Permission was granted for the erection of a dwelling with garage and parking on part of Field 614729, Baldrine Road, Baldrine, Lonan. The application sought amendments to a dwelling already approved under a previous permission (12/01476/B), with construction already well under way at the time of the application. The amendments included reducing the main part of the dwelling from 8.7m to 6.9m in depth, a small reduction in height of approximately 200mm, the removal of dormers replaced by rooflights, and a reduction in the rear sunroom from 5.7m to 3.5m deep. These changes resulted in a smaller overall building than originally approved. The officer recommended approval, with key planning considerations including the impact on public and private amenity, highway safety, parking provision, access arrangements, and surface water and sewage disposal. The application was decided by delegated authority.

The application was permitted on 2 July 2015 under delegated authority. The officer recommended approval, and the proposal involved amendments to a dwelling already under construction on the site, reducing its overall scale and removing dormers in favour of rooflights.
