Plans include demolishing the Abington Hotel cottage to provide ten new homes with an access road and parking.

If approved, the Michael Nisbet Architects-designed plans could see two one-and-a-half-storey homes, six single-storey houses and two single-storey detached houses being built.

The site where the new development is planned for is currently in use as a hotel, cottage and open ground.

The cottage on the grounds does not meet current housing standards and has been vacant for many years.

The Abington Hotel is a three-star hotel with 28 bedrooms in the village of Abington in Biggar.
