We believe a site inspection would highlight that this proposal is located within the grounds of the existing farmhouse, on the
footprint, and within the walls of a former wing of the original building, and therefore does not result in any loss of Greenbelt
space.

NOTICE OF REVIEW: STATEMENT IN SUPPORT 
New dwellinghouse at Portnauld Farmhouse, Greenock Road, Inchinnan Renfrewshire 
PLANNING REFERENCE: 25/0633/PP 
HOBSON ARCHITECTS: NOVEMBER 2025

Page 8

PLANNING AUTHORITIES REASON FOR REFUSAL
1. The development would be contrary to Policy 8 of NaNonal Planning Framework 4
and Policy ENV1 of the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan in that it has not been
demonstrated that there is a speciﬁc locaNonal need for dwellinghouse at the
applicaNon site and there are no other material consideraNons suﬃcient to outweigh
the lack of any demonstrable locaNonal need.
2. The proposed development is considered contrary to Policy 14 of NaNonal Planning
Framework 4 and the Council's New Development Supplementary Guidance and
New
Development in the Countryside Guidance in that the development by reason of its
relaNonship with the exisNng neighbouring dwelling together with its siNng, design
and
scale would have a detrimental impact on the character, appearance and residenNal
amenity of the area.
SUMMARY/CONCLUSION
• There were no objecNons from neighbours nor from the wider public (proposals
were adverNsed).
• There were no objecNons from any of the Statutory Consultees.
• Whilst the proposals are for a new dwellinghouse, the proposals have been
deliberately sited on the footprint of the wing of the original farmhouse enclosure
and the exisNng stonewalls have been retained and incorporated into the design of
the new dwelling as indicated on the submi[ed proposals.
• This is not a new “standalone” dwelling in the greenbelt. It is a dwelling posiNoned
within the established grounds of an exisNng farmhouse complex which includes
several outbuildings, a large car workshop and established garden grounds.
• There would be no loss of prime quality agricultural land or agricultural land of lesser
quality.
• There would be no adverse impacts on the qualiNes of wild land.
• As this development is within an existing farmhouse development landscaping and
boundaries are already well established.
• There are adequate services available for the development.
• There is no significant detrimental effect on identified nature conservation interests,
including species and habitats.
• We would argue that that by siting the dwelling on the footprint of the former
outbuildings, and incorporating remaining elements into the design, they’ll be no
significant impact on the local landscape character and in fact we believe the
unashamedly contemporary design, incorporating both rural & agricultural
aesthetics will actually enhance the local character.
• The proposed dwelling is no higher than the existing farmhouse and due to its
position within the development it will largely be obscured from the approach along
the single-track road by the farmhouse in the foreground.

Page 9

• In accordance with Renfrewshire Council Supplementary Guidance on New
Development in the Countryside 2022 we believe the proposals are in keeping with
the spirit of the Guidance in that the dwellinghouse is:
“Designed and sited in a manner appropriate to the countryside and in-keeping with
the wider landscape setting”
And
“Include the use of existing trees, buildings, slopes or other natural features to
provide a backdrop and established boundaries”
And
“The development must not have a detrimental impact on the surrounding
landscape”
And
“Be high quality design including the use of traditional and sustainable materials are
required to be used” 
It is worth noNng the key text at the start of Renfrewshire Council Supplementary Guidance
on New Development in the Countryside 2022 (page 3, column 2): 
“The key test for any proposal in the countryside and green belt is to ensure that
development does not detract from the landscape character or quality and/or rural
character and quality of the area”.

Page 10

Finally, as highlighted in our Statement in Support of the ApplicaNon, we noted NaNonal
Planning Framework (NPF4) notes under policy 8 a) i) 
“Development proposals within a green belt designated within the LDP will only be
supported if they are for: 
i) the reuse, rehabilitation and conversion of historic environment assets
and
ii) the purpose of the green belt at that location is not undermined;
the proposal is compatible with the surrounding established countryside and
landscape character;
the proposal has been designed to ensure it is of an appropriate scale, massing
and external appearance, and uses materials that minimise visual impact on the
green belt as far as possible; and
there will be no significant long-term impacts on the environmental quality of
the green belt.” 
As we have tried to demonstrate through the Planning Application process, the proposals
do not undermine either the Local or National Policy on Greenbelt development and
consequently, in Planning Policy terms, the proposal can be allowed. 
On a personal note, the proposed new dwellinghouse would allow the applicants, who
currently occupy the small annex wing on the Western side of the farmhouse, to relocate to
the proposed dwellinghouse on the Eastern wing, and thereby continue to support the
elderly relatives who currently occupy the farmhouse.

