Schedule Of Conditions:
- This approval is in principle only and will remain valid for a period of two years within which time no development may take place until such time as details of the reserved matters (siting, design, external appearance, internal layout, means of access, landscaping) have been approved by the Planning Authority. Such reserved matters should form the subject of a single application.
- This permission relates to the principle of the replacement of the existing dwelling with a new one, positioned further from 1, Ballacallin Cottages and further from the public highway and in terms of position, as generally shown in the plan reference 0703/PL01 received on 16th August, 2007. No approval is granted or implied to the size of new dwelling or the appearance as shown in this drawing (see below).
- Notwithstanding the size and appearance of dwelling shown in the submitted plan, the new dwelling must be designed as a modest, traditional farmhouse, comparable in size and character to the existing, with a principal frontage not exceeding 11m and an overall footprint not exceeding 150% of the size of the existing cottage (for the avoidance of doubt, that is, the size of the existing footprint plus up to 50% of additional ground floor area).
