Planning committee

Decided by Orkney Planning Committee on 25 Mar 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the cabin complied with relevant policies and the objections did not outweigh the proposal’s acceptability.
  • Two objectors raised concerns about overlooking, noise, overdevelopment, appearance, possible works beyond the boundary and access.
  • The committee granted permission after finding the objections insufficient to warrant refusal and the development consistent with relevant policies.
