(6)  Description of Proposal
(7) 
Delegated Refusal
Please set out the detailed reasons for requesting the review:-
On behalf of Mr I MacArthur, I am requesting a review for the following
reasons:
1. The application site falls within an area designated for Housing in
the Local Plan
2. The site is brownfield redevelopment and should be supported as it
does not mean development in greenfield areas
3. Refusal reason is due to the current access which serves 5
properties. Transport Scotland refused permission even though in
their response to Jenni Minto, they clearly state the addition of one
housing unit will have little or no impact.
4. The junction is deemed as safe with no recorded accidents.
5. Transport Scotland approved the use of the this access for slow
moving HGV vehicles for forestry and mining operations. This
shows a degree of hypocricy.
6. It has been established that Argyll and Bute Planning could have
over-ruled Transport Scotland's objection and granted Planning
Permission. A report was commissioned by Mr MacArthur to
compliment the application and assist in demonstrating the access
junction was safe, This was ignored by Transport Scotland and
Argyll & Bute Planning.
7. The length taken, and number of Planning Officers assigned to this
case has been extremely disconcerting and upsetting for my client.
It has taken the best part of 3 years to come the decision to refuse.
