RECOMMENDATION:

In the Strathkelvin District (Finalised Draft) Plan 1995 the application site is zoned for private housing. Strathkelvin District Council previously gave a one year temporary permission to the use in order that the proposed zoning was not compromised in the long term and because of the temporary portacabin nature of the sales building.

An objection by Strathclyde University concerning land ownership has been resolved through amended plans.

It is recommended that this renewal application be approved for a temporary period of two years.

Refuse for the following reasons:

1. In the interest of the proper planning of the area in that the proposal is contrary to policy SH7 of the Cumbernauld Local Plan in that the proposed retail development would have an adverse effect on the Central Area, District Centres and Local Centres.

2. In the interest of the proper planning of the area in that the proposal is contrary to policy HG1 of the Cumbernauld Local Plan in that it would preclude the residential development of a site within the built-up area which is covered by a 6(1) approval.

3. That should planning permission be granted a precedent may be established which would make it difficult for the planning authority to refuse other similar applications.

APPLICATION NO. N/97/00168/OUT

REPORT

1. DescriDtion of Site and Proposal

1.1 The site is located on the south-east of the South Carbrain ring road. It is currently occupied by a warehouse building fronting the road with a surfaced yard to the rear. The adjacent site to the north- east, which was also occupied by warehousing has recently been cleared and to the south-west is the ambulance depot and a vacant site with development approval for a mosque. The site is separated from the railway line to the south-east by an area of mixed planting and a public footpath. Lenziemill Industrial Estate is on the other side of the railway line.

1.2 The applicants seek outline approval for a retail development on the site. They propose a maximum floorspace of 760 square metres (net), utilising the existing site access and with parking provision for 85 cars.

2. DeveloDment Plan

2.1 The site is identified for industrial use in the Cumbernauld Local Plan. This is superseded by the Greenfaulds (Greenfaulds Road) 6(1) Amendment 1995 which designates this and the adjoining site to the north-east for residential development.

3. PeDresentations and Consultations

3.1 No representations were received.

3.2 No objections were made by consultees. Scottish Power, West of Scotland Water and East of Scotland Water all made comment on the presence of their equipment in and near the site.

3.3 The Transportation Manager had no objections but commented on the need for improvements to the existing access, provision of footpaths and further details of the proposed parking. All of these matters will be dealt with under the subsequent detailed planning application.

4. fi Plannin

4.1 The proposed development would provide approximately 1250 square metres (gross) of retail floorspace. The site is easily visible and accessible from the distributor road and would also provide parking for 85 cars. The site would therfore be attractive for a small supermarket.

4.2 Whilst it is the applicants contention that the proposed development would serve only local needs, it is likely that this level of facility would attract car-borne shoppers from throughout the Cumbernauld area. The development could, therefore attract shoppers who would otherwise utilise Cumbernauld Town Centre facilities. In addition, the scale of this operation would be likely to lead to the attraction of shoppers away from other local shopping facilities at Greenfaulds and Carbrain and from the other District Centres at Abronhill and Condonat.

4.3 The provision of a small local shop within this area of Cumbernauld would be acceptable in terms of the Cumbernauld Local Plan. However, the current proposal would provide at least twice the area of retail floorspace which is provided as a local facility elsewhere in Cumbernauld. It would also differ from most other local facilities in that it would have direct access from the distributor road, rather than being located in the centre of a housing area and accessed from a residential road.

11

4.4 The proposed development is .therefore. contrary to Cumbemauld Local ,Plan policy SH7 which aims to protect the existing shopping hierarchy.

4.5 The site has a valid 6(1) approval for residential development. Policy HG1 of the Cumbemauld Local Plan presumes in favour of residential development of infill sites such as this within the existing built up area of the town. The proposal would be contrary to this policy in that the development would prevent such residential use.

PROPOSAL AND SITE

This application has been submitted by Alex Mearns, on behalf of Mr. Talakshi, for the change of use of an existing storage facility, which was formerly a hairdressers, at 1A Stuart House, Burns Road, Cumbernauld to a flat.

The building, which this application forms part of, is a 19 floor multi storey block of flats. The ground floor of the flats, of which this application forms a part of, consists of three residential premises, the application site, lift access and an internal comdor network affording access to the flats and lift. The other floors above this have a similar layout but have a residential unit above where the store is located. There is also a basement level offering access to the lift mechanism from the adjoining car parks. All methods of entering the multi-storey are by controlled access.

