Classification: OFFICIAL
1. Project Description
Brief: Evaluate the proposed development and creation of a singular dwelling and associated access
on vacant land northwest of Finnart Farmhouse, Feuins Road, Portincaple. 
2. Roads Response to Appeal Comments 
LRB Request: Clarification that the Roads Department have assessed the access issue in terms of
the current rules and whether it was based on SSP 2014 or SSP 2020. 
Response: The Roads assessment does not consider the ‘SSP’, which is assumed to be Scotland's
statutory planning system. Alternatively, access proposals are assessed against:
• Roads Development Technical Guidance (June 2024)
• SCOTS – National Roads Development Guide
• Transport Scotland – Roads for All
• Scottish Government – Designing Streets
