An application has been approved for the extension of a marquee at an award-winning wedding venue.
A submission was sent to the council's planning department on behalf of Sorn Castle.
The marquee was originally created in 2016, with a retrospective application made in 2019, and an extension also approved in 2022.
It has become a main feature of the award-winning venue, offering wonderful views of the surrounding land.

Despite being approved by East Ayrshire Council, the application received one note of objection, which focused on the noise impact of properties nearby.
The objection, submitted by John Dunlop, said: "On numerous occasions, the tranquil atmosphere of our evenings has been marred by a relentless bass rhythm, audibly permeating through our household even during late hours.
"Furthermore, the environmental noise impact assessment provided within the application fails to adequately address the concerns raised.
"I urge the planning authority to consider these issues diligently, possibly in collaboration with environmental health experts, specialising in noise pollution, to guide the applicant towards a more effective and sustainable long-term solution."
The application was granted with attached conditions.
They include: "The speakers will be orientate away from the residential properties and the sound level within the marquee is to be kept to an absolute limit of 85 decibels."
Planners say this is to protect the amenity of neighbouring homes.
