At their meeting of 7 December 2010 the Development Standards Committee agreed to grant planning permission for the change
of use from nursery to single dwelling house and erection of four dwelling houses within the grounds (application No 10/01014/FULL refers) and Listed Building Consent for alterations to boundary wall and demolition of modern additions at Seaview, Victoria Street, Monifieth (application No 10/01015/LBC refers). The decision was subject to conditions and a Section 75 agreement or other legal agreement to cover the developer’s affordable housing and education contributions; based on the level of development proposed the aforementioned contributions were £XXX and £XXX respectively. The listed building decision notice was issued but the applicant subsequently withdrew the planning application relating to the housing development before the Section 75 was concluded. As a result any development proposals will require the submission of a fresh planning application and depending on the nature of the development may require a fresh listed building consent application. Developers are
requested to clarify this matter with the Area Planning Officer. Details of the applications and Committee decision can be viewed at
