January 2011: Historic Scotland advise that the building is subject to a live planning application - Demolition Of Existing Church Building And Erection Of Single Dwellinghouse And Detached Garage - which was granted, with conditions, in Apr 2002. ref: 02/0092/FL.
28 October 2014: External inspection finds the building appears very damp in places with further moss and vegetation growth evident.
