The development has been recommended for approval.

If permission is granted, the hangar would have a footprint of 1,955 sq m and would be used to store six helicopters. It would also include changing facilities, a bothy and stores.

In addition, while the site is currently partly-used as a car park for BP offshore employees, the plans plans suggest altering the 21-space car park to instead provide 22 spaces, six taxi spaces and a one-way system.

The application will be discussed by the committee next Thursday (19 June).
