The Buchan Area Committee decided to grant Listed Building Consent for the installation of a flood door at Reul Na Mara, 3 Harbour Street, Boddam on 03 June 2025. This decision was a departure from Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan Policy HE1 and National Planning Framework 4 Policy 7. The committee noted that the proposed uPVC door's impact on the listed building's integrity was outweighed by the need for flood protection.
