Officer's Report

The site relates to Middle Kerrowglass Farm, Coast Road, Michael. Proposed is detailed approval for the conversion of the existing outbuildings to 5 self contained tourist units.

Whilst the conversion is reasonably sympathetic the access road is narrow and the visibility onto the main road is very poor.

The access is unsafe for the scale of use now proposed.

R 1 . Whilst the Planning Committee does not object in principle to the conversion of the barns to tourist use, the scale of the proposed tourist use and level of traffic that would be generated by such development would result in an increase in vehicles entering into and existing from the farm lane. Due to the limited visibility of the farm lane, the access is considered to be unsuitable to serve the proposed development, and would be dangerously unsafe.
