Dear Sirs,

I write with reference to the above planning application and the information supplied by Mr Cringle.

My board members wish to draw attention to the aerial photograph on the imuseum.im website that would suggest that rather than being a historic access of historical significance on to the "flats", it was likely a door into the stables at the rear of the property.

The Board are supportive of this application as it would take car parking off street whilst retaining income for a car parking space through the provision of a wayleave which is currently being progressed by the Towns advocates.

The Coach Bays are no longer adequate for the size of coaches visiting the town and discussions are ongoing with DOI Highways division for the creation of a set down / pick up stand and designated parking for coaches at an alternative location on street.

Yours faithfully,

HF Mackenzie Town Clerk