Introduc8on and background informa8on 
Background 
Hobson Architects were engaged by the client in Spring 2025 to develop proposals on site of
former outbuildings at Portnauld Farmhouse, Greenock Road, Inchinnan 
Project team 
Nick Hobson BA (Hons) Dip Arch RIBA RIAS
Hobson Architects, Seacliﬀ, Eglinton Terrace, Skelmorlie, PA17 5EP 
The applicants 
Ms Karen Rodgers 
The site 
The site is on the footprint of former outbuildings on the eastern edge of the exisTng
Portnauld Farmhouse steading. 
The proposals 
The proposal is erect a new 1 ½ storey dwellinghouse on the footprint of the former
outbuildings located on the Eastern side of the Portnauld Farmhouse complex. 
The outbuilding is rooﬂess and has been for some Tme. 
The intenTon is to retain and incorporate the structurally stable secTons of the former
outbuildings and recycle any salvageable stonework from walls in poor condiTon and use
them in the new build. 
Access to the new dwelling will be via the exisTng vehicle driveway to the Southern edge of
the steading and the exisTng garden landscaping will be retained as exisTng. 
As the proposals sit over the locaTon of previous building structures there are no
requirements to remove trees.

Area Context and site analysis
Site locaVon within the broader area and local context
Portnauld farmhouse is accessed via a single-track road that runs down to connect with the
A8 Greenock Road. Inchinnan and Erskine lies to the West, Renfrew to the East and to the
South-West sits the runway to Glasgow airport, although the Farmhouse sits outwith the E5
public safety Zone (Renfrewshire LDP)
Portnauld Farmhouse in its current form is a mid-19th century, 1 ½ storey farmhouse facing
predominately South with outbuilding wings on the Western and Eastern flanks. These
surrounded a North facing courtyard with access via a gateway on the Norther edge of the
steading.
The Western wing has been converted to habitable accommodation however the Eastern
wing is roofless with only the external walls remaining.
The outer stone wall of the former outbuilding are in poor structural condition, having been
modified with more modern materials over the years. However, the inner wall, facing the
courtyard, and part of the stonewall facing North, are in much better condition.
The ground is relatively flat although the ground drops away to the North. Existing mature
garden areas run to the East and South with more hard landscaping facing the access road
to the East.
Mature trees border the Eastern and Southern edges of the farm complex however there
are no intentions to disturb of remove them under this application.
To the North a complex of barns and outbuildings are used as a garage and bodywork repair
shop.
The whole complex is owned and occupied by the same family, with the client currently
occupying the Western wing with senior family members in the main farmhouse building to
the South.
The whole site has an open aspect and sits within designated greenbelt under Renfrewshire
LDP 2014 and is therefore covered by policy ENV1.

Planning history
The site was subject to a Planning ApplicaTon for a change of use and rehabilitaTon of
exisTng stone building to form children's day nursery, together with associated car parking
and boundary treatment (03/0504/PP: 27 June 2003).
The proposals were refused as contrary to the LDP.
The site was also subject to a Planning ApplicaTon for alteraTons and improvement to
exisTng farmhouse including provision of home oﬃce, c/u & renovaTon of byre to form
house extension upﬁll to form yard/garden area, formaTon of access (90/0949/PP: 16
September 1994)
The proposals were granted.
Concepts and proposals
Architectural proposals
The overriding concept is to reinstate the Eastern wing of original farmstead and stay
broadly within the footprint of the original building.
Where pracTcal and reasonable to do so, the original stonewalls will be incorporated into
the new development with any stonework taken down recycled within the formaTon of the
new walls.
The scale and massing of the new building would respect the original farmhouse with the
ridge of the new dwelling no higher than the exisTng house. Consequently, the visual impact
from the approach road oﬀ the A8 will be minimal, further screening being provided by the
exisTng treebelt which is being retained.
The external materials for the new buildings would consist of grey metal standing seam
rooﬁng, white render with Tmber eﬀect ﬁbre cement boarding plus areas of recycled
stonework from the original walling.
The paleie is therefore a blend of contemporary and tradiTonal materials which reﬂect the
adjacent buildings within the Portnauld Farmhouse steading as a whole.
With regards layout, the primary living accommodaTon is located on the ground ﬂoor with
bedrooms at the upper level. Generally, the main living spaces face East and the exisTng
mature garden grounds, whilst secondary, support accommodaTon faces West or South.
The upper bedrooms are detailed with metal clad contemporary dormers to provide
addiTonal headroom within the 1 ½ storey arrangement.

