Dear Local Review Body
Thank you for notifying us of the appeal  against the decsion of Argyll and Bute Planning
Department to refuse Planning Application 24/00770/PPP. 
As a direct neighbour whose house is adjacent to the proposed site, I refute the claim by the
applicant that there are no substantive neighbour concerns regarding the application, and
I  repeat the concerns that we  made in relation to the original application which I submitted on
19th May 2025: 
Our objection relates to residential amenity and traffic/parking. 
The proposed siting of the double garage is adjacent to our property. The site proposed for the
double garage is the only flat area of the site; it will be visible from our house, garden and patio
area and will inevitably give rise to overshadowing and noise. 
The applicant owns several cars and an digger/excavator vehicle. The number of vehicles are
too many for the proposed double garage and will require to be parked - either on the property in
the environs of the proposed double garage overlooking our house, garden etc (using an electric
charging point) or on the very narrow unoffical passing place off the single track road next to the
cattle grid which is already used by cars from three households. 
Whilst this appears to be a residential application, we would be concerned if commercial
activities were to take place with the erection of additional buildings (workshops etc.) on the flat
area beside the garage as this would give rise to considerable residential amenity issues. 
There is very limited information in the planning application given about the design or siting of
the house (apart from its very different aesthetic to the other houses )  in the immediate vicinity
and we are unable to discern whether it would cause overshadowing. 
with kind regards