This proposal seeks permission to change the use of the existing store, by internal refitting and external alterations, to form a private residential flat.

The area has been zoned residential within the,Cumbernauld Lucd Plan (Adopted) 1993.

CONSULTATIONS AND OBJECTIONS

The Transportation Section of my Department has no objections to the proposed change of use.

One letter of objection from Ms. E. Christie, 11A Stuart House has been received to this proposal. The basis for her objection lies within the background to a previous application submitted in relation to this property. In September 1995 Mr. Talakshi, the applicant who submitted this application, applied to Cumbemauld Development Corporation for the change of use of 1A Stuart House from a store to a ReligiousFrayer Meeting Room. l b s application met with a considerable number of objections from the residents of Stuart House (approximately 46% of the residents objected). The application was refused on the following grounds:-

1) “The proposal would lead to unacceptable levels of noise and disturbance to residents driving unsociable hours.

2) The proposal would exacerbate existing parking problems caused by the generation of additional vehicles for proposed evening meetings.”

Ms. Christie, as the basis for her objection contends that this application is another method of achieving the ReligiousFrayer Meeting Rood She further states that she cannot see why anyone should wish to convert this property into a one bedroom flat when three are already two bedroom flats for sale in this block at “reasonable” prices. She finally concludes that the applicant has no intention of residing in this DroDertv.

3.Observationd

16

3. OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSION

3.1 The concerns expressed by Ms. Christie as regards to the proposed afteruse of this premises are I believe unfounded. The plans submitted with this application clearly show that the proposed internal layout of the premises as a single room flat. The installation of a three piece bathroom suite, a fitted kitchen and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe point to this development being used specifically as a residential flat. I would fbrther point out that the planning permission, if granted, will solely relate to the proposed afteruse being a private residential flat and therefore no other use can be permitted without the specific approval of the Local Authority.

3.2 The observations, with regards to the availability of other property for sale in the block and that the applicant will not reside in the property are not relevant observations, from a planning viewpoint, in this consideration.

3.3 I would therefore deem that this proposal is acceptable and would recommend that planning permission be granted subject to conditions.

One letter of objection from neighbouring resident Not Required

The application closely matches the development approval previously granted to Walker Homes (Scotland) Ltd on 12th March 1996. The roads layout has been changed by the omission of a chicane, the roads now being 5.5m wide throughout to take account of the Transportation Managers requirements. The houses, as with the previously approved application, are all detached 4 bedroomed two storey units although now there are only 4 house types as opposed to 5 as previously approved.

One letter of objection was received from a neighbour on the basis that the house to be erected on Plot 1 would compromise his residential

h

Reason/

amenity as it would be too close to his boundary fence and his house thus overshadowing his back garden. As originally proposed the side of the house at Plot 1 would have been 2.5m from the boundary fence with the objector. However after I took several matters up with the applicant including this one, the current revised layout has the side of the house at Plot 1 being a minimum of 7m from the side boundary which I consider to be more than ample. The objector has been re-notified about the revised layout and has not submitted an objection.

The Director of Leisure Services has objected to the proposal in principle on the basis that this heathland site is one of the few remaining of its type around Cumbernauld and supports plant life, fungi, insects and breeding birds. However the site is already allocated for housing development in the adopted Local Plan and two applications for housing development on the site have already been granted, The principle of developing this site for housing is thus very well established and I would recommend that this application be approved.

PROPOSAL AND SITE

The applicant seeks permission for the erection of a two storey detached dwelling at Plot 3, on a site adjacent to Hillcroft, Victoria Road, Dullatur.

The site was owned by Cumbernauld Development Corporation and was sold to the prospective developers in March 1996. The area was identified as suitable for residential development in the 1985 Eastern Extension Area 6( 1) Submission. The area was deemed to have potential to accommodate a maximum of three new housing Units. The site is currently zoned in the Adopted Cumbernauld Local Plan as part of the Dullatur Conservation Area.

The site sold for the development of three residential units extends to 0.56 ha and was once part of the garden ground of ‘Hillcroft’, a Grade B Listed Building. The site is also characterised by the number and diversity of mature trees. The plot which is the subject of this application extends to 0.2 1 ha. The site itself slopes rapidly towards its northern boundary.

