Development History
August 1994: External inspection reveals the lodge to be disused, with its windows boarded up. Finart is now used as a BP Oil Terminal, though the lodge sits right by the road, outwith the main compound. November 2000: Local planners report that there has been some deterioration to the roof.
December 2009: External inspection finds the former lodge is fairly good condition but in need of reguylar roof and gutter clearing of vegetation.
25 October 2012: External inspection finds no significant change from the previous site visit. Minor maintenance to roof and gutters have been carried out.