Page 19

Planning Policy 
Portnauld Farmhouse sits within the designated greenbelt as deﬁned within the
Renfrewshire LDP (2021) and therefore is subject Policy ENV1:
• conversion and re-use of redundant buildings to residential use including residential
institutions and any required enabling development associated with listed buildings;
• extensions to existing residential units, where the original building will remain the 
• dominant part of the overall development;
We believe the proposals concord with the above principles as deﬁned under Policy ENV1 
There is also New Development Supplementary Guidance 2022 on Policy ENV1: 
• Policy ENV1 Green Belt sets out the range of uses which could be considered
acceptable in principle within the green belt. All development proposals within the
green belt will also be accessed against the following development guidance:
• There will be no loss of prime quality agricultural land or agricultural land2 of
lesser quality that is locally important in line with Scottish Government Policy;
• Any adverse impacts on the qualities of wild land are overcome by siting, design or
other mitigation;
• Traffic and access infrastructure can be sensitively accommodated;
• No significant effects on public water supply and water environment from any
pollution risk;
• The development links to the existing green network and active travel routes or
provides new enhanced routes, where appropriate;
• Proposals to protect and provide access to open space have been incorporated;
• 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;
• It can be demonstrated that there is careful consideration of the siting, design,
scale and grouping of any buildings and infrastructure;
• Appropriate landscaping proposals have been incorporated including the provision of
well- designed boundary treatment;
• There are adequate services available for the development, or this can be provided;
• There is no significant detrimental effect on identified nature conservation
interests, including species and habitats;
• All buildings for conversion are to be structurally sound and capable of conversion
without substantial rebuilding.

Page 20

We believe the proposals accord with the relevant points underlined above as
demonstrated in the drawings and informaVon which accompany the submission. 
Furthermore, Supplementary Guidance on New Development in the Countryside 2022 notes
requirements for new and replacement houses within the Countryside: 
The following provides more detailed considerations for proposals. 
Setting 
• New houses and replacement houses require to be designed and sited in a manner
appropriate to the countryside and in-keeping with the wider landscape setting;
• Proposals should include the use of existing trees, buildings, slopes or other natural
features to provide a backdrop and established boundaries;
• Development must not have a detrimental impact on the surrounding landscape;
and,
• High quality design including the use of traditional and sustainable materials are
required to be used. 
Biodiversity 
• Development must protect existing trees and areas of woodland, protecting habitats
and biodiversity; and,
• If the presence of a European Protected Species (such as a bat, otter or great crested
newt) is suspected, a survey of the site must be undertaken. 
Layout and building design 
• New development requires to be of an outstanding design quality, making a positive
contribution to the surrounding area and enhancing its character;
• Designs and finishing’s require to fit into the established landscape character and
achieve a high design standard as well as environmental quality; 
We believe the proposals reﬂect the requirements under the above Supplementary
Guidance in that we are following the historic pa_ern of development within the exisVng
farm steading, the scale and massing are in keeping with the pa_ern of development and
the exisVng landscaping and tree belts are unaﬀected by the development. 
We are using a tradiVonal pale_e of materials but in a contemporary fashion, which both
complement and enhance the exisVng buildings.

