Report by Chief Planning Officer Planning and Climate Change Policy Board: 5 November 2024 Reference No 23/0565/PP Application Type Planning Permission Proposal Erection of 25 retirement flats with communal facilities and the conversion of c listed former chapel into 5 retirement flats with associated roads, parking and landscaping. Location St Joseph's Nursing Home, Kilbirnie Road, Lochwinnoch Ward 9 - Johnstone North, Kilbarchan, Howwood and Lochwinnoch Community Council Lochwinnoch Community Council Applicant Sitepride Ltd 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=documents&keyVal=S29ITUMWKHT00 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. Proposal This application seeks planning permission for the erection of 25 retirement flats and the conversion of a vacant C listed chapel to form an additional 5 retirement flats with associated parking and landscaping at the former St Joseph’s Missionary College and Nursing Home site, on Kilbirnie Road (A760), Lochwinnoch. The proposed development would comprise a three-storey building accommodating 25 flats on the approximate footprint of the former dormitory building, to the north of the chapel and for the refurbishment of the chapel to create a further 5 flats. The building would incorporate 14 two bed flats and 11 one bed flats and would be similar in height, scale, and massing to the former buildings which previously occupied the site. The elevation to the front would be of domestic scale with a combination of masonry elements in two finishes and a mixture of gable ends and parapet roofs of varying ridge heights. The external materials would comprise split face textured buff cast stone blockwork with buff brickwork gable bays and grey roof tiles with feature aluminium cladding to windows and balconies in dark olive-green colour. The material palette has been selected to reflect and complement the chapel building. A walled garden including a tower feature to the west of these buildings would be fully restored to act as an open space amenity area for use by residents. Car parking is to the front and side of the development which will include accessible/disabled spaces and double electric vehicle charging points. Access would be as existing which is by way of a private single tarmacked road from the Kilbirnie Road (A760). The access road would be upgraded to incorporate a footpath on its northern side which would link with existing footpath provision on the A760 providing improved pedestrian access to the village. The properties proposed are earmarked for retirement purposes and as such marketed exclusively to over 55s. Site Description

The application site extends to 1.98 hectares and is located on the southwestern edge of Lochwinnoch. Immediately to the north, the application site is bounded by a series of single storey buildings forming the Forest View Primary School beyond which Corsefield Road links back to Lochwinnoch. Further to the northeast there is an area of open land which is currently the subject of a planning application for residential development (19/0766/PP). To the east are landscaped grounds under the ownership of the applicant which extend to the A760 Kilbirnie Road and comprise mature woodland and shrub planting. To the south is an area of open land, also under the ownership of the applicant which extends to Auchenhean Road. The site lies within the southern boundary of the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park The site originally accommodated an early 19th century mansion house known as Garthland House. This was sold in 1935 to the Mill Hill Foreign Missionary Society when it became the St Joseph’s College for Missionaries. At that time the house was extended to the north with the addition of a three-storey dormitory block and further extended in 1943 with the addition of a chapel. The seminary closed in 1985 and a Nursing Home use was established. The Nursing Home closed in 2005 and the buildings have since seen a rapid deterioration being subject to vandalism, theft and arson rendering them unsafe and requiring selective demolition. Currently, only the Dormitory Block and Chapel, both C listed, remain standing both in poor condition. Due to its severely compromised condition, listed building consent was granted for the demolition of the Dormitory block in 2020. The chapel building is in slightly better condition albeit identified as a Building at Risk in the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland. The western part of the application site comprises a former walled garden and tower feature, associated with the original dwelling which existed on the site (Garthland House). The walled garden is elevated relative to the ground on which the chapel and former dormitory building stand. The garden has not been maintained for many years and is also in a poor state of repair. 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 Changes to the proposal have been negotiated including improved parking provision, and pedestrian connections from the site to village and station.