The initial application proposed to erect a two storey, five bedroom detached villa with a double garage and storage room beneath the main living quarters. The development measures 16m x 10.5m at its widest points and would extend to approximately 235 sq.m. or thereby. The proposal however, in design tenns, did not reflect the high quality which would normally be expected in such a sensitive area.

CONSULTATIONS

The initial application proposals were distributed to a wide range of consultees, due to the sensitive nature of the site; in the grounds of a Listed Building, within a Conservation Area and the number of mature trees which will be affected by the development proposals.

No objections were received from Gas, East of Scotland Water, West of Scotland Water (Sewers), and the Department of Leisure Services.

The Department of Leisure Services did however comment that the proposals con&& insufficient details regarding the landscape treatment of the finalised development with particular emphasis on the lack of information regarding replacement trees.

OBJECTIONS

The Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland and the Scottish Civic Trust objected to the proposals in terms of design plus the quality and nature of the snishing materials.

4.0 Conclusion/

28

-2-

4.0 CONCLUSION

4.1 The observation from the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland and the Scottish Civic Trust reflected the views that the original proposals paid little heed to the setting in which the proposed development would be erected. Whilst the massing and vertical emphasis of the on& proposals were deemed appropriate for this plot, the style of the building and the elevation treatment were totally alien to its surroundings. These views were the subject of detailed discussion with the applicant, who has submitted a completely revised house type which, in terms of the location of the development, adopts a more sympathetic treatment with regard to the style and elevation treatments.

5.0 CONCLUSION

5.1 The proposed alteration to the designs and the number of elements of the original submission which have been improved now secure a more sensitive treatment to this development. I would therefore recommend that this application be granted planning permission subject to conditions which cover the implementation of the scheme as agreed with the applicant.

SITE AND PROPOSAL

The application site is covered by Shopping Policies SHl-4, 8, as defined by the Cumbernauld Local Plan 1993.

The proposal is for the change of use of a retail outlet (Price Rite) to a hot food take-away at Unit 11 , Abronhill Shopping Centre, Abronhill, Cumbernauld. This will include a kitchen area and back shop; a store; a food preparation area; a public area and a servery.

CONSULTATIONS

West of Scotland Water (Sewers), The Transportation Manager and Environmental Services advised that they have no objections to the proposals for the change of use to a take-away outlet.

OBJECTIONS

Following the advertising of the proposal in the Cumbernauld News and Kilsyth Herald on 6th. August 1997, two letters of objection were received from Abronhill Housing Association Ltd., Unit 10, Abronhill Shopping Centre, Abronhill, Cumbernauld and Abronhill & Arns Community Council.

The Abronhill Housing Association Ltd are located directly adjacent to the application retail outlet.

The Housing Association and the Community Council are both opposed to this proposal primarily because of the security issue of the Shopping Centre, highlighting that a security roller shutter door would have to remain open late at night to gain access to the hot food take-away. The other issues of objection highhghted were that the current litter receptacles would not cope with the litter deposited; the cooking odours permeating to surrounding areas and also that Abronhill is amply served by fast food outlets.

CONCLUSIONS

Following discussions with the agents who manage the Centre it has been agreed that a condition be inserted that the inner shutters at either end of the Centre, illustrated by A and B on the enclosed plan, are securely shut and locked between the hours of 7.00 p.m. and 7.00 a.m.

As a consequence of the shutters being securely locked, there will be no access to any other of the shop units within the Centre between those hours. The outer shutters at the take-away’s end would be open for access purposes solely to the side entrance of the application site.

The issues of litter receptacles and food odours are the concern of our Environmental Health Department, who in the consultation offered no adverse objections to this proposal.

Nevertheless, I have recommended that a condition conceming the submission of further details of the flue be submitted, as the proposed pIans do not clearly indicate how these matters will be handled;

The issue of Abronhill being amply served with take-away outlets is I perceive an objection on trading grounds rather than planning grounds and therefore does not merit a reason for refusal.

I am of the opinion that whilst there have been letters of objection submitted, none of the issues raised, merits reksal of the application and appropriate conditions have been recommended. Therefore, I would recommend that planning permission be granted subject to conditions.

RECOMMENDATION:

Although the proposals involve the loss of 19 car parking spaces, the Transportation Manager has no objections to the proposal.

