Date of Decision: April 15, 2025

Purpose: Referred to committee following Local Member Consultation as members want discussion on Policy 26 (Business and industry) and Policy 29 (Rural development) of NPF4 and on Policy R2 (Development Proposals Elsewhere in the Countryside) of the ADLP 2023.

Content: Agreed to grant on the grounds that the proposal would provide a suitable small-scale employment proposal in a remote rural area, in a location that was considered to be appropriate for the nature of the dog-grooming business and that could be safely accessed on foot and by car, and would provide a valued business, complementary to other businesses already on the site. The application was considered to comply with Policy 29 Rural Development of National Planning Framework 4 and Policy R2 Development Proposals Elsewhere in the Countryside, with specific reference to R2.19 and R2.20.
