PLANNING HISTORY. 2.1 The LG Companies undertake that following the coming into force of the LDO, they will not commence any new development on the Property in reliance on any of the Old Permissions and will only proceed with the Development or such other development as may be authorised in the future by the LDO or any new planning permission.
PLANNING HISTORY. A previous application for residential development on the site was submitted in 2008 (08/00436/OUT) and ultimately withdrawn after the site was not included in the Scottish Borders Local Plan approved amendments. It was then subsequently considered and discounted during the Local Development Plan process, including rejection by the LDP Examination Reporter. It was then promoted by the land owner again as part of the Supplementary Guidance (SG) on Housing but discounted at the first stage by the Department, thus not being included in the SG as a preferred or alternative site. A further application for planning permission in principle for residential development was submitted for the field, including the site, in 2017 (17/00015/PPP). This was refused by the Council in October 2017 for the following reasons:
PLANNING HISTORY. 3.1 The proposal to regenerate the estate of approximately 36 hectares was granted outline permission 06/03680/OUT in September 2008, subject to 112 conditions, plus informatives and a Section 106 legal agreement.
PLANNING HISTORY. 3.1 The site has been used as a printing and bookbinding works. The works were automated about 1983 with around 33 employees. The business went into administrative receivership in October 2001.The number of employees fell to 12. It shut at the end of 2001 The Probation Service occupied part of the first floor with about 15 staff until February 2001. Subsequently the entire property has been vacant
PLANNING HISTORY. The current allocation for housing on the site has been through full public consultation during the Local Development Plan process, leading to designation as allocations AY1A and AAYTO003 with a combined indicative site capacity of 44 units. Four houses have been separately applied for, permitted and built within the southern area of the allocation, alongside Xxxxxxxx, dating from 2007-2011. CONSULTATION RESPONSES: Scottish Borders Council Consultees Roads Planning: No objections to the application subject to conditions. Notes the development is above the LDP indicative capacity but considers the site can accommodate the higher number of units through the “Designing Streets” compliant layout. Comments on the nature of Beanburn as the main access to the development, the narrow section at Summerhill Cottage, the existing and proposed traffic counts and the current use of the road by large vehicles and agricultural related traffic. Acknowledges the local concerns but feels that with conditions regarding localised widening, pre and post construction surveys of Beanburn/Lawfield and a traffic management plan for the construction period, there can be no objection to the use of Beanburn as the main access. Also seeks a condition to secure a pedestrian link to the school from the site to provide a safer pick-up/drop-off alternative. Accepts additional connection to the Lawfield housing scheme and generally considers the internal layout to have good connectivity and pedestrian access. Some adjustments to surfacing may be needed at the Roads Construction Consent stage and the internal link road between Plots 34 and 47 should have passing opportunities. Responds to further submissions by accepting the footpath link to the school, subject to agreement on timing and the passing zone on the internal link within Phase 2. However, the submitted drawing for the Beanburn widening remains too indicative and consider there are several locations within public road verge where the Beanburn could be widened. Content this can be addressed by suspensive condition seeking more precise details.
PLANNING HISTORY. 3.1 The site has a long planning history. Most relevant to this proposal is the extant outline planning permission for a residential led development, granted on 21 November 2014, subject to conditions and a legal agreement (ref: 2012/02454/OUT).
