Planning committee
Decided by South Lanarkshire Planning Committee on 8 Sept 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the proposal reused vacant land, respected the area and raised no significant amenity, environmental or infrastructure issues.
- Nine objections raised concerns about overdevelopment, privacy, noise, access, traffic, parking, drainage and landscaping.
- The committee granted permission subject to conditions and a Section 75 or other appropriate agreement.
