The officer's report raised concern that the size and location of the garage would be visually detrimental. The officer recommended refusal, and the committee decided to refuse the application on 31 October 2007. The site comprises the residential curtilage of Cummal Beg and an area of adjacent land. There is some planning history associated with the site, though the details of those earlier decisions are not set out in the available evidence.
