A BEACH hut on Tiree which is at the centre of a planning row has been given a stay of execution after councillors decided to continue the application for retrospective planning permission until January because they could not come to a decision, writes Louise Glen.
Balevuillin Beach hut was the sole topic of conversation at an Argyll and Bute Council planning meeting held on the island on Monday to discuss whether the hut, built without planning permission, should be removed.
Council planning officers had recommended the hut be removed, but during lengthy discussions in a packed An Talla Community Hall the applicant, Iona Larg, said the enforced dismantling of the hut would destroy her business, one of the few in a growth phase.
