Planning Officer:  Esmond Sage

Application refused for the following reasons:-

The site is in  close proximity to a mixed use area in the city centre and would be compliant in principle with  Policy 30 (Tourism), paragraph (e) part (i) of National Planning Framework 4. Nevertheless, it was considered that the proposed change of use of the property to Short Term Let (STL) accommodation would likely result in significant detrimental impacts upon the amenity of the immediate neighbouring residential properties within the application building, beyond what could typically be expected if it were to be used as mainstream residential accommodation through noise disturbance, the frequency of changes in occupants, particularly at unusual hours, and the impact on security, real or perceived, within the communal areas of the building. The proposed change of use is thus considered to be contrary to Policy H2 (Mixed Use Areas) and Policy D2 (Amenity) of the Aberdeen Local Development Plan 2023.

Planning Officer:  Scott Leitch

Application refused for the following reasons:-

The proposal would be contrary to Policy I1 (Infrastructure Delivery and Planning Obligations) of the Aberdeen Local Development Plan by virtue of the fact that there is insufficient capacity in the local primary and secondary schools to accommodate the additional number of children generated by the development.

Application approved conditionally with a legal agreement.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)             to approve the content of the draft Aberdeen Planning Guidance document; Health Impact Assessments (Appendix 1), and instruct the Chief Officer - Strategic Place Planning to, subject to any minor drafting changes, publish the draft Aberdeen Planning Guidance documents for an eight week non-statutory public consultation; and

(ii)            to instruct the Chief Officer - Strategic Place Planning to report the results of the public consultation and any proposed revisions to the draft Aberdeen Planning Guidance to a subsequent Planning Development Management Committee within six months of the end of the consultation period.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)             to note that Barratt deliver the 22 social rent units for GHA as intended, and allow 12-months from commencement of development to confirm Scottish Government funding; and

(ii)            to note that where that was not forthcoming, Barratt would then switch to an off-site commuted payment for the affordable units.? On the basis that they were currently over-providing affordable unit at Riverside Quarter for Places for People the Council would be permitted, in this instance to off-set those units against the commuted sum at Cordyce.
