Erect Boundary Walls and Fences Around Stornoway Harbour DS21.01	131	PLANNING APPLICATIONS With reference to item 113 of the Minute of Meeting of 16 June 1999, the Acting Director of Environmental Services submitted a Report concerning an application for planning permission for the delineation of the Stornoway Harbour area with walls and railings, on the basis that the walls and railings would extend from Cromwell Street to Perceval Square to North Beach to Pier No 1 on South Beach. The Report gave background information, commented on the application and indicated that representations had been received. It was agreed to recommend that the Acting Director of Environmental Services be authorised to refuse planning permission for the delineation of the Stornoway Harbour area with walls and railings, for the following reason: The proposed walls and railings will, by reasons of their siting, height and length, appear dominant within the heart of Stornoway and will fail to either preserve or enhance the character of the Stornoway Outstanding Conservation Area.
