1 Procedure Note The Convener summarised the procedure to be followed at the meeting of the Local Review Body (LRB), a copy of which had been circulated to members prior to the meeting. 2 Notice of Review 05.24 Consideration was given to a Notice of Review submitted in respect of the Planning Authority's decision to refuse planning permission for the erection of a two-storey extension to rear of dwellinghouse and first floor extension to detached garage at 3 Millbank Circle, Bishopton PA7 5NF (23/0713/PP) The following materials were before members in relation to the Notice of Review: (i) the Planning Authority’s submission, which included the report of handling, accompanying documents and decision notice; and (ii) the Notice of Review, together with supporting statement and productions submitted by the applicant. The Convener confirmed that the LRB required to decide whether it had sufficient information before it to make a decision on this matter or whether further procedure was required to allow the LRB to determine LRB05.24/Planning Application 23/0713/PP. It was agreed that the LRB had sufficient information before it to reach a decision. The Convener then advised that the LRB required to determine the application in accordance with the provisions of the development plan, including any supplementary guidance, unless material considerations indicated otherwise. Following consideration, Councillor Paterson in terms of Standing Order 59, proposed that the application be refused for the reasons detailed in the report of handling prepared by the Planning Case Officer and included within the papers circulated to members prior to the meeting. This was agreed unanimously. DECIDED: That LRB05.24 (Planning Application 23/0713/PP) be refused as the proposed first floor extension to the detached garage, by way of its size and positioning would be contrary to Policy 16 of NPF4, Policy P1 of the Renfrewshire Local Development Plan, The New Development Supplementary Guidance and Renfrewshire’s Householder Development Guidance as it would not be proportionate in scale and would have a negative impact on the wider streetscape.