Submitted Reports and Assessments
Page 5
In assessing and reporting on a planning application the Council is required to provide details of any report or assessment submitted as set out in Regulation 16, Schedule 2, para 4(c) (i) to (iv) of the Development Management Regulations. The following reports and assessments have been submitted in support of the application. Transportation Statement – An accessibility review was undertaken which confirmed that the site has good accessibility and provides future residents and visitors with the opportunity to undertake informed and sustainable travel choices. It also confirmed that the traffic generation from the proposed development would be minimal and would have no material impact on the safe operation of the local road network. It states that car parking provision would be provided in accordance with Renfrewshire Council parking standards for both residents and visitors. Drainage Strategy Report – It states that foul sewerage from the development will be conveyed to the package treatment plant and discharged to an existing connection. Surface water run- off from areas of new external hardstanding would incorporate SUDS measures to treat and attenuate the surface water run-off to the agreed discharge limits and source control SUDs features would be provided in line with the SEPA Simple Index Tool. Flood Risk Assessment - The report states that all sources of flood risk (rivers, surface water, sewers, groundwater and artificial sources) have been assessed. It concludes that through the development of the site and the upgrade to the local surface water drainage arrangement, any local surface flooding issues would be improved. Preliminary Ecological Appraisal and Bat Survey Report – The report concludes that habitat loss would be limited given development work will be predominantly located within the footprint of existing buildings and hardstanding. It is recommended that small scale vegetation loss shall be mitigated through such measures as retaining existing vegetation and enhancing where possible and compensatory planting should be undertaken where this is not possible. Native tree and species rich grassland planting should be used. In addition, a Tree Protection Plan, Landscape and Ecological Management Plan and Invasive Species Management Plan should be prepared and implemented. Tree Survey Planning Report – The Tree Survey inspected 59 individual trees, with an age range between 20-138 years (estimated). Some of the trees are within the main impact area of development and others will require protection during construction. The trees comprise 21 species featuring 5 magnificent mature (A category) trees, two Giant Redwoods, one Coast redwood, and Western Hemlock and one Beech. Sixteen trees require removal on health and structural condition grounds, and three on removal for development. The 3 trees requiring removal due to development are category C Lawson Cypress. Design & Access Statement – It is stated that the design proposals have been developed with Design Quality and Placemaking considerations at the forefront of the design process. As a result, it is professed that the submitted development proposals respond sensitively to the existing site context, providing a distinctive retirement development that creates a positive contribution to the local parkland context. 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 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. Policy 8 seeks to encourage, promote and facilitate compact urban growth and sustainable development. In so doing the policy aim is to ensure that the character, landscape, natural setting, and identity of settlements is protected and enhanced. It states that acceptable uses/development include the intensification of established uses and the re-use, rehabilitation, and conversion of historic environment assets. While the proposal does not fully conform with either category it is evident that the proposal seeks to rehabilitate the listed buildings on site insofar as this is achievable. Furthermore, development is proposed on a site which accommodated a variety of buildings and various residential uses until their decline in 2005. The predominant part of this proposal would therefore be new build, however, the setting and mature landscaping of previous buildings remain and the building proposed is within the previous building footprints. Consequentially, the proposal would assist in saving a heritage asset while having little impact on the site and surroundings. It would in effect enhance the site and its setting. The application site is covered by Policy ENV 1 of the Adopted Local Development plan which raises similar considerations to the policy above. As such it is considered that the proposal would also comply with spirit of Police ENV1. Policy 9 relates to the reuse of brownfield, vacant and derelict land and empty buildings. The chapel building has been vacant for a number of years and is in a state of disrepair. The proposals would bring the chapel building and surrounding land back into use utilising existing infrastructure and would provide 30 new flatted dwellings within an established setting in what has always been a type of residential area. As such, it is considered that the proposed development can be considered in accordance with policy 9. The development of the site for residential use would therefore comply with the development plan in principle. However detailed consideration of the proposed development against the provisions of the New Development Supplementary Guidance and the Residential Design Guide is required. These documents set out a range of considerations that form the basis of good places design. Each consideration will be assessed in turn. Context and Character With regard to the context and character of the development, the land use is appropriate for the location which has historically accommodated forms of residential development and the development proposed has sought to be contained predominantly within the footprints of former developed areas while reflecting the bulk, massing and design elements of previous buildings. Due to the previous use of the site, adequate services and infrastructure are mostly in place to serve the proposals. Sixteen trees require removal on health and structural condition grounds, and three on removal for development. The 3 trees requiring removal due to development are category C Lawson Cypress and a landscape plan for the site would include native tree and species rich grassland planting. One other key landscape feature within the site is the remnants of the walled garden established when Garthland House occupied the site back in the early 19th century. It has seen a rapid decline over the years and particularly since 2005. The proposal
Page 7
