Go-ahead given for Lhanbryde hotel demolition
Councillors today gave the go-ahead for a former Lhanbryde hotel to be demolished to make way for a Co-op convenience store.
The application by Tahir Pervaiz attracted more than 120 objections from local villagers.
However, his proposals were approved at a special meeting of Moray Council’s planning and regulatory services committee following a three-hour hearing.
Several of the objectors spoke in favour of the hotel building, the original part of which dates from the mid-19th century, being preserved.
Some also claimed the development would compromise road safety by generating more traffic on an already busy stretch of road through Lhanbryde.
