Planning

Outline planning consent has been granted for a large detached bungalow to be constructed of stone with a slated roof. A copy of the Decision Notice and Planning Statement and Heritage Impact Assessment, are available for inspection.

Utilities

Water and electricity are available but there is no mains drainage to the site, so either a septic tank or a sewage treatment plant will be required.
