Object to the proposed housing land allocation at Site H101 Station Road Killearn
for one or more of the following reasons: i) Principle of allocation and alternative sites: • No need on account of record number of unsold houses.
• Allocated land in the designated ‘Countryside’.
• Contravenes national and Local Development Plan planning and
environmental conservation guidance and advice.
• Doubling of units compared with the Draft Plan stage.
• Scale of development cannot be deemed ‘modest’.
• Unwanted by majority of residents and community as evinced by
strength and numbers of representations.
• Only need for small number of appropriate (e.g. affordable,
retirement, etc.) suitably located houses.
• Contrary to previous planning guidance stating only a small number
of affordable units required.
• Better alternative sites, with references made to: - Former Killearn Hospital
- Pasture land adjacent to ‘Blairessan’ Station Road
- Pasture land to the rear of the SPAR store, 29-31 Main Street
- Land at Beech Road
- Other unspecified sites in or adjacent to the village.
ii) Adverse impact on village character and amenity with references made
to:• Inappropriate / unsympathetic scale, design and density of the
proposed housing.
• Prominence of site adjacent to village entrance/gateway.
• Adverse impacts of landscape and countryside setting.
• Adverse impact on historic setting and character.
iii) Adverse impacts on public safety, with references made to additional
vehicular traffic combined with high volumes of existing traffic and/or
speeding traffic induced by straight alignment and downhill gradient of
Station Road, and the increased exposure of pedestrians, especially
the young and elderly.
iv) Adverse impact on / overloading of local infrastructure, with specific
mention made of Killearn Primary School, local secondary school
(Balfron High School), road network, health services, village car
parking, waste water treatment and electricity supply.
v) Adverse impact on landmark views over the National Park and
surrounding countryside, hills and mountains.
vi) Locational shortcomings, with references made to the separation
distance from, and uphill gradients towards, local services and
amenities, and the absence of, or very poor, public transport provision.
vii) Consequential adverse impacts on tourism and economic development
on account of various dis-amenities associated with the development.
viii) Reduce number of units to minimise impact
ix) Adverse impact on environment particularly loss of and/or impact on
biodiversity and loss of agricultural land/greenfield land/open space.
x) Flood Risk, with references made to known history of flooding on the
site, boggy nature of ground, proximity to burn and increased risk of
flooding of adjoining properties.
xi) Miscellaneous matters: • Modify phasing and allocate 50 units within Phase 1: 2010-2019.
• Provide off-route path from Beech Drive to West Highland Way/John
Muir Trail.
• Better alternative uses such as equestrian centre or cottage
industries.

Object to the limited scale of residential development at B47, and propose the
spatial strategy allocation of 50 housing units for Killearn should be placed on this
site. Reference is made to one or more of the following reasons: •
•
Would allow the removal of the Site H101 Station Road thereby
resolving the significant community concerns regarding the principle
of the allocation for residential development and its many locational
and environmental shortcomings, as highlighted in the
representations received in respect of the H101 site.
Higher value residential development built in sufficient numbers
would facilitate / enable site redevelopment, consequently
addressing present significant adverse visual and environmental
•
•
•
•
•
•
effects of long term dereliction and onsite contamination. There is
more than sufficient land to accommodate housing development.
Various house types suggested, including affordable, retirement,
suitable for downsizing and live/work units.
Would facilitate a range of other tourist, business, recreational and
community based uses, to the benefit of local economic and
community development.
Would accord with planning guidance and advice at both national
and local level prioritising the development of brownfield over
greenfield land.
Locational shortcomings, e.g. distance from village services and
amenities, could be addressed by providing on site facilities, (e.g.
shop), use of garden centre and / or providing, rerouting or
reinstating local bus services.
There is an established roundabout access and utility services
should be readily available. ‘Three way’ approach would dilute traffic
impacts.
Would comply with the Plan’s Housing in the Countryside guidance.
Affordable homes could still be provided.
In addition:•
•
•
•
•
One representation (01201) suggested more limited residential
development to avoid traffic concerns.
Various representations request the site be prioritised for
development to address as quickly as possible visual and
environmental shortcomings. Several representations proposed
phasing should be amended to bring into Phase 1(2010/2019) of
Period 1.
2 representations (SLDP_719 and 01321) objecting to the principle
of any residential development on the site.
One representation (01322) advocates a more flexible approach to
future uses to facilitate site restoration.
One representation (01346) raises concerns about site being on a
future flood plain, lack of public transport and remoteness from
village. In addition significant housing development would create a
precedent for future expansion of village to the south. Site
remediation is responsibility of owner and should not be justification
for housing.
Representations to non-allocated sites
Land north of Station Road and West of Blairessan House
Mansell Homes (01321/001) - Promote a site off Station Road for housing
release, for the following reasons:• In 2012 the Council supported the allocation in the draft Local
Development Plan.
• Existing Local Plan supports the principle of infill housing in rural
•
•
•
•
•
locations.
SPP supports generous supply of housing in rural locations with a
preference expressed for several sites, not just one as is the case at
Killearn.
This is a deliverable site in accordance with Scottish Government
criteria and there are no infrastructure issues.
Access can be taken via a ‘T’ junction, reducing impact on
Conservation area.
Design brief and landscape statement demonstrate little or no adverse
effects on the Conservation Area and views in and out village.
This is a sustainable housing site which can contribute positively to the
village of Killearn.

Gower (01220/002), Steve Taylor (01246/001), Margaret Harrison (01046/002)
- support various scales of housing development on the ‘Blairessan’ site.
Representations to other non-allocated housing sites, including land at Ibert
Road
Sir Archie Edmonstone (00819/002) - More suitable and sustainable location for
housing development is land at Ibert Farm accessed off Ibert Road.
Graeme Connery (00753/002) - Need for affordable housing should be spread
over several small, previously identified sites, hidden in the village landscape.
Nigel Kelly (SLDP_844/003) - Development in two fields at Ibert Road, behind
Spar and Old Mill Inn could also be considered. Is a central location and would
further balance village layout.
Margaret Harrison (01046/002) - Permit a small number of houses on several
sites to minimise environmental and traffic impacts. Consider permitting a small
number of houses to the south west of Ibert House.
Various other representations also make passing reference to the potential
suitability of land at Ibert Road, though do not seek modifications to the Plan.
Amend Conservation Area Boundary
K. Pollock (SLDP_834/003) - Site of the former Drumtian Steading, Drumtian
Road should be protected and included in the Conservation Area.
Morag Gibb (01245/001) - It is intended to include our house, 81 Main Street, in
the Conservation Area. The Council is urged to reconsider this. Previous
extensions are of no architectural merit, and make potential demolition and
replacement more difficult. Current regulations would ensure any replacements
are more sympathetic. The property was not worth including at the time of the
original designation in 2000.

The majority of these representations seek the outright deletion of site H101. A
small number wish the site area / proposed number of houses reduced.
If land must be allocated for housing then a strong preference is expressed for the
Plan to be modified to designate the proposed B47 Killearn Hospital to
accommodate the additional housing to meet village needs (Note:- Further
information provided below).
Some respondents have suggested housing land requirements should be split
amongst a number of smaller better located sites (either as an alternative to, or in
addition to a proportionate increase in the housing allocation on site B47), and
then specifically allocated for types of housing for which there is a known need
(e.g. affordable to first time buyers, suitable for retirees/elderly, suitable for
downsizing). Pasture land to the rear of the Spar Store at 29-31 Main Street has
been identified as a preferred location.
A number of representations, including the Community Council, advocate the
carrying out of a settlement specific housing land review, in which the community
would actively participate, to determine future housing needs and the location and
scale of individual site allocations.
A request has been made to modify phasing and allocate 50 units within the
period 2010-2019 (SLDP_719/002).

Summary of responses (including reasons) by planning authority:
Background to the housing land allocations in Killearn
The 2010 Settlement and Site Assessments (CD42) were carried out to determine
potential sites to support the Main Issues Report and the key development
approaches of urban consolidation, strategic development, regeneration and
sustaining rural communities (CD41). Key Agencies, Council services and
infrastructure providers were regularly consulted during the preparation of the
Plan. In determining whether a particular settlement was suitable for
development, the Settlement Assessment considered a range of placemaking
criteria including: • Local character and identity
• Capacity for additional development.
• School capacity.
• Availability of infrastructure, including water and drainage.
• Connectivity including public transport availability.
• Potential to support regeneration and improve social cohesion. A
concluding summary discusses capacity for development and highlights
where mitigation may be required.
The detailed Site Assessments (CD42) that followed are largely based on
Expressions of Interest received at the Main Issues Report stage. Each site has
been considered against Spatial Strategy Options and assessed against: • Environmental Issues, including flooding, water quality, ground conditions,
Green Belt, green corridor, townscape and landscape fit, built heritage and
biodiversity.
• Transport Issues, including relative connectivity and road safety.
The Site Assessments were subsequently updated to take account of
representations received in response to the Draft Plan, which then determined the
final allocation of sites in the Plan. These assessments are also component parts

The Council has carefully considered the various reasons put forward in support
of the proposed modification, but concludes there is insufficient justification to
delete this site.
i) Principle of Allocation and Alternative Sites
The preferred Spatial Strategy (Option 1) set out in the Main Issues Report
(CD41) stated that:“All rural villages are being considered for small scale development for housing
(between 10-40 units) and business development, in order to meet the overall
vision to sustain rural communities. Sites that could deliver both infill and
settlement expansion are under consideration” (Page 68).
The Draft Proposed Plan allocated 56 units for Killearn. The increase was due to
the redistribution of overall housing land requirements in the Rural Villages Area
as no housing allocations could be identified for Gargunnock. The principle of a
requirement for 56 housing units in Killearn can therefore be fully justified under
the Spatial Strategy.
Referring to the Site Assessments (CD42), there is evidence of strong
developer/landowner interest in Killearn. The 2011 Draft Proposed Plan (CD44b)
split the 56 units between 3 sites: - H100 (Crosshead Road – 6 units, H101
(Station Road) -20 units and H102 (Blairessan) - 30 units. Taking account of
representations received in response to the 2011 Draft Proposed Plan the
required 56 units are now allocated on H100 and an enlarged H101 site which, in
the Council’s view, represents the most sustainable pattern of growth for the
village.
ii) Adverse impact on village character and amenity
In land use terms the H101 allocation is considered compatible with adjacent
residential land uses. The site is approximately 2.5 ha and has been sized to
ensure overall loss of greenfield land is kept to a minimum, whilst at the same
time allowing a lower than normal new build density of c.20 units to the hectare.
The Council considers detailed design matters can be addressed at the planning
application stage. The Plan emphasises the importance of placemaking, good
design and environmental sustainability. This is supported by a range of topic
based Primary Policies, Policies and Supplementary Guidance against which
planning applications will be assessed. Proper account requires to be taken of
local characteristics and circumstances. The Key Site Requirements in the
Settlement Statement draws attention to more significant, but potentially
resolvable, environmental and transport issues. In the case of site H101, specific
design criteria are also specified: - e.g. well spaced frontage development and
structure planting to create new settlement edge. Neighbouring owners/occupiers,
other local residents, the Community Council and other interest groups will have
an opportunity to comment on these detailed matters, and account will be taken of
representations prior to the final determination of the application.
iii) Adverse impacts on public safety
Though well within the 30 mph restriction, the Updated Site Assessment 2012
(CD45) acknowledges the potential for speeding traffic on account of the width,
straight alignment and the north-east to south-west downhill gradient of Station
Road. A Key Site Requirement highlights the need for a traffic calming feature, for
example a mini-roundabout or other gateway feature. Footway approaches to the
village also require to be upgraded. Given the modest scale of development it is
unlikely associated traffic movements will result in any significant deterioration in
local road safety.
iv) Adverse impact on / overloading of local infrastructure
Given the modest scale of the development no significant infrastructure
implications have been identified. In particular it can be demonstrated that the
local primary school and Balfron High School have sufficient capacity for the
additional pupils ‘generated’ by development at this scale. This is also the case
with the potential numbers of pupils ‘generated’ by other housing allocations in
the Balfron High School catchment. This is explained further within the Education
Background Report (CD75).
v) Adverse impact on landmark views
The village is situated on rising ground north-east of the valleys of the Blane
Water and River Endrick and, consequently, enjoys expansive views over the
surrounding countryside including towards the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs
National Park and the Southern Hills Local Landscape Area (see Proposed
Supplementary Guidance SG27 Protecting Special Landscapes (CD187). The
frontage of the H101 site currently comprises of open pasture land from where
views are available from the north to the south west. Whilst the Council accepts
such views will be curtailed by the development this frontage is not an established
viewpoint or other place of public resort. It is also the case that, depending on the
direction of travel, the views would quickly open out again or continue to be
restricted by established frontage development. Within the village there are also
numerous other locations to enjoy these views, particularly in the vicinity of the
church and village hall and other public open spaces.
vi) Locational Shortcomings
The process of settlement expansion inevitably places more recent phases of
development at settlement edges and further away from the original core where
services and facilities tend to be found. That being said, in the case of the H101
allocation, the pharmacy, medical centre, church, refurbished village hall, vets,
children’s nursery, tea room, public house and bus stops for the main village bus
service can all be found in the vicinity of the junction of Station Road with Balfron
Road, c. 675 metres from the mid point of the site frontage. The primary school is
c.850 metres and the Spar/post office, Co-operative store and butcher c.1,250
metres. A local bus service also uses Station Road though the Council
acknowledges this is an infrequent two hourly daytime service. Overall, when
compared against travel distances from other newer houses in the village,
particularly in the estates built in the 1970’s and 80’s, to local facilities and
amenities, the Council considers the site is well enough positioned to encourage
‘active’ forms of travel (walking and cycling) and reduce car dependency. This
conclusion also takes into account the local footway gradients which are
considered comparable with those found in other parts of the village.
vii) Consequential adverse impacts on tourism and economic development
The Council does not attach weight to these concerns. There is no sound reason
as to why a well designed and landscaped residential development should
discourage casual visitors and tourists.
viii) Reduce number of units to minimise impact
The Council acknowledges that a reduction in the site size and / or number of
units would, by definition, reduce local environmental impacts. That being said, for
the various reasons set out in this response, the site size and scale of
development is considered to be appropriate for this location.
ix) Adverse impact on environment
The site is located on Class 3.2 Agricultural land forming part of a larger field that,
in recent times, appears to have been poorly managed. The Plan’s Primary Policy
14 states that larger scale developments located on better quality agricultural land
(i.e. Class 3.1 and 3.2 land), will only be supported where they conform to the
Spatial Strategy of the Plan. The site is of limited biodiversity value, does not
benefit from any environmental designations nor has any known recreational
function.
x) Flood Risk
It is acknowledged parts of the site are boggy, perhaps attributable to poor
management and failing drainage. It is acknowledged the northern boundary is
defined by a small burn. The Key Site Requirements state that a Flood Risk
Assessment will be required and that development should avoid the functional
flood plain. This matter will thus be considered in full at the detailed application
stage, when it will have to be demonstrated the risk of flooding of both new and
existing properties will comply with relevant guidance and advice. The Scottish
Environmental Protection Agency do not object to the allocation of the site on
flood risk grounds and support the Key Site Requirements.
xi) Miscellaneous Matters
a)The Vision and Spatial Strategy Background Report (CD49) states, in Para 10.1
– “Phasing of implementation has been indicated on the best information
available, but may need to be flexible as circumstances change.” Para 10.2
identifies a range of relevant factors, which will be monitored through the Local
Development Plan Action programme. With this flexibility and ongoing monitoring
in mind the Council is of the opinion that proposed phasing on all allocations
should remain as detailed in the Plan.
b) The Plan represents the settled view of the Council and it is therefore not
appropriate to consider alternative uses at this stage. The suggested path
improvements are not directly associated with this development.
The above response demonstrates that the Council has carefully considered the
various reasons put forward to support the deletion of site H101, but remains of
the view that they are of insufficient weight to justify modifying the Plan in
response to these representations.

Killearn Hospital closed in 1972 and transferred to private ownership. It is deemed
contaminated on account of the asbestos sheeting used in the original buildings,
though there are several occupied houses within the site boundary. In 2010 the
Council’s Environmental Health Service served a statutory notice requiring the
landowner to limit access to asbestos containing materials by members of the
public.
The 1999 Stirling Council Local Plan supported the principle of redevelopment for
business uses complimentary to primary rural activities (CD35). To facilitate rural
economic development the 2007 Stirling Council Local Plan Alteration 1A: Stirling
and the Rural Villages specifically identifies the site as a Rural Activity Area
(CD36). The current allocation is thus a ‘carry over’ from the 2007 Local Plan. The
updated 2012 Site Assessment (CD45 – Site Ref. KILL22) states: - “Allocated as
a 'Rural Activity Area' (i.e. employment site) in the Proposed Plan. Very little
development has come forward, just some unfinished workshop units.
Contaminated land remediation costs a major problem but the Council is open to
a variety of uses to create a viable development 'package'”.
The site is separated from Killearn by rising pasture land and woodland, though a
substantial garden centre with shop and restaurant lies opposite. It is c.1.2 km
from the roundabout access point to the south western boundary of the village at
the junction of Lampson Road with Station Road, and the southernmost village
limits at Drumbeg Loan. Walking or cycling to the south western boundary of the
village (the most direct route) would be via the poorly surfaced and unlit section of
the West Highland Way running parallel to the A81, then the unsurfaced and unlit
footway on Station Road. From there it would be a further c1.1 km to the junction
of Station Road to Balfron Road, where a number of local services and amenities
can be found - a total distance of 2.3 km. PAN 75 – Planning for Transport (2005)
(CD 16 - para. B13) notes that, in respect of accessibility to local facilities by
walking and cycling “A maximum threshold of 1600m for walking is broadly in line
with observed travel behaviour.” This analysis therefore substantiates the
comments made in the 2012 Site Assessments that the site is remote from
existing village facilities.
The Key Site Requirements for B47 support business, tourism and leisure
development. Support is also given for residential development “at a scale to
enable the implementation of a contaminated land strategy and general site
restoration, to be determined by a fully costed and independently audited site
restoration.”
Whilst the Plan normally presumes against non-conforming
residential development in the designated Countryside (unless in compliance with
Policy 2:10 Housing in the Countryside), this site’s specific exception
acknowledges that higher land values associated with residential development
could enable remediation and redevelopment for a range of uses, to the benefit of
local amenity and economic development. That being said, and keeping in mind
indicative remediation costs of between £500 000 and £1,250,000 (CD213), the
Council envisages an appropriate scale of residential development to be in the
order of 10 units, with serviced self build plots perhaps commanding the highest
land values. This would also accord with the maximum scale of development
normally promoted under the Housing in the Countryside policy, e.g. barn
conversions and clusters of new-build.
The Spatial Strategy seeks development in the Rural Villages to be concentrated
within settlements, where services and facilities are more readily accessible. The
Plan’s Placemaking Policies and proposed Supplementary Guidance support this
approach. In turn this reflects advice in Scottish Planning Policy (CD1) (para. 40)
that settlement strategies should promote a more sustainable pattern of growth for
an area, taking account of the scale and type of development pressure and the
need for growth and regeneration. The preceding paragraphs (37, 38 and 39)
draw attention to associated benefits such as reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions and reduction in the need to travel. Scottish Planning Policy
transportation guidance (CD1) also notes: - “The planning system should support
a pattern of development which reduces the need to travel.....and provides safe
and convenient opportunities for walking and cycling” (Para. 165).
The Council acknowledges Scottish Planning Policy also promotes regeneration
and reuse of previously developed land and the resolution of environmental
problems affecting communities. However the Council remains confident that
there is sufficient commercial value in the mixed use development allowed for in
the Plan to enable site remediation and restoration. The site’s locational
shortcomings, particularly with respect to poor non-vehicular accessibility (i.e.
combination of poor quality footpaths and footways and excessive separation
distance from village facilities), makes this an inappropriate location for the Spatial
Strategy allocation of 50 units. In addition 50% of the allocation requires to be
affordable housing, and it is unlikely that the Council or Registered Social
Landlords would be willing to invest in such a comparatively remote location.
Therefore the Council does not agree to modify the Plan to increase the housing
unit allocation on B47 to 50 units to meet the requirements of the Spatial Strategy.
This would still be the case even if footpath / footway connections were
comprehensively upgraded to adoptable standards.
(Please note: - On 29 January 2013 a Proposal of Application Notice was
submitted for the B47 site, for a mixed use development comprising of 16
community houses (flats), 6 live work units, 55 self build plots, workspace and
commercial properties (Ref. no. PAN-2013-002) (CD154).
Representations to non-allocated sites
Land north of Station Road and West of Blairessan House
Mansell Homes (01321/001) - This site was brought to the attention of the
Council at the expressions of interest stage, and was subject of a Site
Assessment, as detailed in (CD42 – Site Ref.’s KILL 10 & KILL 18). The overall
assessment concluded: - “Potentially a good small development site close to
village centre but road access unsatisfactory/not feasible”.
Ensuing discussions indicated a mini-roundabout junction could potentially
resolve access concerns. With this in mind the Assessment was updated in 2011
(CD46 – Site Ref.’s KILL 10 & KILL 18) and the site identified for development in
the Stirling Local Development Plan Draft Proposed Plan (2011) (CD44b) as
having a capacity for 30 units, with the balance of the Spatial Strategy’s 50
housing unit requirement, i.e. 20 units, allocated at site H101. This allocation
attracted a high number of representations (CD215) and the updated 2012 Site
Assessment (CD45 - Site Ref.’s KILL 10 & KILL 18) details how these were taken
into account: “Close to village centre so potentially a good location. Vehicular access may be
achievable but significant concerns raised at the draft LDP stage, particularly with
regard to safety issues associated with mini-roundabout design solution.
Significant concerns also raised regarding direct and indirect impacts of the mini-
roundabout and/or the wider site development on the character, appearance and
setting of the adjacent Conservation Area, along with more general impacts on
the established streetscape and outlook from the Glebe. To take account of these
concerns the site has not been included in the Proposed Plan and the LDP
allocation at Station Road (H101) has been enlarged to meet the requirements of
the Spatial Strategy. Should development come forward, disposal of foul and
surface drainage to relevant statutory standards would mitigate potential
‘incombination’ effects on Endrick Water SAC.”
The Council has carefully considered the various reasons put forward to justify the
allocation of this site for 30 units. As highlighted in the 2012 Site Assessment the
key issue is the potential for development to adversely affect the character and
appearance of the Conservation Area and its setting.
The Killearn Conservation Area Appraisal (CD166) explains the reasons for the
designation, with the following deemed relevant to the Blairessan site: • A magnificent natural landscape setting
• A medieval settlement centred round the Old Kirk and the Laird’s House
known as the Place of Killearn
• A villa development from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
• The appraisal also notes a significant ‘vulnerability’ as being the dilution of
character and appearance through inappropriate new development.
In this locality the northern and eastern boundaries of the Conservation Area are
adjacent to open fields which, by definition, contribute to landscape setting. By
virtue of its scale, density and built form, a 30 unit housing development on the
Blairessan field is therefore likely to irreversibly diminish the landscape setting in
this vicinity, to the detriment of character and appearance. Development is also
likely to adversely affect the setting of the medieval core, part of which includes
‘The Glebe’ pasture land opposite the site frontage, on account of adverse
impacts of built form and the engineering, lighting and signage associated with
the mini-roundabout access
(Note:- The representation includes a letter dated 22 November 2012 from Scott
Bennett Associates referring to preliminary meeting with Stirling Council’s roads
Service indicating a ‘T’ junction would be acceptable. This has been queried with
the Roads Service. Their response of 12 March 2013 (CD214) indicates that a
mini-roundabout is considered to be the only acceptable means of accessing the
site given the visibility issues outwith the site boundary and applicants control for
a T-junction arrangement.
Finally the architecture of a number of houses within the Conservation Area, both
adjacent to the site boundaries and either side of the site frontage (including
Blairessan House), clearly belong s to the late 19th - early 20th Century period of
villa development. Again it is difficult to envisage how higher density modern
housing could be laid out without adversely impacting on this key feature of the
character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
The above commentary demonstrates the Council has carefully considered the
various reasons put forward to support the allocation of this site for a 30 unit
housing development, but remains of the view there is insufficient justification to
modify the Plan in this regard.
Norman McNab (00610/002), Christopher Riches (00596/002), Jennifer Wilks
(00651/002) Nigel Kelly (SLDP_844/002), Peter Wilks (01217/003), Anna
Gower (01220/002), Steve Taylor (01246/001), Margaret Harrison (01046/002)
- Following from the above commentary it is considered that residential
development of the ‘Blairessan Field’, even at a reduced scale, would be
detrimental to character and appearance of the Conservation Area. The Council
therefore considers there is insufficient justification to modify the Plan in this
respect.
Other Sites, including land at Ibert Road
Sir Archie Edmonstone (00819/002), Graeme Connery (00753/002), Nigel
Kelly (SLDP_844/002), Margaret Harrison (01046/002)
In these representations particular mention was made of land at Ibert Road. This
land came forward as an Expression of Interest and was assessed in the 2010
Site Assessment (CD42 – Site Ref. – KILL20). Various issues were identified in
the Assessment relating to: • Townscape fit – Considered likely to have an adverse effect on the
setting of the village and conservation area
• Landscape Fit – No natural boundary, open and elevated and in the
Area of Great Landscape Value.
• Car Comments - Ibert Road is substandard on account of geometry
and land ownership. Alternative access requires demolition of frontage
property.
The Overall Assessment concludes however that “If the western access is
feasible it may be possible to create a small housing area that is close to the
village centre and does not dominate because of its scale.” It was therefore
identified as a potential housing land option. Following further consideration of the
site merits and taking into account potential resolution of access constraints at the
‘Blairessan’ site, the site was no longer considered suitable for development due
to adverse effects on the setting of the village and Conservation Area (CD45 –
Site Ref. KILL20).
In addition the representation also states: - “On the assumption access can be
achieved to the appropriate local authority standard, it is submitted there is no
other site better paced to meet the housing requirements of the village.” The
landowner has however failed to submit any supporting evidence such as
preparation of suitable engineering drawings that comply with Roads service
standards, and confirmation legal control can be secured over any third party land
necessary to form the improved access. The Council is therefore entitled to
continue to question the development potential of this land on account of the
constrained substandard access. The Council therefore considers there is
insufficient justification to modify the Plan in this respect.
The representations also allude to other suitable, though unidentified, sites. The
process of Site Assessment fully demonstrates the thoroughness of the site
selection process. The Council accordingly maintains the view that the most
appropriate site has been identified for the Spatial Strategy 50 housing unit
requirement for Killearn, in terms of environmental, transportation and
placemaking criteria.
Amend Conservation Area Boundary
The conservation area boundary changes proposed within the Killearn Settlement
Plan are based on recommendations made within the proposed Killearn
Conservation Area Appraisal document (CD166), and are aimed at ensuring
robust and meaningful boundaries to the conservation area that properly reflect
the extent of the area of special architectural or historic interest.
K. Pollock (SLDP_834/003) - Site of the former Drumtian Steading – This
representation relates to a site that currently lies outwith the conservation area
boundary to its north-east, where the objector feels there is merit in including the
site within a revised conservation area boundary. This site, whilst located just
outside the boundary of the conservation area, is set in an open agricultural field,
and now contains modern development. It is not considered that the buildings/site
merit inclusion within the conservation area boundary. The Council does not
therefore agree to modify the Plan in response to this representation.
Morag Gibb (01245/001) - 81 Main Street, Killearn – This representation relates
to the proposed inclusion of a house and its garden at the southern end of Main
Street, Killearn, within the conservation area. This house has been identified
through the character appraisal as a traditional property of similar character and
age to those within the conservation area. It is of red sandstone construction with
a slate roof, chimneys and traditional dormers. It currently lies adjacent to the
conservation area boundary and beyond it the style of development is modern. It
is not clear why the house was not included within the conservation area at the
time of the extension in 2000, but the review of the conservation area boundary
through the conservation area character appraisal has identified its omission from
the designated area as an anomaly and there is now an opportunity to address
that fact. The Council does not therefore agree to modify the Plan in response to
this representation.
