Tonight, at the City Council's Development Quality Committee, I move refusal of another modern house proposal south of Richmond Terrace & Court, but I unfortunately lost the vote narrowly.
The decision was unfortunate, given that committee had previously supported (on two occasions) to support my objections to inappropriate planning applications in this area to the immediate west of Magdalen Green. Here is my motion to committee tonight :

Application 09/00065/FUL
Land at Richmond Terrace, Dundee.
1) The proposed development is contrary to Policy 1 of the Dundee Local Plan Review 2005 by virtue of the design, layout and associated traffic movements of the new house being inappropriate in this location resulting in an adverse impact on the environmental qualities currently enjoyed by the surrounding residents. There are no material considerations of sufficient weight that would justify the approval of the application contrary to the development plan.
2) The insertion of a large modern house in the prominent location proposed would not protect or enhance the character or the appearance of the West End Suburbs Conservation Area contrary to the terms of Policy 61 of the Dundee Local Plan Review 2005 and the statutory duty set out in Section 64 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997. There are no material considerations of sufficient weight that would justify the approval of the application contrary to the development plan.
3) That the erection of a new house in the location proposed would have an adverse impact on the existing trees within the site contrary to the terms of Policy 72 of the Dundee Local Plan Review 2005. There are no material considerations of sufficient weight that would justify the approval of the application contrary to the development plan.