At present the premises do have a considerable area of car parking, making the building appear somewhat stark in appearance. These . proposals should help to cut down on the isolated nature of the building and integrate it better into the site. The landscaping proposals should also help to reduce the rather untidy appearance of the site. I would therefore recommend approval.

RECOMMENDATION:

The application is for the erection of a dwellinghouse on a site at Barbegs House, Constarry Road, Croy. The same site was previously the subject of an outline application in 1990 and while this has lapsed the principle of development and the conditions imposed are still relevant.

One objection from a neighbour has been received as a result of the neighbour notification process. This relates to the mature trees currently located on the boundary of the site and their property. It is not, however, considered relevant to place any conditions on the consent connected with these trees.

The design of the dwelling and use of material is appropriate for this location and the parking requirements have been met. It is therefore recommended that planning permission be granted.

Grant subject to the following conditions:-

1. That the development hereby permitted shall be started within five years of the date of this permission.

Reason: To accord with the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997.

2. That before development starts, full details andor samples of the facing materials to be used on all external walls and roofs shall be submitted to, and approved by, the Planning Authority.

PROPOSAL AND SITE

This is a detailed application is for the erection of a dwelling on a site adjacent to Barbegs House, Constarry Road, Croy. There was previously an outline consent for a dwelling on this site (ref: CN/90/160) however this has since lapsed.

The proposal area lies within a Designated Countryside/Green Belt land use policy area as defined by the Kilsyth Local Plan adopted April 1983. In addition, the site is covered by Residential Policies HG3-5, as defined by the Kilsyth Finalised Draft Local Plan approved January 1996. The principle of residential development has already been established at the outline stage and there have bee no change in circumstances since this time.

The design of the house, materials to be used and layout of the site accords with the conditions placed on the approval at the outline stage. The proposed dwelling is located on the raised section of ground and a driveway and garage accommodating 2 cars is proposed.

CONSULTATIONS AND OBJECTIONS

The following bodies were consulted in relation to this application; East of Scotland Water, West of Scotland Water and the Coal Authority. No replies have been received to date.

Two letters from neighbouring residents have been received. While one neighbour is objecting and the other is not, both of the comments relate to the trees currently surrounding the site. They contend that the trees are blocking light to their dwellings. These trees are not covered by a Tree Preservation Order and were not identified for specific protection at the outline stage. It is not considered appropriate to place specific conditions relating to the trees. While it is appreciated that some of the neighbours have concern about these trees, it is generally viewed that mature trees contribute to the amenity of an area.

CONCLUSION

Although the outline consent has lapsed it is still relevant to this application as there have been no changes of circumstances since this time. As highlighted in this report, the design of the dwelling is in keeping with the site and surrounding area and the parking requirements have been fulfilled. It is therefore recommended that planning permission be granted.

SITE DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSALS

The application site lies on the north side of Earlston Crescent, close to the junction of Earlston Crescent and Cambroe Road, and consists of a modem two storey 8 apartment detached dwellinghouse, located within a well established residential area.

The proposals involve the part use of the dwellinghouse as a childrens day care nursery. As such it is proposed to use five of the rooms within the dwellinghouse, four on the ground floor and one on the first floor, as playroom accommodation between the hours of 0730 and 1830, with the rooms involved reverting to residential accommodation outwith said hours. As and when required the rear garden area would be used for outdoor play in connection with this proposed use.

The proposals also involve the formation of an additional 3 no. parking spaces within the front garden of the dwellinghouse.

ASSESSMENT

Under the terms of policy HG9 (B) of the adopted Monklands District Local Plan 1991 it is stated that within existing residential areas developments of an ancillary nature (including nursery schools) may be permitted, subject to such developments satisfying considerations such as amenity.

Further to the terms of policy HG9 (B) the adopted Monklands District Local Plan 1991 contains specific design guidance relating to the formation of (private) nurseries. said design guidance indicates that: proposed nurseries should not be located next to existing nurseries (no such nurseries exist nest to the application site); that nurseries should not have an adverse effect upon existing residential amenities (no such effects in my opinion would arise in this case); the proposed premises should not lose their residential character (no physical alterations are proposed under this application); that the nursery provision should be secondary to the residential use of the property (given the proposed hours and parts of the building involved I am satisfied that this will be the case); and, off-street parking can be provided to the required standard (I am satisfied that this can be achieved).

