MINUTES of MEETING of ARGYLL AND BUTE LOCAL REVIEW BODY held BY MICROSOFT TEAMS on MONDAY, 14 SEPTEMBER 2026 Present: Councillor Kieron Green (Chair) Councillor Willie Hume Councillor Liz McCabe Attending: Iain Jackson, Governance, Risk and Safety Manager (Adviser) Fiona McCallum, Committee Services Officer (Minutes) 1. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE There were no apologies for absence. 2. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST There were no declarations of interest. 3. CONSIDER NOTICE OF REVIEW REQUEST: INVERARAY SHINTY CLUBHOUSE, DALMALLY ROAD, INVERARAY, PA32 8XD (REF: 26/0006/LRB) The Chair, Councillor Kieron Green, welcomed everyone to the meeting. He explained that no person present would be entitled to speak other than the Members of the Local Review Body (LRB) and Mr Jackson, who would provide procedural advice if required. He advised that his first task would be to establish if the Members of the LRB felt that they had sufficient information before them to come to a decision on the Review. Councillor McCabe advised that she was not familiar with the area and found it difficult to visualise where the site was from the paperwork provided. She advised that she could see both sides of the arguments put forward. She said that the mast being visible was not necessarily an issue for her but she would like to know how close it would be to nearby housing developments. She said she would not be against having a site inspection in this instance. Councillor Hume agreed that seeing something on paper was totally different to seeing it on the ground and agreed that he would be minded to support having a site inspection. Councillor Green supported the request for a site inspection so that the Members of the LRB could get a better understanding of the location of the site and how it sat within the local landscape. He also advised that it would be beneficial if the Planning Officer brought to the site inspection, plans and maps showing the location and layout of the approved housing development which will form the third phase of the wider Inveraray Masterplan (planning permission reference 24/00823/PP) along with any other proposed developments. The Members of the LRB also agreed to request from the Planning Officer appropriate conditions and reasons in the event they were minded to approve the application. Decision The Argyll and Bute LRB agreed:
