Planning DC explained that there was retrospective planning application 2024/0118/DET for several items. It was recognised that it would be difficult for DCC to support this application. Though it is a local business it is generally recognised that tourism should be able to be promoted without the over-development of a site. In addition, a general comment was that baggage collection vans collecting bags had grown in number in recent years and tend to descend upon Drymen at the same time parking anywhere and everywhere. Regarding Public Consultations, DC explained that provision of services such as Doctors, Dentists as well as schools should be involved. It was stated that a Biodiversity Plan should be carried out and there should be bonds placed to cover costs of upkeeping green spaces and roads etc. and these should be sorted early in case developers go bust. There is a broken tree that is blocking the footpath from Winnock Court to Buchanan Home Farm. SPR to contact landowner. |