When assessed against the terms of this specific guidance I am satisfied that this proposed development complies with the requirements of same, in particular I would note that the proposed development can accommodate the required levels of off-street parking, and that the use will not result in the creation of a situation that will affect the established amenity of this locality.

On the issue of the provision of the required off-street parking spaces I would note that whilst the provision of same will result in the hard standing of the entire front garden area I am satisfied that, subject to consideration of the materials to be used, said works could be implemented without adversely affecting the amenity of this locality.

RECOMMENDATION

In view of the foregoing I would recommend that planning permission be granted in respect of this proposed development.

The applicant seeks to renew a temporary planning consent for the retention of a snack bar located to the north of the Jet Petrol Station, Stirling Road, Airdrie. Whilst it is noted that temporary consents have been granted in the past it is my view that a snack bar at this location would be detrimental to road safety. There is no provision for heavy goods vehicles within the site and the HGV drivers using the facility have caused damage to the footway by parking on it. If measures are taken to prevent footway parking, large vehicles would park on the roadside thereby reducing the camageway width resulting in approaching vehcles overtaking on the wrong side of this busy trunk road. In view of this it is recommended that the application is refused planning permission on road safety grounds and that appropriate steps are taken to ensure the existing snack bar facility is removed from the site.

Refuse for the following reason.

There is ins&cient parking provision for heavy goods vehicles in or around the application site which results in vehicles parking on the public road to the detriment of road safety.

SITE AND PROPOSAL

The applicant seeks to renew a temporary consent for the retention of a snack bar located to the north of the Jet Petrol Filling Station, Stirling Road, Airdrie.

The application site relates to an area of flat hardstanding measuring 10 mz and is situated near the entrance to the petrol station. There is parking provision for approximately 3 no. vehicles immediately adjacent to the site. However these do not appear to compromise access to the petrol station or to the depot located to the rear.

The site is bounded to the north by rough grazing land, to the east by a disused railway line, to the south by the petrol station and to the west by the A73 trunk road.

The proposed snack bar consists of a mobile trailer with exterior gas fuel tanks and provision is made for litter collection. The trailer is removed from the site each day.

CONSULTATIONSLREPRESENTATIONS

No objections were received from NTX Environmental Services and no representations were received during the prescriptive neighbour notification period.

Although the proposal was advertised as a bad neighbour development in the Airdrie and Coatbridge Advertiser on 8 July 1997, no representations were received.

OBSERVATIONSKONCLUSIONS

The previous planning consents are dated 23 April 1993 and 28 April 1995 and temporary planning consents were granted at these times as the development raised no sigmficant problems with road safety issues. As Members will be aware temporary consents are granted for such proposals to enable the Council to review the position as circumstances change.

Notwithstanding the previous consents relating to this development, it is my view that the continued location of a snack bar at this site would be detrimental to road safety. The level of use has escalated and the snack bar now attracts business from passing HGV drivers. There is no provision for heavy goods vehicles (HGV) within the site and HGV drivers using the facility have caused damage to the footway by parking on it. Even if measures were taken to prevent footway parking, large vehicles would park on the roadside thereby reducing the carriageway width resulting in approaching traffic overtaking on the wrong side of thls busy trunk road. In view of this it is recommended that the application is refused planning permission on road safety grounds and that appropriate steps are taken to ensure the existing snack bar facility is removed from the site.

INTRODUCTION

Planning permission is sought to renew a previous planning permission for the erection of a house in the rear garden ground of 36 Queen Victoria Street. Airdrie. The previous proposal was refused by the former Monklands District Council but was granted following an appeal to the Secretary of State for Scotland (Application No. W295).

APPLICATION SITE

The application site is located within the rear garden area of the house at 36 Queen Victoria Street., Airdrie. The site however has direct frontage onto George Street adjacent to No. 4 1.

The garden ground of the existing house extends to an area of 3 1 5mZ whilst the application site measures 210m2 . The existing house retains a substantial amount of private ground on both sides, approximately loom2.

Access to the site is taken directly from George Street.

PLANNING POLICY

The application site is covered by three policies of the Adopted Monklands District Local Plan 1991; namely HG9, ENVW1 and ENV16/E/F/G. These are outlined as follows:

HG9: Housing Policy for Existing Residential Areas. This allows for new development that is related to housing or is clearly ancillary to housing.

ENVlY1: Conservation Areas

This policy identifies the area as being the “Airdrie Town Centre and Victoria” Conservation Area.

