### Officer's Report

The application seeks approval for the conversion of the first floor of an existing storage/workshop building within the residential curtilage of a detached dwelling in Lezayre into guest accommodation.

The conversion is relatively modest requiring the insertion of windows and the construction of an external staircase to the first floor. I consider that the proposal is acceptable subject to the imposition of conditions and recommend that the application be approved.

### Recommendation

## Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal

C: Conditions for approval N: Notes attached to conditions R: Reasons for refusal O: Notes attached to refusals
