Decided by East Lothian Planning Committee on 2 Jun 2026.
Approved unanimously
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised granting permission because the house would fit the area, protect neighbours’ amenity and avoid harm to the conservation area.
- Residents and the community council raised concerns about privacy, sunlight, parking, coal mining, historic character and the conservation area.
- The committee granted consent by a majority, with Councillor Gilbert voting against, subject to conditions.
