The Committee:- (i) welcomed the recognition in the consultation document that post offices had an

important social and economic role in communities, and the commitment to maintaining and funding a national network with criteria for access to ensure appropriate coverage by post offices at a local level;

(ii) proposed that, for the purposes of the access criteria, the definition of deprived urban

areas should be extended to include those areas falling within the 20% most deprived areas rather than 10% as suggested in the consultation document, and that post offices in such areas should not be closed unless there was another post office within half a mile;

(iii) suggested that, in considering the accessibility of post offices, account needs to be

taken not only of distance but how the people most affected cope with that distance. This would involve considering factors such as the age profile of the population served, levels of car ownership and availability of public transport;

(iv) noted that any specific proposals to close post offices would be subject to public

consultation and the Council would have an opportunity to comment on and object to any proposals affecting Dundee, but respond that the period for public consultation should be ten weeks rather than six weeks as suggested in the consultation document;

(v) expressed the view that any closure proposals should be made on a strategic basis, in

accordance with the access criteria, and should not be driven by the decisions of sub postmasters to apply for the compensation package available;

64

(vi) expressed the view that Post Office Ltd's consultation on area proposals should be on the basis of local authority areas rather than Parliamentary constituencies;

(vii) suggested that consideration be given to applying some of the ideas from the

outreach projects piloted in rural areas to those parts of urban areas least well served by post office services;

(viii) welcomed the suggestion that devolved administrations and local authorities could

play a role in influencing how postal services were best delivered in the future, but suggested that the investigation of this role should begin sooner than 2011 as suggested in the consultation document;

(ix) agreed that the possibility of community ownership of parts of the post office network

should be explored; and (x) noted that the Council continued to support local post offices by accepting payments

of rent and Council Tax through the post office network. The Committee resolved under Section 50(A)(4) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 that the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the undernoted item of business on the grounds that it involved the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 1 of Part I of Schedule 7A of the Act.

IX SOCIAL WORK DEPARTMENT - STRATEGY AND PERFORMANCE SERVICE - ESTABLISHMENT OF POST OF STRATEGY AND PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT

There was submitted Agenda Note AN48-2007, advising that as a result of EFQM self assessment, inspection processes, self-evaluation and other activity it had become clear that process improvement and the management of performance were becoming increasingly important activities within the Social Work Department, both internally and in conjunction with planning and service delivery partners. In addressing this changing and growing need, the Strategy and Performance Service had reviewed its staffing structure and redefined roles and responsibilities. This had resulted in the work of a Senior Officer being refocused on process improvement and performance management across the department. In order to support this growing agenda and the increasing need for regular, relevant and robust performance information for all staff to enable them to continuously improve what they do, it was proposed that a new post of Strategy and Performance Assistant should be created. Accordingly, the Committee approved the establishment of one post of Strategy and Performance Assistant, graded AP3 (£18,840 - £20,673), having noted that the costs including employer's costs would be £23,980 in a full financial year, which would be funded from within the existing Social Work Department Revenue Budget.

X HOUSING DEPARTMENT - HOMELESS SERVICES UNIT - ESTABLISHMENT OF

POSTS There was submitted Agenda Note AN44-2007, advising that due to increased demand for temporary accommodation from homeless persons arising from the legislative provisions of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 (as amended), and the Homelessness etc (Scotland) Act 2003, Dundee City Council required to increase its supply of supervised temporary accommodation by setting up a new unit. In order to ensure that residents received the support which they require and that the local community is not inconvenienced by the operation of this unit, there would be two staff on duty at all times. The Committee therefore approved the establishment of the following posts to staff the unit on a 24 hour shift rota basis:- • 9 posts of Assistant Housing Officer, graded GS3 (£14,829 - £15,411) plus shift allowance

and enhancements for weekend working; and • 4 posts of part-time (18 ½ hours) Assistant Housing Officer, graded GS3 (£14,829 - £15,411)

The Committee resolved under Section 50(A)(4) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 that the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the undernoted items of business on the grounds that they involved the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 1 of Part I of Schedule 7A of the Act.

