A Signage 
19219-1400-200 C Traffic Signals 
19219-SK-36 Remote Footpath Details 
19219-SK-47 Glenfield Road Footway Upgrade 
19219-SK-43 Existing Cycle Path Upgrade  
For the avoidance of doubt this should not include clearance of the road verge or the formation
of the footpath on the south side of Caplethill Road.  
Reason: in the interests of pedestrian and traffic safety. 
Policies 13 (Sustainable Transport) and I1 (Connecting Places) seek to support development
which would improve or enhance active travel. On balance and regardless of the objection
from the Council's Chief Executive's (Roads Development) in this regard, the issues raised
can, to an extent be overcome by existing proposals and infrastructure, and on balance it is
considered that the positive outcome of the alternative proposal in lessening the impact on
biodiversity, ecology and natural heritage, significantly outweighs these concerns. As detailed
above, other pedestrian links were approved as part of this development and this alternative
should not be considered in isolation. It is also considered that the proposal together with
these other consented improvements, pedestrian links and the connectivity to the existing road

Page 8

and footpath network would provide an acceptable alternative as part of the overall residential
development and would comply with polies 13 and I1. 
The issue of the hammerhead and sight lines at Caplethill Road can be considered through
the separate Road Construction Consent process. 
As the effect of granting a Section 42 application is such that a new and separate standalone
planning permission exists, all other conditions associated with planning application
25/0510/PP which would be relevant to this new permission require to be re-imposed to this
new permission. Given that the development has been implemented, and the suspensive
conditions have been previously discharged, it is also considered necessary to attach the
fulfilment and/or compliance element of these conditions and these conditions have been
reworded on this basis. It is also considered necessary to re-attach a phasing plan with
regards to off-site works with a defined timescale as a means to ensure control and fulfilment
of the path through the Section 42 application. 
A unilateral undertaking was also completed by the applicant as part of the original planning
application in respect of securing financial contributions towards replacement of playing
pitches and education provision, and the provision, on site, of affordable homes. As stated
earlier in the report, the principle of the development, including the unilateral undertaking, was
established and approved under planning permission 20/0510/PP and this Section 42 planning
application as submitted requires to be assessed on its individual merits. It is considered
necessary that a form of Legal Agreement or other mechanism is submitted to reflect the
Section 42 application should it be granted consent. 
Representations
The majority of the matters raised in the letters of representation have been addressed in the
foregoing assessment however a summary of the points raised is also set out below with a
response below each highlighted in bold. 
1. Impact on habitat, biodiversity and ecology. 
This has been addressed as detailed above and it is considered that the impact on
habitat, biodiversity and ecology would be significantly less than the impact of the
consented path. 
2. Deviation from what has already been consented. 
As detailed above, the alternative proposal has been sought to minimise ecological
impacts whilst still providing an alternative connectivity option. 
3. Not a safe route for pedestrian. 
As detailed above, other pedestrian links were approved as part of this development
and this alternative should not be considered in isolation. It is also considered that the
proposal together with these other consented improvements, pedestrian links and the
connectivity to the existing road and footpath network would provide an acceptable
alternative as part of the overall residential development. 
4. Loss of trees including those already lost as a result of the housing development. 
The proposed alternative path would have a significantly less impact on trees and
vegetation the consented path as illustrated above. 
5. Path to the north of the site not DDA compliant.

Page 9

The routes to the north fields are not being considered as part of this application and
have already been consented through consultation with the Council's Chief Executive's
(Roads Development). 
6. Housing development should not have been approved. 
The residential development was approved by the Scottish Government on appeal and
the principle of this development cannot be considered in the assessment of this
proposal. 
7. Concerns developer will not adhere to conditions. 
This would be a separate matter for the Council to consider and manage as part of the
implementation of the consent and would not be a material consideration in the
assessment of this proposal. 
8. Concerns that widening of path will impact on wildlife. 
As discussed above, the impact on habitat, biodiversity and ecology would be
significantly less than the impact of the consented path. 
9. Concerns over crossing point on Caplethill Road. 
This is not being considered as part of this proposal. Notwithstanding this, this was
considered to be acceptable by the Council's Chief Executive's (Roads Development). 
10. North side of Caplethill Road improvements not safe, safety barriers should be
included. 
This is not being considered as part of this proposal. Notwithstanding this, this was
not considered to be necessary by the Council's Chief Executive's (Roads
Development). 
11. Upgrades to Caplethill Road beyond Glenfield Road should be considered. 
The application for the residential development was approved by the Scottish
Government and upgrades beyond those that were presented in the application were
not considered to be necessary. 
12. Concerns that the path to Stoney Brae will not be delivered, potential planning breach. 
This would be a separate matter for the Council to consider and would not be a material
consideration in the assessment of this proposal. 
13. No specification on lighting. 
This can be addressed through the imposition of an appropriately worded planning
condition with a condition recommended below. 
14. Council should maintain the footpath once clearance works have been done. 
The path is within the ownership of the Council and as such would also be maintained
by the Council.

Page 10

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: 
As detailed above, a unilateral undertaking was also completed by the applicant as part of the
original planning application in respect of securing financial contributions towards replacement
playing pitched and education provision and the provision, on site, of affordable homes. A form
of Legal Agreement or other appropriate mechanism is also required to reflect this Section 42
application if approved. 
Conclusion
In view of the above, it is considered that the proposal subject to this Section 42 application
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 and the submission of a Legal Agreement to reflect this Section 42 application.
