Planning committee
Decided by Aberdeenshire Garioch Area Committee on 21 Apr 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the small driveway would retain the open character, tree and most of the amenity space.
- Residents raised concerns about traffic, parking, loss of open space, neighbour amenity, maintenance and the proposed boundary treatments.
- The committee granted permission with conditions and accepted the departure from open-space policies.
