RENFREWSHIRE COUNCIL Application No: 22/0414/PP
CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S SERVICE
RECOMMENDATION OF PLANNING APPLICATION
Regd:26 June 2022
Applicant Agent
Mr Graham Bell
Nature of Proposals
Formation of extension to watersports storage compound with associated boundary fence, access
and road
Site
Ground A, Lochlip Road, Lochwinnoch,
Description
This application seeks planning permission for an extension to a watersports storage compound
with associated boundary fence, access and road at Castle Semple Visitor Centre in
Lochwinnoch. The visitor centre is located on the northern bank of Castle Semple loch. It is bound
by the national cycle network to the north with the village beyond.
Castle Semple comprises of the main visitor centre building with associated club house and
pontoons. There is an existing area of car parking to the southwest. The land to the northeast is
already partly used for storage, and there have been previous applications in 2012, 2018 and
2019 to incrementally expand this storage area.
The proposed development includes these existing areas plus a further area of expansion to the
northeast which will create an overall storage area of 7,500 square metres. The storage areas will
be formed by scraping back the existing grassland and laying hardcore. The land slopes gently
uphill from southeast to northwest, and gabion baskets will be used for retention where necessary
to ensure the ground can be levelled appropriately. The storage area will then be enclosed with
2.4m high Vmesh security fencing. Within the storage area there will be a mix of racking to store
the various boats and containers for other equipment. An indicative layout of the storage area has
been provided in this regard.
This application also includes road access which continues northeast past the proposed storage
areas. Although a site visit indicates that the road has already been formed.

Page 17

Informative to be added: N
Assessment
Policy ENV1 states that development within the green belt will only be considered acceptable
where it can be demonstrated that it is compatible with the provisions of the new development
supplementary guidance.
The supplementary guidance lists a range of developments that are considered appropriate within
the green belt in principle. This includes recreational uses compatible with a natural environment
setting, and tourism development.
Castle Semple Visitor Centre is a well-established location for recreational activities associated
with the loch. The storage of boats and other equipment to support these activities is a
fundamental part of the Castle Semple development, and there is already a boat storage
compound at the site. Further development of this nature will be commensurate with the waterside
setting, and will support Castle Semple as a recreation destination. The development is therefore
considered to be appropriate in principle
All developments within the green belt must thereafter be assessed against the green belt
development criteria.
In this instance there will be no loss of agricultural land and no impact on wild land.
In terms of traffic and access, the Environment and Infrastructure Service has offered no
objections to the development. As noted above the access to the proposed storage area and the
associated road to the northeast of the site has already been formed. The infrastructure does not
have a significant impact on visual amenity or landscape character and is commensurate with the
built up nature of the visitor centre.
It is not anticipated that the development will have a significant effect on public water supply.
In terms of effect on water courses from pollution risk, it is noted that NatureScot initially raised
concerns over sediment and other pollutants entering the loch during the construction period. The
applicant has therefore prepared a construction management plan to demonstrate how this
potential pollution issue will be managed. NatureScot have confirmed that they have no objection
to the development subject to the construction management plan being implemented on site
during the construction phase.
The Environment and Infrastructure Service has requested that existing connections between the
visitor centre and the national cycle network are retained. During the site inspection it was noted
that a path has been cut through the grass on the eastern edge of the existing storage area to
provide an informal link to the cycle network.
The proposed development will encroach upon this path. However, the applicant has advised that
the path can be realigned if necessary to ensure the link is retained. A condition can be attached
to ensure a plan showing the realigned route is submitted, with the route then brought into use
thereafter in a timely manner. The applicant owns the land to the north east of the proposed
storage area, and this provides flexibility for route options without land ownership constraints.

Page 18

The proposed development constitutes the managed expansion of an existing and well-
established facility. There is already a storage area at the site, and expansion of this area will not
be incongruous with regard to landscape character. There is a line of mature trees which provide
a landscape backdrop to the site. The use of the area for storage of boats is also commensurate
with the waterside location. The proposed boundary fencing also matches the fencing which
bounds the existing storage area.
Castle Semple Loch is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). As noted above
the potential impact on the loch with respect to pollution risk will be managed via a construction
management plan.
In terms of potential impact on protected species, NatureScot have also recommended that
species protection plans are prepared regarding otters and nesting birds. A condition will be
attached to ensure that these plans are implemented on site to safeguard these protected
species.
In view of the above assessment, I am satisfied that the proposed development complies with the
green belt development criteria. It is therefore considered to comply with Policy ENV1.
The above assessment has also demonstrated that the development complies with Policies ENV2
and ENV3, with measures put in place to manage the potential impact on protected species and
the SSSI designated Semple Loch.
It is noted that due to the gradient of the site the most significant earthworks will take place along
the north western boundary of the site adjacent to the row of mature trees that mark the edge of
the cycle network. A condition can be used to request further details of the earthworks and any
associated wall retention to ensure the root protection zones associated with the trees are not
impacted. This will ensure that the trees are protected during the construction process.
In view of the above, I am satisfied that the development complies with Policies ENV2 and ENV3.
Policy I3 states that new development requires to avoid areas susceptible to flooding. The south
eastern half of the site is within the flooding extents associated with the Semple Loch.
However, in this instance the proposed water sports storage compound is a water compatible use
with respect to SEPA’s land use vulnerability guidance. There is no sleeping or other residential
accommodation proposed as part of the development.
On this basis I am satisfied that the development is acceptable within the flood risk area, and is
complaint with Policy I3 on this basis.
The supplementary guidance on regional parks states that development within Clyde Muirshiel
Regional Park will only be permitted where it can be demonstrated the assessment criteria have
been met.
In this instance, the development is for a leisure use.
Nature conservation and landscape character matters have been considered above.
It is not anticipated that the development will cause significant conflict with neighbouring land
uses.

Page 19

A condition will be applied to ensure existing active travel networks are maintained. Habitat
networks will be protected via adherence to the construction management plan.
The proposed development is commensurate with the location in terms of its scale and
appearance, and there will not be a significant detrimental impact on the visual amenity of the
area.
Finally, the development does not prevent recreational access to the area. It is anticipated that the
development will enhance recreational access by improving storage of boats and other equipment
at the site.
Regarding the consultation responses not already addressed in the above assessment, it is noted
that the Environment & Infrastructure Services have requested a condition regarding the
monitoring of car parking capacity at the site.
Car parking capacity is primarily an operational issue at the site. The proposed development will
not result in the loss of any existing parking capacity, and the applicant has advised that the
development will primarily allow for more efficient storage of boats and equipment as opposed to
generating a significant increased demand which may in turn cause issues with parking. On this
basis it is not necessary to apply a condition to the permission requiring monitoring of car parking
capacity at the site.