Page 21

NaTonal Planning Framework (NPF4) notes under policy 8 a) i) 
Development proposals within a green belt designated within the LDP will only be supported
if they are for: 
i) the reuse, rehabilitation and conversion of historic environment assets
and
ii) the purpose of the green belt at that location is not undermined;
the proposal is compatible with the surrounding established countryside and
landscape character;
the proposal has been designed to ensure it is of an appropriate scale, massing
and external appearance, and uses materials that minimise visual mpact on the
green belt as far as possible; and
there will be no significant long-term impacts on the environmental quality of
the green belt. 
Also Policy 29 a) vi + vii 
vi) reuse of a redundant or unused building;
vii) appropriate use of a historic environment asset or is appropriate enabling development
to secure the future of historic environment assets 
We believe the proposals accord with the relevant points note above as demonstrated in
the drawings and informaVon which accompany the submission.

Sustainability and energy eﬃciency 
The aim would be to achieve, as a minimum, an EPC rating of Band A.   To reduce heating
loads, the walls, floors and roofs of the new build house would be heavily insulated with
triple-glazed windows to minimise heat losses. 
Proposals would utilise micro-renewable technology and with potentially, specifically, an air
source heat pump providing hot water and underfloor heating. 
The design would incorporate PV panels on the South-facing roof slopes with battery
storage. 
An EV charging point will be located on the stonewalling adjacent the proposed car parking 
The dwelling would be served by foul water discharge to a dedicated sewage treatment
plant + soakaway within the garden grounds with rainwater discharge to a SuDS system. 
Both foul and surface water systems would be developed with a suitably qualified drainage
consultant at subsequent stages in accordance with Scottish Water, SEPA and Renfrewshire
Council requirements. 
Conclusions 
In conclusion we believe that the proposals to erect a new dwellinghouse on the footprint of
the former ruined outbuilding reinstates the original, historic steading enclosure concept
and therefore have no impact on the wider, designated greenbelt zone. 
The proposals retain and incorporate elements of the remaining stonewalls wherever
possible and whilst the dwelling is contemporary in its design and detailing it also respects
the scale and massing of the house and surrounding outbuildings. 
We believe the design accords with the spirit and intenTon of the Renfrewshire LDP 2021,
speciﬁcally Policy ENV1 and relevant the Supplementary Guidance plus the relevant policies
in NPF4 and accordingly the proposals should be granted Planning Permission.

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.
Proposal
This application seeks planning permission for the erection of a one and a half storey
dwellinghouse at Portnauld, Greenock Road, Inchinnan.
The proposed 3 bedroom dwellinghouse would be located to the rear of the existing dwelling
and would comprise of an 'L-shaped' layout with a footprint of approx.180sqm. The dwelling
would be finished with stone at the lower level (some of which would be recycled from the
original stonework from the walls of the previous outbuilding). The upper half of the dwelling
would be a mix of grey metal standing seam roofing, white render with timber effect boarding
and recycled stone. The dwelling would feature dormers on the north and south elevations.
The main window openings would be to the north, east and south.
Vehicular access to the dwelling would be via the existing access to the south of the existing
dwelling.
Site Description
The application site relates to Portnauld Farmhouse which is accessed via a single-track
road to the north of Greenock Road.
Roofless walls of a previous outbuilding remain on the eastern side of Portnauld Farmhouse.
The Supporting Statement submitted with the application states that the intention would be
to erect the new dwelling within the footprint of these walls and retain and incorporate the
structurally stable sections of the former outbuilding and recycle any salvageable stonework
from walls in poor condition and use the in the new build.

Submitted Reports and Assessments
The following reports and assessments were submitted in support of the application:
A Statement in Support of the application has been submitted which outlines the proposal,
policy context, design etc.
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 and 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 development complies with the overall scope of NPF4.
NPF4 Policy 8 seeks to encourage the reuse, rehabilitation and conversion of historic
environment assets within the green belt. The existing building is considered to be of a
traditional appearance and the sympathetic alterations would allow for the re-use of the
building. As such, the proposal is considered to satisfy the requirements of Policy 8 in
pronciple.
Policy ENV1 of the Adopted Local development Plan also states that the green belt in
Renfrewshire maintains the identity of settlements, protects and enhances the landscape
setting of an area and is supportive of conversion and re-use of redundant buildings to
residential use. Appropriate development within the green belt will be considered acceptable
where it can be demonstrated that it is compatible with the provisions of the New
Development Supplementary Guidance.
The New Development Supplementary Guidance specifies two primary requirements with
respect to conversion of buildings within the countryside. Firstly the Green Belt Development
Criteria states that all buildings for conversion are to be structurally sound and capable of
conversion without substantial rebuilding. Further to this, the Housing in the Green Belt
criteria states that buildings which have a special architectural, traditional or historic
character which contribute to the setting of the area may be converted or re-used for
residential where it can be demonstrated that it is no longer suitable for the purpose
originally intended, with the original building forming the main part of the development. To
establish the principle of converting the buildings into residential units, it must be
demonstrated that they meet the above criteria in line with New Development in the
Countryside 2022 Guidance.
It is considered that farmsteads and their buildings make a valuable contribution to the
character of the greenbelt and any conversion including extensions, should be sympathetic
to the original buildings in scale, design and form.  The principle of conversion is to provide
opportunities for residential development and to utilise rural buildings for the architectural
and historic interest and the contribution they make on visual impact.

