Planning policy in this area is covered by the Scottish Borders Local Plan 2024 which was formerly adopted by Scottish Borders Council on 22 August 2024.

According to the Scottish Borders Council online Planning Portal the property has full planning permission granted under the reference 16/00012/RREF following a successful appeal.

The upper half of the field will be preserved as open space, ensuring a sense of privacy and connection to the countryside.

This could provide greater flexibility in design, enabling a more spacious layout, enhanced privacy, and a larger garden or outdoor area. Any such amendment will require submitting a new planning application or a variation to the existing consent, subject to approval by the local planning authority. Buyers are advised to seek professional guidance to ensure compliance with planning regulations and to assess the feasibility of their proposed changes.
