Old House Demolished for New One

A new family home is set to rise on Jocks Hill after planners overturned objections to demolish an old, barely visible house—once thought to be Arts & Crafts but actually built in the 1940s with questionable craftsmanship. Architects argued the site’s natural concealment and the new design’s thoughtful materials would blend seamlessly, while councillors confirmed the old structure was in poor condition and the new roof would sit lower. With trees surrounding the site, the committee agreed the impact would be minimal, giving the project the green light with conditions attached.
