Car port and store at 3 Cadham Crescent, Glenrothes
Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by Fife Planning Committee; West and Central Area Planning Committee; North East Planning Committee on 26 Aug 2026.
What was proposed
Retrospective permission was sought for a car port and store beside the dwellinghouse.
“Planning permission is sought in retrospect for the erection of the car port/store to the west side of the house, as a result of enforcement case No. 25/00446/ENF.”
Officer report
The site
The property is a semi-detached two-storey house in a cul-de-sac within a conservation area.
“The application property is a semi-detached, two storey dwellinghouse, set in a cul-de-sac of similar style properties, within Cadham conservation area.”
Officer report
Earlier planning history
Earlier retrospective and extension applications for the property had been permitted, including an outbuilding and relocated garage.
“Previous applications received for this property are 16/03555/FULL, erection of outbuilding (retrospective), permitted with conditions 23/12/16, 04/02009/CFULL, amendment to application 03/04037/CFULL to relocate domestic garage (retrospective), permitted 29/6/04 and 03/04037/CFULL, erection of extension to dwellinghouse and single domestic garage, permitted with conditions 13/1/04.”
Officer report
Officers’ assessment
Officers considered the structure appropriate in design, conservation and residential amenity terms and recommended unconditional approval.
“The matters to be assessed against the development plan and other material considerations are: • Design/Visual Amenity/Impact on the Conservation Area • Residential Amenity…”
“With the car port/store being located to the west side of the house on the existing hardstanding area to the front of the existing detached garage, this structure would have no impact on the garden ground area as such outdoor amenity space does not include existing access, parking and turning areas. Therefore the erection of a car port on land already not forming part of the designated garden would have no impact on the remaining available garden space.”
Officer report
The committee’s decision
The committee approved the retrospective application without condition.
“26/00350/FULL - 3 CADHAM CRESCENT GLENROTHES FIFE The committee considered a report by the Head of Planning, Climate and Sustainability Service relating to the erection of car port/store to side of dwellinghouse (retrospective). Decision The committee agreed to approve the application without condition.”
