What’s proposed

for Protected Structure (RPS Nos. 3441 and 3952). The development will consist of construction of a single-storey service building (c. 34 sq.m) associated with the holiday lodge development previously permitted under Planning Ref. No. 24/60949, together with minor amendments to Lodge Type A as permitted under the same planning reference, and all associated site works and services. The proposed amendments comprise: localised adjustment to the floor plan resulting in an increase in floor area of c. 6 sq.m; lowering of the finished floor level of Lodges Nos. 1-6 by 400mm, with no impact on the permitted ridge height; minor roof alterations, including a lowered hipped roof to the north-west elevation of the lodge and the provision of an additional Velux-type rooflight to the ensuite; minor adjustments to external paths and terrace areas; aesthetic alteration to fenestration and associated adjustment of site layout plan and sections
