The application concerns an old detached cottage set at right angles to the main road through Dalby. It proposes installing four Velux windows, extending the existing garage, reinstating cement panels to the front fascia, and reinstating the end gable window. The current access emerges on a slope close to the house wall with poor sightlines, though it is in use. The decision was made by the Director of Planning under delegated powers and approved as permitted. Four conditions were attached. The alterations match the building's style and preserve its character; the access, while poor, is existing and improved by a mirror.

The application was approved because the proposed alterations fit the building's style and retain the property's character. The existing access, though with poor sightlines, is in use and will be improved with a mirror.
