Officer's Report
The site represents the curtilage of an existing cottage which also has a range of stone out buildings which have been converted to tourist accommodation to a very high standard.
The cottage, which is the subject of this application, has been the subject of a previous proposal for extension which was refused (PA00/1515) and a subsequent proposal for demolition and rebuilding was approved (01/0105).
The applicant has always wished to retain the cottage and extend it rather than demolition. However, his last effort to enlarge it was not greeted favourably and introduced what were considered, changes which would adversely affect the character of the cottage whose front and side elevation are visible from the road and side elevation are visible from the road. Now proposed is an extension to the rear which leaves the front elevation unchanged. The rear extension has been designed to have the same length as the main ridge, keeping it in the same proportions and a chimney has been included to reduce the effect of length. A small single storey annex is also to be added at the side, furthest from the road.
