The Planning and Building Standards Committee is scheduled to consider several planning applications, including a proposed neighbourhood retail store, the conversion of stables into apartments, and a residential development. The committee will also review a request to extend the operational lifespan of a wind farm.

New Retail Store Near West Linton

A proposal for the demolition of three agricultural sheds at Land north of Howieson Hall Farmhouse in West Linton is scheduled for discussion. The plans include the erection of a neighbourhood retail store, along with new access, parking, and associated infrastructure.

Spottiswoode House Conversions

The committee is expected to review plans for alterations and a change of use at Spottiswoode House in Gordon. The proposals involve converting stables into three self-catering apartments and creating an office from dog kennels, as well as the installation of a free-standing air source heat pump with an enclosure.

Affordable Housing Development in Selkirk

A residential development comprising 59 affordable dwellinghouses and associated works at Land Previously Heather Mills in Selkirk is also on the agenda.
