Retrospective Planning Bid Submitted for Log Processing and Fabrication Facility in…
What happened
Emond Engineering submitted a retrospective planning bid to Scottish Borders Council for a log processing facility in Selkirk that was constructed without prior approval. The application also requests permission for a fabrication workshop to manufacture steel-framed buildings. The applicant stated they were unaware that planning permission was required for the initial log storage premises.

Why it matters
The proposal involves two complementary commercial uses: a tenant-operated log storage facility that processes timber into low-carbon heating fuel for the domestic market, and an applicant-operated workshop providing specialized steel building fabrication. RM Architecture noted the proposal supports two independent local businesses and creates direct local employment.
