Strategic Policy 1
Requires optimising use of previously developed land, efficient site use for access/landscaping/amenity, and utilising infrastructure. Officer found site (with polytunnel/stables/sheds) suitable for two dwellings optimising under-used land, with adequate parking/turning/gardens.
General Policy 2
Permits zoned development if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/form/design/landscaping (b), does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character (c), amenity of residents/locality (g), highways (i). Officer assessed compliance on design amid varied glen properties, no neighbour amenity harm with mitigations, highways ok; Committee disagreed on character (c/b).
Housing Policy 6
Residential-zoned land developed per area plan brief or GP2 criteria, encouraging good design. No brief exists so GP2 applies; officer found acceptable but Committee found design/positioning out of character.
