Review Procedure
The Local Review Body will decide on the procedure to be used to determine your review and may at any time during the review
process require that further information or representations be made to enable them to determine the review. Further information may
be required by one or a combination of procedures, such as: written submissions; the holding of one or more hearing sessions and/or
inspecting the land which is the subject of the review case.
Can this review continue to a conclusion, in your opinion, based on a review of the relevant information provided by yourself and other
parties only, without any further procedures? For example, written submission, hearing session, site inspection. *
Yes No
Please indicate what procedure (or combination of procedures) you think is most appropriate for the handling of your review. You may
select more than one option if you wish the review to be conducted by a combination of procedures.
Please select a further procedure *
Inspection of the land subject of the appeal. (Further details below are not required)
Please explain in detail in your own words why this further procedure is required and the matters set out in your statement of appeal
it will deal with? * (Max 500 characters)
The sole reason given by the appointed officer for refusal of the planning consent relates to potential landscape impacts. A visit to
the Cotton of Pitkennedy site will allow Members of the Local Review Body an opportunity to experience the character of the local
landscape and inform their consideration of the proposal.
In the event that the Local Review Body appointed to consider your application decides to inspect the site, in your opinion:
Can the site be clearly seen from a road or public land? *
Yes No
Is it possible for the site to be accessed safely and without barriers to entry? *
Yes No
If there are reasons why you think the Local Review Body would be unable to undertake an unaccompanied site inspection, please
explain here. (Max 500 characters)
Cotton of Pitkennedy is a working farm. Notification would help to ensure that any hazards (such as livestock) are free from the site
during the inspection. The farmer and consultant can also be available to explain facts on the ground to Members of the LRB.
