Dear Katie, 
Council Planning Review Body reference – 24/0016/LRB
Planning Application reference – 21/01589/PP
Erection of dwellinghouse and detached garage, installation of septic tank treatment system
and associated outfall and formation of vehicular access 
Location: Land North of Rockmount, Portincaple, Argyll and Bute. 
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has received notification from Argyll and Bute Council stating that
the above planning application will be reviewed by the Council’s Planning Review Body. 
The MOD submitted a response dated 04 November 2021 to Argyll and Bute Council raising no
objection to the proposal but advising that given the location of the house in relation to the explosive
safeguarding zone for Defence Munitions Glen Douglas and Coulport RNAD, the MOD would highly
recommend the developer considers incorporating at least 6.8mm thick laminated glass with a PVB
interlayer to the innermost pane of the windows. 
The MOD has reviewed this response in light of the review, and I can confirm that the MOD position
set out in my letter dated 04 November 2021 is unchanged. The MOD raises no objection to the
proposal. The MOD recommend the developer considers incorporating at least 6.8mm thick
laminated glass with a PVB interlayer to the innermost pane of the windows. 
I trust that the above will be taken into account during the Review consideration. Should you require
any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. 
Yours sincerely 
Teena Oulaghan 
Safeguarding Manager