I PLANNING APPLICATIONS (a) 06-01076-LBC - 12 AND 18 WHITEHALL CRESCENT - PERMISSION FOR

INSTALLATION OF SERVICES - FOR MR I JAMAL The Committee acceded to requests for deputations to address the Committee both in support of, and relative to, objections to the application. After each deputation had stated its case and answered questions from members of the Committee, it was thanked for its attendance and withdrew. Thereafter, having considered objections received, the Committee refused the application on the grounds that:- (i) the proposed development significantly detracts from the appearance and character of

a Category B Listed Building by virtue of the location of the services and the manner in which they are to be completed. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Section 14 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 which requires the Council to have special regard to the desirability of preserving listed buildings or their settings or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess;

(ii) the proposed development will have an adverse impact on the appearance and

character of a listed building by virtue of the location of the services and the manner in which they are to be completed. This is contrary to Policy 60 (Alterations to Listed Buildings) of the Dundee Local Plan Review 2005. There are no material considerations that would justify the approval of this application contrary to the terms of this Policy; and

(c) the introduction of the new door at first floor level of 12 Whitehall Crescent adversely

impacts on the appearance and character of a Category B listed building by virtue of detracting from the symmetry of the original openings located within the communal stairwell. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Section 14 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 and Policy 60 of the Dundee Local Plan Review 2005. There are no material considerations that would justify the approval of the new doorway contrary to the terms of Policy 60.

After the deputation had stated its case and answered questions from members of the Committee, it was thanked for its attendance and withdrew. Thereafter, having considered objections received, the Committee refused the application on the grounds that:- (i) The proposed development contravenes Policy 1 of the Dundee Local Plan Review

2005 by virtue of the adverse impact the proposal will have on the environmental qualities currently enjoyed by the residents located to the east of the site and there are no material considerations that justify the approval of this application contrary to this policy;

(ii) The proposed development contravenes Policy 4 of the Dundee Local Plan Review

2005 by virtue of the site not being identified for the development of flats, the failure to provide an appropriate level of safe off street car parking spaces and the reduction of privacy by overlooking of the private garden area of the residential property to the east. There are no material considerations that would justify the approval of this application contrary to this policy, and

(iii) The proposed development contravenes Policy 55 of the Dundee Local Plan Review

2005 by virtue of the scale, design, appearance and the adverse impact of the new flatted block on the visual quality of the surrounding area. There are no material considerations that would justify the approval of this application contrary to these policies.

(f) 06-00991-COU - HIGH MILL, HIGHMILL COURT - CHANGE OF USE, WITH

ALTERATIONS, OF LOWER GROUND FLOOR "SHELL" UNITS TO FORM FOUR FLATS - FOR B DOIG AND R WALKER DEVELOPMENTS LTD

Councillor Don declared a non-financial interest in this item by virtue of his wife being a member of West End Community Council who had objected to the application, and took no part in the discussion thereof.

After each deputation had stated its case and answered questions from members of the Committee, it was thanked for its attendance and withdrew.

107

Thereafter, having considered objections received, the Committee refused the application on the grounds that:- (i) the development is contrary to Policy 1 and Policy 4 of the Dundee Local Plan Review

2005 as the proposals fail to provide the required amount of associated off-street car parking and the environmental quality of the adjacent occupiers to the south will be prejudiced by virtue of overlooking, a reduction in privacy and noise created by new south facing windows and extraction flues for the proposed units. There are no material considerations that would justify the approval of the application contrary to the terms of these policies; and

(ii) the proposal is contrary to Policy 60 of the Dundee Local Plan Review 2005 and the

requirement under Section 59 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 due to the adverse impact on the architectural and historic character of the Category A listed building through the introduction of additional openings on the main elevations of the property. There are no material considerations that would justify the approval of the application contrary to the terms of this policy.

(g) 06-00987-LBC - HIGH MILL, HIGHMILL COURT - INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL

ALTERATIONS TO CREATE FOUR FLATS - FOR B DOING AND R WALKER DEVELOPMENTS LTD

After each deputation had stated its case and answered questions from members of the Committee, it was thanked for its attendance and withdrew. Thereafter, having considered objections received, the Committee:- (i) the proposed alterations significantly detract from the appearance and character of a

Category A listed building by virtue of the location, design and specification of the proposed new windows and openings to be provided on the main elevations of the property. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Section 14 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 which requires the Council to have special regard to the desirability of preserving listed buildings or their settings or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess; and

(ii) the proposed development will have an adverse impact on the appearance and

character of a Category A listed building by virtue of the location, design and specification of the proposed new windows and openings to be provided on the main elevations of the property. This is contrary to Policy 60 (Alterations to Listed Buildings) of the Dundee Local Plan Review 2005. There are no material considerations that would justify the approval of this application contrary to the terms of this Policy.

it would adversely impact upon the privacy of the neighbouring occupiers and the access is not suitable for two properties to share; and

(ii) the proposed development is contrary to Policy 15 of the Dundee Local Plan Review
