Dear Lynsey, 
In response to the case officer’s statement, I can comment as follows. 
It is entirely proper and acceptable for the applicant to put forward his ‘exceptional case’ as part of
this local review submission. Not only was this matter before the appointed officer in deciding on
the application, a fact accepted in the case officer’s further statement, but even were it a new
matter, which is isn’t, it is clearly material to the determination of this case, and advice in Circular
5/2013: Schemes of delegation and local reviews paragraph 25 (copy attached) would allow the
admission of the evidence in both circumstances. 
I am not sure why the time given to the case officer to consider the applicant’s case has not been
enough, as the case is reasonably straightforward, and quick to read and understand. However, if
more time is required by the case officer to consider the case that has been made, and councillors
are willing to grant that time, then the applicant has no objection to that. 
The applicant does not wish to withdraw his local review, and is keen to hear councillors’ views on
the case presented. 
The applicant has written a separate response to Mr MacPhail’s comments (copy attached).
