The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Ancillary use only
The garage/workshop building, hereby permitted, shall be used only for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse at Thie Jeroi, Mullinaragher Road, St Marks, and shall not at any time be occupied at any time other than for purposes ancillary to the residential use of the site as a single dwelling and only in accordance with the internal layout shown on plan 2401/03. Reason: To ensure that the Garage/Workshop remains ancillary to the use of Thie Jeroi as the lawfully erected single dwelling on the site. This is due to the application site being located in the open countryside where planning permission for a separate unit of living accommodation would not be granted unless there was an identified and justified need - such as a requirement for an agricultural or forestry worker.
