Planning

Dalcour Maclaren have provided an independent planning appraisal for the site that can be downloaded from the legal pack.  Part of their Executive Summary states:

"Four potential uses have been identified:

• Creation of a residential dwelling for the need of rural workers or additional dwellings as identified for local housing need.
• Construction of commercial units or general storage in keeping with the surrounding agricultural land.
• Potential extension of the caravan park to the east or camping area to the west.
• Creation of retail units to aid the sustainable development of the rural tourism industry already present within the local area.

The site is considered to be suitable for small scale development.  The countrywide setting offers opportunities for potential innovative land use options that complement the surrounding area."
