Planning committee
Decided by Aberdeenshire Marr Area Committee on 14 Apr 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because one modest dwelling could fit within the settlement without harming its character, subject to later design details.
- Residents raised concerns about loss of privacy and amenity; an objector addressed the committee on those issues.
- The committee granted planning permission in principle subject to conditions.
