6. Install the children's play area to the south of the house development site.

7. We are applying to Perth and Kinross Council for a number of non-material variations in the planning consent, as follows:

A - The central courtyard will be subdivided into garden areas for each house.

B - Plant a hedge up the middle of the courtyard and subdivide the house plots with hedges rather than stone walls.

Purchaser maintenance obligations

A committee will be set up by the purchasers / future house owners to maintain the sewage treatment tank, the private water supply (electricity and motor, a new one was installed for the farm shop and restaurant for £2,000) and a recreational area into the future but the purchasers of the houses will be asked to cover these future maintenance charges.
