“The fourth criteria confirms that outside development boundaries the existing dwelling is not capable of retention through renovation and extension and/or demonstrated that the repair of the existing building is not economically feasible.”

“The cost of refurbishing the existing dwelling is far greater than the cost of rebuilding a new dwelling and it is therefore considered that it is more economically feasible to demolish the existing dwelling and re- build a new dwelling. The proposal complies with the fourth criteria.”

“The replacement dwelling is not on the same footprint as the existing dwelling; however, it is located approximately 5m away from the footprint of the existing dwelling and located on the footprint part of the stone outbuilding that is to be demolished. It is not considered that moving the dwelling approx. 5m to the North West will have any greater visual or amenity impact than the location of the existing dwelling.”

“The application proposes an increase in scale and massing compared to the existing dwelling, however, the design of the replacement dwelling will integrate into the landscape due to the design and high quality of the dwelling. The scale and design of the replacement dwelling will not create a visual impact significantly greater than the existing dwelling and complies with criteria seven of Policy TAI13.”
