### Officer's Report

Planning approval is sought to construct a replacement single storey dwelling on land to the west of Colby Glen Road, Arbory. The site is located within the designated Conservation Area, and whilst the

application refers to eth building on site as a derelict cottage, it is considered that the site still retains its residential use.

The dwelling proposed would be single storey with dormer accommodation to the rear. Timber frame sliding sash windows are also proposed, together with a slate roof. Access to the site would be via an amended access to the north of the site which allows for the parking and turning of vehicles within the site.

The proposal is considered to be acceptable, and without adverse impact on the character and amenity of the Conservation Area in which the site is located.
