The proposal seeks full planning permission for repair of walls and fences, forming hardstanding and installing a drain at the site of the former Braemar Lodge Hotel, which was demolished following a fire in March 2022. There have been representations from the public objecting to the proposal due to the building being demolished without permission, concerns over contaminated land and concerns over drainage on site. Contaminated land and Sepa are satisfied that there is no evidence of contamination and drainage proposal has been altered to with Flood risk and coastal protection confirming that it is acceptable.
