This application sought approval in principle to demolish an existing cottage and outbuildings at Sunnyside, The Lhen, Andreas, and replace them with a four-bedroom detached dwelling with garaging. The site sits on the southern side of the A10 at The Lhen, in open countryside and within an Area of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance. The site is slightly elevated in the landscape and had previously been extended to the rear and side, with a number of outbuildings present. The application was refused by the Committee in December 2005, consistent with the officer's recommendation to refuse.

The application was refused by the Committee. The officer also recommended refusal. The site sits in open countryside within an Area of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance, which appears to have been a central concern with the proposed demolition and replacement dwelling.
