Each house would have an integral garage and additional parking spaces, while the application also provides for a more formal staff car-parking area at the site, which would be reached via the existing access off the A697.

The design and access statement submitted with the application says: ‘The existing building line formed by the two-storey house to the north of the site and the bungalow to the south of the site has been a key consideration in designing the site layout and the three proposed dwellings will form part of this existing building line.

‘The proposed site layout has been designed to give each dwelling garden space to the front and the rear of the house and provide sufficient private parking for the future owners of each dwelling.

‘The orientation of the proposed dwellings is such that the main facades are on the west and east elevations. In particular, the eastern elevations of the three units have a significant amount of glazing.

‘Units 1 and 3 also benefit from balconies to allow the future inhabitants to benefit from the views to the west towards the sea.’
