ITEM 1: PLANNING APPLICATION 2004/256/PCD – 
TO ERECT DWELLINGHOUSE, NORTHTOWN ROAD, EXNABOE BY 
A J STEVEN AND V LAURENSON

Due to the fact that part of the above proposed development is situated in Zone 4 and part in Zone 1, the Chairman had decided to call a site meeting to discuss the matter further.  

The Chairman pointed out that Shetland Islands Council will object on Policy.  It was observed that the area of land in question is not ‘good agricultural ground’ and in fact resembles that of the recent controversial site in the area.  The Clerk confirmed that neither Shetland Islands Council nor Dunrossness Community Council have received any objections.  The applicants have received letters of support for the proposed development.  Mr Sinclair therefore proposed, seconded by Mr B Robertson, that the application be recommended for approval.  This was unanimously agreed for the following reasons:

a)	part of the site is in Zone 1 and part in Zone 4

b)	the land is not considered to be ‘good agricultural ground’
