24 dwellinghouses at Scone North, Scone

“PROPOSAL: Erection of 24 dwellinghouses and associated works (change of house type and plot layout) (approval of matters specified in conditions of 22/02223/AMM) (Phase 2)”

“The developer for the previous AMSC was A & J Stephen. Persimmon Homes has since sought to acquire some sections of the Phase 2A element, thereby requiring some amendments to the previous approval to reflect the different house types now proposed, alongside some other relatively minor changes to the layout. Persimmon has previously received approval for a change of house type and plot layout of a section of Phase 2A to the south of this proposal (24/01483/AMM).”

“The application site extends to an area of approximately 1.25 ha and forms part of the development site known as ‘Scone North’, which extends to 63 ha and is identified within the Local Development Plan 2 (LDP2) as H29, a residential led (up to 700 dwellings) urban expansion. Planning Permission in Principle (PPP) Ref: 16/02127/IPM and an associated Section 75 legal agreement relates, with further detailed approvals in place for other phases.”

“In addition, detailed approval has been granted for erection of 210 dwellinghouses on phase 2A (22/02223/AMM), which forms part of the area that this application comprises and remains extant. Some of the conditions of the PPP have been agreed under that consent and, due to the similarities with the current application, do not require to be revisited. The current application for AMSC will be required to be implemented concurrently with certain matters…”

“This report recommends approval of a Matters Specified in Conditions (AMSC) application for the erection of a total of 24 dwellinghouses within the site referred to as ‘Scone North’. This Report concludes that the proposal is consistent with the Development Plan, the existing Planning Permission in Principle (PPP) consent (Ref: 16/02127/IPM) and other relevant material planning considerations.”

“Overall, the proposed layout, design, scale and massing are considered to comply with the Council’s placemaking policies, providing a logical and coherent development. The proposals therefore are considered to accord with the terms of PPP and the relevant NPF4 and LDP2 policies.”

“The location and orientation of the proposed dwellinghouses is such that there will be no unacceptable loss of privacy or daylight or overshadowing. This is relevant to both the proposed units and the existing/approved residential properties.”

“Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust (PKHT): The area has already been archaeologically evaluated in 2022 and no further works are required as part of this phase.”

“Environmental Health (Contaminated Land): No objection. A Site Investigation Report has identified the need for remedial works to ensure the wider site is suitable for the proposed use. Condition required.”
