### Officer's Report

Approval is sought to convert an existing stone outbuilding at Upper Scard farm to form tourist accommodation. The site is accessed from the A36 Sloc Road, with tow access points onto this road. Planning permission was granted in August 2003 for the creation of a by pass road around Lower Scard Farm, through which visitors to the site must pass.

The proposed conversion would provide accommodation in three units with 2No. 1 bed and 1No 3bed. All units would be self-contained and the proposal has the support of the Department of Tourism. Subject to condition, I consider the proposal to be acceptable.
