Dundee City Council is set to spend thousands of pounds carrying out work at a city primary school found to have Raac.
The local authority will shell out £84,000 reinforcing the roof of Ardler Primary School.
An additional structural support system will be installed beneath the existing roof.
Ardler Primary School was one of two schools in Dundee which were found to contain Raac in the roof structure.
A building standards warrant, lodged on the planning portal, outlines what work will be carried out.
The application reads: “This support system will consist of timber joists strategically positioned to provide additional support to the existing roof structure.
“These joists will be supported by the existing structural framework, ensuring that the load from the Raac panels is safely transferred and distributed which will reduce the loading on the Raac itself.
“The joist layout has been designed to ensure no existing services are required to be altered in the ceiling void.”
Improvements to sailing club
Meanwhile, Tay Sail Training (TST) is seeking permission to “improve and expand the shore facilities” at its Broughty Ferry base.
TST was founded by members of the Royal Tay Yacht Club in 2003 to “promote community participation” through provision of “facilities for sailing and related water sports activities”.
An application has been lodged with Dundee City Council seeking permission to improvements to the facilities at Grassy Beach at the foot of Ogilvie Road.
This will involve providing up-to-date changing, showering and toilet facilities and accommodation to “sustain and develop the existing sports of sailing, rowing and powerboating”.
If the application is approved, the existing toilets and storage sheds will be removed and replaced with a new building.
A supporting statement details that this will be be steel frame with metal cladding. It will be a similar style and construction to the two boathouses erected in 2014.
Billboards row decision
The firm behind rejected plans for two large electronic billboards at the Overgate Shopping Centre has lost an appeal to overturn the council’s decision.
London Lites Ltd submitted an application for two LED digital advertisement displays on the outside of the shopping centre in November last year.
But the local authority refused the application on the grounds the screens would have an adverse impact on the “character and appearance” of the Overgate.
The London-based company subsequently appealed the decision to the Scottish Government.
It argued the public would expect to see a range of commercial images in a city centre shopping location.
However, the case reporter has now dismissed the appeal – ruling the proposed billboards would “contrast and detract” from the “otherwise clean lines of the building”.
