Construction of a new 4 bedroom detached bungalow

 

The application was for the construction of a new four bedroom detached single storey dwelling and was referred to Committee at the request of Cllr Hossack as follows:

 

·           The adjacent development known as “The Grange” had five dwellings on the site and this final plot would complete the development, forming 6 units, 3 each side making it a symmetrical development.  Completed properties were currently unsold because of this builder’s yard adjacent the site.  Design was in keeping with the five properties already built.  The proposal would have no impact on the openness of the green belt.

 

Mr Amor, the applicant, was present and addressed the Committee in support of the application.

 

Cllr Miss Sanders MOVED and Cllr McCheyne SECONDED that the application be APPROVED as  the design and layout of the proposed development would assimilate well with the surrounding development to the benefit of this particular site in this particular location.
