Scottish Borders Council - complaint was from a man (Mr C) against Scottish Borders Council (the Council). The complaint concerned the Council's handling of an application for planning permission for the erection of a dwellinghouse within the grounds of a former hotel in the village of X. Mr C's property was adjacent to the site, known as plot 4 (hotel site). Mr C contended that the Council failed to ensure that the development was in accordance with the Council's planning policy and procedure for the village, and that it constituted over-development of the site, which adversely affected the amenity of his property. The complaint was not upheld.
