PROCEDURE NOTICE OF RENFREWSHIRE COUNCIL LOCAL REVIEW BODY 
REQUEST FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 
Proposal:  Erection of a single-storey dwellinghouse and associated works

The Applicant 
At a meeting on 30 January 2024, Renfrewshire Council’s Local Review Body (the “LRB”)
determined, in terms of Regulation 12 of the Town and Country Planning (Schemes of
Delegation and Local Review Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations 2013 (the “2013
Regulations”) that the review documents before it did not provide sufficient information to
enable it to determine the review of the above Planning Application. 
The LRB noted that the applicant had provided further clarity of mitigatory measures in
respect of the proposal relating to tree loss. Members of the LRB were of the opinion that
they did not have sufficient expertise to assess these mitigatory measures and intimated
that they wished to instruct written submissions from a person suitably qualified to make
that assessment, for example the Council’s Tree and Woodland Officer.

In accordance with Regulation 13 of the 2013 Regulations the LRB determined that the
review should proceed by way of further written submissions and by means of an
inspection of the land to which the review relates. 
This Procedure Notice, which is given under and in accordance with Paragraph 15 of the
2013 Regulations, requires the Council’s Tree and Woodland Officer to provide by no later
than 19 February 2024, a written submission to the LRB providing an assessment of the
proposal and the revised construction techniques in relation to the potential impact on
trees, specifically whether there would be a loss of trees as a result of the development or
construction techniques or whether there would be an impact on the trees which would
result in future loss of trees (the “Procedure Notice Response”) and must, by the same
date, provide a copy of the Procedure Notice Response to the Applicant. 
The Applicant will be afforded a period of 14 days from receipt of a copy of the Procedure
Notice Response to submit to the LRB written comments in reply to the Procedure Notice
Response, and if doing so, must provide a copy of those comments to the Planning
Authority. 
All responses may be sent electronically to the following email addresses:

Following receipt of the further information requested and any comments submitted, the
review application will be submitted to the next available meeting of the LRB. Notice will be
provided to all parties in receipt of this Procedure Notice detailing the date and time of the
meeting in due course.
