2 Notice of Review 03.22 Consideration was given to a Notice of Review in respect of the Planning Authority’s decision to refuse planning permission for the erection of a single storey rear extension and erection of a replacement garage with studio above and installation of dormer windows to front and rear of 21 Thornly Park Avenue, Paisley PA2 7SD (21/1473/PP). The following materials were before members in relation to the Notice of Review: (i) the Planning Authority’s Submissions 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 Planning Application 21/1473/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 local development plan, including any supplementary guidance, unless material considerations indicated otherwise. Following discussion, Councillor Nicolson, seconded by Councillor McNaughtan moved that the application be refused as the proposals were contrary to the provisions of Policy P1 ‘Renfrewshire’s Places’ and Policy ENV3 ‘Built Heritage’ of the Local Development Plan, the Council’s Delivering the Places Strategy ‘Alterations and Extensions to Existing Properties’ of the draft New Development Supplementary Guidance and Renfrewshire Householder Development Guidance Planning Advice Note 2016, in that the proposed dormer window to the front was disproportionate to the rest of the property. This was agreed unanimously. DECIDED: That Planning Application 21/1473/PP be refused as the proposals were contrary to the provisions of Policy P1 ‘Renfrewshire’s Places’ and Policy ENV3 ‘Built Heritage’ of the Local Development Plan, the Council’s Delivering the Places Strategy ‘Alterations and Extensions to Existing Properties’ of the draft New Development Supplementary Guidance and Renfrewshire Householder Development Guidance Planning Advice Note 2016, in that the proposed dormer window to the front was disproportionate to the rest of the property.