ENVl6: Conservation Area Improvements.

The terms of this policy give detailed guidance on the consideration of applications for planning permission for development within Conservation Areas. Sections E, F and G relate to this case. Section E has the most relevance and reads:

E “In determining applications for deve lopment within Conservation Areas, the District Council will pay regard to the height, scale, materials, roof lines, building lines, detailing, colour, overall character of the proposals, and the character of the surrounding buildings which it is desirable to maintain and enhance. ’’

REPRESENTATIONS

One letter of objection has been received from the neighbour at 4 1 George Street, and has been submitted through her solicitor, Bell, Russell and Company. The objections are expressed as follows:

i) The new house is to be built close to the boundary with No 41. There are several windows within the property at No. 4 1 which overlook the plot and the neighbour feels that there will be a detri- mental affect on the privacy of her property.

ii) The driveway to the new house is adjacent to the driveway for No. 41 and this will lead to parking problems.

iii) A new house built between two traditional houses will adversely affect the,character and the value of her property and the character of the Conservation Area generally.

ASSESSMENT

As previously stated above this proposal relates to a previous planning permission which was deter- mined by the Secretary of State for Scotland in 1989.

The former Monklands District Council refused planning permission for a bungalow on the site because it was proposed to build the house entirely from facing brick and with a modem roofing material which would have adversely affected the character of the Conservation Area.

The applicant at the time submitted an appeal to the Secretary of State for Scotland. The Appeal was successful and planning permission was granted subject to a range of conditions that restricted the development in terms of the external facing materials and overall design of the house.

This development was never undertaken and since then the ownership of the property has changed. The current owner has chosen to resurrect the proposal and has submitted an application for planning permission for a development based on the conditions outlined in the previous appeal decision.

The design of the new house is generally acceptable although there are a few minor points regarding detailed design matters that I would wish to change or clarify. This can be done by way of planning conditions.

The neighbour’s main concern appears to be regarding any loss of privacy to her property. The new house will be built 1.0m from the boundary between the two properties and approximately 2.5m from the house at No. 41. The properties, however, are divided by a 2.4m high stone boundary wall. The new house will be single storey with rooms in the attic space, therefore there will be no upper floor windows overlooking No. 4 1. Furthermore the ground floor windows on this elevation will serve a kitchen, bathroom and garage and will be below the height of the existing boundary wall. I do not consider that there will be any loss of privacy to the neighbouring house at 41 George Street.

A further concern expressed by the objector was over the position of the access. It was felt that the access was too close to the access to No. 4 1 and would cause congestion problems. Further to this I was concerned that vehicles existing the site would have little or no view of pedestrians using the footpath. In response to this, I have recommended a condition be imposed on the planning permission that ensures the access to the new plot be formed as a widened shared access with the existing house on 36 Queen Victoria Street.

In terms of the design of the house and the character of the Conservation Area, I have already pointed out that the house has been designed in accordance with the conditions laid down by the Secretary of State in the previous appeal decision.

There are a number of modem houses that have been built on the south side of George Street and I consider the design of this house to be more suitable for the Conservation Area location than m y of those previously built within the area. The house is to be built with materials to match the existing house on 36 Queen Victoria Street. I do not consider that this development will have a detrimental effect on the character of the Conservation Area.

CONCLUSIONS

The proposal to erect a house within this plot accords with the policies of the Adopted Monklands District Local Plan 1991 and will not adversely affect the character of the Airdrie and Victoria conservation Area. I therefore recommend that planning permission be granted subject to the condi- tions on the attached sheet.

COMMENTS Outline planning permission is sought to erect a house on a small plot of land at the rear of an existing house at 40 Springfield Road, Salsburgh.

The proposed house plot is to be accessed directly from the B7066. The road at this point has a 60mph speed limit and direct frontage access would be detrimental to road safety. There is no other way to access the plot.

Having assessed the proposal against the policies of the adopted Monklands District Local Plan 1991 and the road safety implications, I do not consider this site suitable for the building of a house.

For this reason I would recommend that planning permission be refused.

RECOMMENDATION

Refuse planning permission for the following reasons.

1. The proposed access to the plot, by nature of its point of egress on the B7066, would be detrimental to road safety at this locus and would set a precedent for other d e direct frontage accesses on to the B7066.