seeks to re-establish, re-build and renovate this landscape feature including a diverse landscaping plan. Landscaping for the wider development would also be provided and details can be considered through the imposition of an appropriate condition. It is considered that the proposal would be sympathetic to the character and appearance of the surrounding area while vastly improving its landscape character which would be complimentary to other residential properties within the vicinity of the site. Overall, the development is considered to adequately address its location in terms of context and character as set out within the Supplementary Guidance and to satisfy the requirements of Policy 6 of NPF4. Access & Connectivity Policy 15 advocates local living to encourage connected and compact neighbourhoods where people can meet most daily needs within a reasonable distance of their home. Policies 13 and I1 advocate good accessibility and connectivity to walking, cycling and public transport. The site is located on Kilbirnie Road, within the former St Joseph’s seminary site on the southwestern edge of Lochwinnoch and lies to the northeast of the A760 Newton of Barr. The site is well placed in relation to walking, cycling and public transport access within Lochwinnoch, with the village and local amenities being within the 20-minute neighbourhood as specified within National Planning Framework 4. The development proposals would integrate with existing walking and cycling infrastructure in the area and provide access to public transport. This would ensure that residents and visitors are given the opportunity to make travel choices and could be encouraged to travel by sustainable modes. In this regard the development will connect to the existing walking facilities on the A760 Newton of Barr which in turn provide a pedestrian link directly into the village. The existing footpath on the northern side of the A760 Newton of Barr would be upgraded as part of the proposal to create a safe and direct pedestrian route into the village. This route is already provided with street lighting also providing direct access to the closest bus stop in Main Street. Access to the development would be taken from the existing access on the A760 Newton of Barr which provides a standard priority junction within the 30 mph speed limit. The existing access is provided with appropriate width to allow two cars to pass at the entrance and sightlines from the junction are provided in line with the Roads guidelines with appropriate visibility splays in each direction. The access road to the development would be improved with a pedestrian footway provided on one side which will in turn connect to the existing footway on the A760. The access road is currently provided with semi-informal passing places which will be upgraded and formalised as part of the development proposals. Parking for the proposed development should be provided in accordance with Renfrewshire Councils parking standards with 1 space per flat and 0.25 visitor spaces provide for each flat. This results in an overall provision of 57 spaces which includes 8 visitor spaces. This would be provided mainly to the front of the development within an existing parking area; however, provision has been made for an overspill car park when required. Three parking spaces would be accessible spaces with a further three spaces provided as Electric Vehicle Charging spaces (EV spaces). The potential also exists for covered cycle parking and charging points. The parking provision for the site and its overall distribution would be dealt with through a condition attached to any planning permission granted. As such, it is considered the site offers suitable sustainable transport options to satisfy Policy 13, 15 and I1. The Council’s Chief Executive’s Service (Roads Development), have, subject to conditions, offered no objection to the proposal.

Layout and Built Form The residential character of the area has been well established over the years with a variety of residential type uses having occupied the site. Previous developments accommodated a mix of residential scales, with a wide variety in heights and building forms. The proposed development, although introducing a physical change to the site, seeks to reflect previous layouts and scales of development and its surroundings taking particular account of the C listed chapel building which remains on the site, and which forms an integral part of this proposal. It is noted that the building was previously used as a nursing home and the layout is on balance, considered acceptable in achieving an acceptable level of amenity for the flats. Overall, it is considered that the layout and built form would be acceptable and would not have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the development and surrounding area. As such it is considered that the development would comply with Policies 7 and ENV3. Environment and Community Policy ENV2 and the associated Supplementary Guidance seeks to ensure that development proposals protect, and where possible enhance our natural assets including the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park. This application seeks to redevelop a site previously occupied by a variety of residential uses over many years and one which currently accommodates a variety of ruinous buildings and degraded landscapes. The proposal would bring a site which is currently vacant and unsightly into beneficial use, clearing the debris of previous uses and providing an attractive development with reinstated attractive landscaped gardens. It would improve the landscape character and visual amenity of the immediate area including heritage resources including the chapel building and tower. The proposal would not conflict with neighbouring uses and active travel opportunities would be improved through additional and upgraded footpath provision and recreational access to the surrounding area would be enhanced. Sixteen trees require to be removed from the site on health and structural condition grounds, and three require removal to accommodate the development. The 3 trees requiring removal due to development are category C Lawson Cypress and a landscape plan for the site would include native tree and species rich grassland planting. An appropriate condition would be attached with respect to landscaping and to secure the additional tree planting. Policy 6, Policy ENV2 and the Council’s Planning and Development Tree Policy seek to ensure that due consideration is given to the safeguarding of trees as part of the proposed layout. Policy 3 also seeks to enhance biodiversity. For the reasons discussed above, and information provided within the Tree Survey and Ecological Appraisal submitted in support of the proposal, it is considered that although trees would be removed due to the nature of the works, this would be limited, and the proposed landscaping would ensure that appropriate measures would be put in place in relation to biodiversity. Buildings and Design As discussed above, it is considered that the proposed development including the demolition of the derelict building on site and renovation of the c listed chapel would improve the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The development sensitively integrates into the parkland context providing a sensitive response to scale and massing and would be in an appropriate location in accordance with Policies 14 and 16.
Page 9
It is also considered that the development would ensure the re-use of a visually prominent listed building and would have a positive impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, as such it would comply with Policies 7 and ENV3. The buildings would also have a number of measures to reduce energy use and CO2 emissions including photo voltaic panels etc. in accordance with Policies 1, 2 and I7. It is not considered that the proposal would have a detrimental impact on privacy of adjacent properties as due to its positioning and design, there would be no direct overlooking as a result of the proposal. For the reasons set out above, it is considered that the proposal would be acceptable, the re- use of the chapel building and of the former seminary site as a whole would have a positive impact on the surrounding area and would accord with the relevant provisions of the Development Plan. 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 accords with the relevant provisions of the Development Plan. There are no other material considerations.
