I wish to comment as follows on the representations from Argyll & Bute Council on the Statement of Case, Review reference 22/0002/LRB dated 26 April 2022. I wish to reiterate that it is imperative that a site inspection is carried out. The image taken from Google Maps shows the previous building on site in 2009 and the Members of the Panel will see that it was far longer than the building under Review. It was clearly an eyesore and in a dangerous condition and demolition was the only solution. When the reasons for requesting a Review were lodged the exact use of the agricultural shed was indicated. Photographs showing the implements to be housed in the shed were lodged as Document 3. If the Members of the Panel carry out a site inspection they will see the three tractors, baler, mower, baler wrapper, trailer, excavator and other items lying on the croft. The Conclusion of the Statement states that the introduction of the agricultural building results in an adverse impact on the site. When the Members look at the Google Map picture of the previous shed they will see that the previous building clearly had an adverse impact on the site. Document 4 shows that the shed is not situated in front of the dwelling house “Viewfield” and Document 5 shows a large shed in front of the annexe. The Statement of Case states on Page 1 that the determining issue concerns the building having an adverse impact on the site. The site is an industrial site and the previous building clearly had an adverse impact on the site. The part retrospective building is far enough away from the existing dwelling houses and public road to not affect the amenity levels and the Documents produced illustrate that point. The Panel should also note that HIAL do not object to the height of the building and that the Road Engineer has lodged no objections to the positioning of the building beside the road. There were no objections from the Community Council or Tiree Trust. Planning Permission 20/00273/PP relates to an agricultural building within the applicant’s land holding which is live. The position of the building under Review

allows more room for manoeuvring of machinery and equipment and is sited so that it is better protected from the wind and rain. I therefore submit that the application for Review be granted after a site inspection.
