Planning committee
Decided by Argyll Planning, Protective Services and Licensing Committee on 15 Sept 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the roof alterations support ancillary owner’s accommodation without intensifying use or harming neighbours’ amenity.

- The committee agreed to grant permission subject to conditions, including approved details and obscure glazing.
