Purpose

This application was considered at the Marr
Area Committee on the 20th August but was deferred to allow the
committee to undertake a site visit. The site visit was carried out
on the 27th August and further information was provided to clarify
the ground levels on site. 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.
