Item 5 report

This document contains a committee report for a planning application submitted by The House of Bruar Ltd, concerning the erection of a warehouse building (class 6) with an access track and parking area at Land 130 Metres South East Of House Of Bruar, Pitagowan Blair Atholl, Pitlochry PH18 5TW. The recommendation for this application is to refuse permission due to the flood risk of the development site, with it being demonstrated that much of the site is at risk of flooding, therefore being contrary to National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) Policy 22, which seeks to strengthen resilience to flood risk. The proposed development is also contrary to NPF4 Policy 1, tackling the climate and nature crises, and Policy 2, Climate mitigation and adaptation, as it requires proposals to give weight to the global climate and nature crises and are designed to minimise emissions and adapt to current and future risks from climate change.
