Planning Consultee response <DC26/021/LIC> Application for Variation of Premises Licence Lomond Sports Bar and Kitchen - 127 College Street, Dumbarton G82 1NH THE LICENSING (SCOTLAND) ACT, 2005 & TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING (SCOTLAND) ACT 1997 Reference Number: DC26/021/LIC Proposal: Application for variation of premises licence Location: 127 College Street, Dumbarton, G82 1NH Applicant: HBR(Dumbarton) Ltd Thank you for your consultation request received on 1st April 2026 for the application for variation of premises licence referenced above. The planning service is submitting a holding objection on the for three reasons: 1. The applicant is proposing a change of use from a Class 3 restaurant to a sports bar (suis generis) (retrospective) which is a material change in operation raising possible amenity concerns and will require to be assessed through a planning application. Currently the applicant is in breach of planning control. 2. Unauthorised works has been carried out to a Category C Listed building without consent and the applicant will require to submit a Listed Building Consent application to be assessed. Please note that works carried out without Listed Building Consent is a criminal offence. 3. The applicant has carried out works to the building including installing new signage which will require to be assessed through an application for advertisement consent. In regard to this, the planning service have met previously with the applicants agent in a meeting onsite dated Wednesday 18th March 2026. It was highlighted all the development and works carried out would have to be regularised through a new planning application, listed building consent and advertisement consent. However, since then there has been no response from the agent or applicant and we can only assume they are still preparing the applications for submission. As it stands, the planning issues have not been addressed and the unauthorised works and use of a sports bar does not have planning permission, listed building consent and advertisement consent. In light of the above, the planning service object to the granting of application for variation of premises licence until such times the planning position is properly regularised. I trust this clarifies our position. Kind Regards, Planning and Building Standards West Dunbartonshire Council 16 Church Street Dumbarton G82 1QL
