Transport Scotland. No objections. Scottish Water: Response awaited SEPA: Initially supported the comments of SBC Flood Risk Officer regarding the pre and post development overland flows and source of the water-filled ditch on the site. Also question the source of the sump and open channel. Upon receipt of additional information, objects on the grounds of flood risk. In particular, the lack of groundwater investigation, the size of the culvert the upsized Lawfield Drive pipe is being connected to, clarification of ownership agreement, SUDs details relating to attenuating the larger catchment and information on the sump protecting existing houses in storm conditions. Ayton Community Council: Supports the principle of affordable housing in the village but objects to the scale of the development which is not based upon actual demand, quoting the housing needs survey in Ayton in 2018 revealing only 9 households looking to move to Ayton and BHA own figures of every rental house attracting only 18 applicants. Also objects to the impacts on local infrastructure, particularly the capacity of the Beanburn where a school drop-off loop road and alternative access to the north of the site have not been adequately investigated. Further objections to impacts of the increase in population on the school and health care. REPRESENTATION SUMMARY Objections and representations have been received to the application from 26 properties. These can be viewed in full on the Public Access website and the main grounds of objection include the following: Inadequacy of Beanburn to safely accommodate the development in that the road is currently overloaded, is used by large agricultural-related vehicles and school traffic, is too narrow, has an inadequate footpath on one side, is in poor condition, contains blind accesses and on-street parking, impacts of construction traffic etc. The Transport Statement is inaccurate and provides low traffic generation estimates. Use of Beanburn would be contrary to Local Development Plan Policies PMD2 and HD3. Road widening may involve private property. Safety concerns over traffic generation impacts on children and pedestrians. Lawfield Drive is also unsuitable for additional traffic with on-street parking problems. A better and alternative access should be investigated from the High Street to the north of the site. The large scale of the population increase, overdevelopment, lack of justified need and contrary to LDP Policies including PMD3, HD1 and the...
