Welcome to our regular look at the latest planning applications lodged with and decided by Moray Council.
This week, Coleburn Distillery is looking for the go ahead to transform a workshop building into a cafe.
Moray planners have approved the transformation of a Keith business into a home and the demolition of farm buildings to make way for whisky storage warehouses.
Elgin distillery cafe
Colin Armstrong architects is representing Dale and Mark Winchester in the application for the cafe.
The brothers who own the 19th century distillery, which is near Fogwatt south of Elgin, previously had planning permission and listed building consent.
But they are looking to renew it now work is ready to move forward.
The project for a whisky shop and cafe has been in the pipeline for more than a decade.
They wish to enhance their visitor experience by forming a Cafe in the unused piggery building located on the Coleburn Distillery campus.
Cafe into home
A former cafe could be turned into a two bedroom property.
The Crossroads cafe, at Buckie’s 9 West Church Street, is proposed for a change of use.
Now CP Plan is representing Joan Douglas in the application for the change of use of the building.
It will comprise two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and living room.
In the past week, Moray Council has also determined some applications.
Ex-business will be turned into home
The couple were represented by John Wink, for the change of use of the shop at 67 Mid Street, Keith into a home.
It used to be the base for T.A Smith painters and decorators.
Whisky storage warehouses
This will take place at Viewfield Farm, Craigellachie.
Ken Mathieson Architectural Design Ltd represented Caley Casks.
Further planning applications can be viewed using Moray Council’s portal.