Page 36

As discussed above, walls remain in place from a previous outbuilding. However there has
been no demonstration that the walls are structurally sound, nor have details been provided
on the level of retention that would be incorporated into the new development.
Notwithstanding this, it is considered that the proposed development would substantially
alter the appearance of the remaining structure and would bear no resemblance to the
original outbuilding, particularly due to the height increase and proposed design. As such,
and given that all remains are the walls of the outbuilding, it is not considered that the
proposal would be acceptable as a conversion, and the principle of development should be
considered as the erection of a new dwellinghouse within the greenbelt.
Policy 8 and Policy ENV1 of the LDP set out specific circumstances in which residential
development will be supported in principle in green belt and rural areas and includes, 
Residential accommodation required and designed for a key worker in a primary industry
within  the immediate vicinity of their place of employment; 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 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 site is not considered to be defined as wild land.
Traffic and access infrastructure can be sensitively accommodated
The Council's Chief Executive's (Roads Development) were consulted and have requested
additional information with respect to swept path analysis etc. However, given the concerns
with the principle of the development the submission of these details have not been pursued.
No significant effects on public water supply and water environment from any
pollution risk
Given the nature and scale of the proposal it is considered unlikely that it would 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.

Page 37

Proposals to protect and provide access to open space have been incorporated
The proposal would not impact on any existing access to open space.
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
It is not considered that the proposed development respects the traditional rural vernacular
of this particular site in terms of the layout, design and would over dominate the existing
dwelling at Portnauld such that it would have a detrimental impact on the character and
appearance of the surrounding area.
It can be demonstrated that there is careful consideration of the siting, design, scale
and grouping of any buildings and infrastructure
It is considered that the development would not be sympathetic or respect the original farm
steading in scale, design and form and would not reflect the traditional rural vernacular of the
existing buildings. It is also considered that a residential building of this scale within such
close proximity to the existing dwelling would have an overbearing impact such that it would
have a detrimental impact on the residential amenity of both dwellings. As such, the proposal
is considered to be at odds with Policy 14 (Quality Homes) and the Council's New
Supplementary Guidance and Development in the Countryside Guidance .
Appropriate landscaping proposals have been incorporated including the provision of
well designed boundary treatment
No details have been provided in this regard however, however details could be secured
through the imposition of an appropriate planning condition.
There are adequate services available for the development, or this can be provided
Given the proximity to the existing house, services would be available for the proposed
development.
There is no significant detrimental effect on identified nature conservation interests,
including species and habitats
There are no identified nature conservation interests.
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.
Representations
No representations were received.
Planning Obligations

Page 38

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. There are no other material considerations. Planning
permission should therefore be refused.
Recommendation
Refuse
Reason(s) for Recommendation
1. The development would be contrary to Policy 8 of National Planning Framework
4 and Policy ENV1 of the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan in that it has not
been demonstrated that there is a specific locational need for dwellinghouse at
the application site and there are no other material considerations sufficient to
outweigh the lack of any demonstrable locational need.
2. The proposed development is considered contrary to Policy 14 of National
Planning Framework 4 and the Council's New Development Supplementary
Guidance and New Development in the Countryside Guidance in that the
development by reason of its relationship with the existing neighbouring dwelling
together with its siting, design and scale would have a detrimental impact on the
character, appearance and residential amenity of the area.
Condition(s)
1. None required.
