General Policy 2
General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site and surroundings (b), does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character (c), does not harm local amenities or locality character (g), and provides satisfactory standards including access and parking (h). The officer assessed the change of use with no external changes, finding no visual impact, compliance with parkland zoning character, and no amenity harm due to ancillary nature and proximity to main house.

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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Ancillary use only
The building shall not be occupied at any time other than for purposes incidental to the residential use of the dwelling known as Ballavoddan and shall not be occupied as an independent dwelling unit.
