Change of use for Kinloss Golf Clubhouse to help security, new life for Cullen butchers and Findhorn play plans

Change of use for Kinloss Golf Clubhouse into a house has been approved.
Change of use for Kinloss Golf Clubhouse into a house has been approved.

Welcome to our regular look at the latest planning applications passing before Moray Council.

Officials have approved plans to transform a Moray golf clubhouse into a house due to security concerns.

Also, a former butchers will be given new life.

Elsewhere, there are plans to replace play equipment at Findhorn eco-village.

And there are plans afoot for an extension to an art studio in Forres.

Read on for more details.

APPROVED: Change of use for Moray golf clubhouse

A Moray golf clubhouse is to become a home.

Tommy Dingwall was represented by Grant and Geoghegan in the proposals for Kinloss Country Golf Club.

The golf course is currently under construction and major development is being
carried out on the land for dwellings and holiday lodges.

What the house will look like at Kinloss golf club.

Directors previously said they need a permanent presence at the course. Turning the clubhouse into a house will give that, and secure and protect their investments.

They say they have had “numerous” break-ins and damage to property and machinery.

In a planning statement, golf officials said: “With the mobile units in mind we feel the clubhouse will be surplus to requirements.

“In recent years public houses have struggled to maintain profitability and we like many others look for ways to improve and adapt our business.”

APPROVED: Former butchers will be turned into home

A former butcher shop is another business being turned into a home.

Rosie Henderson was represented by Grant and Geoghegan Limited in the change of use application for the former AG Jappy butchers at 19 Grant Street, Cullen.

The Park in Findhorn began as a pioneering experiment and has since grown to become one of the most recognised eco-villages in the UK.

Berent Korfker has lodged the application.

SUBMITTED: Extension to Forres home

Plans are in to alter and extend part of a Forres home to form a utility room, loo and shower room and annex.

The property in question is a traditional five-bedroomed house called Suilven in Forres’s Market Street.

C M Design is representing Mr D McLeod in the application.
