One house at 4 Corntown Dairy, Conon Bridge, Dingwall

“PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 The proposal is to erect a single house on an area of land between 3 Corntown Dairy and the public road. Access is taken from the existing private road that shares a junction with the unclassified public road identified as Leanaig Crossroads, Corntown. The private access is shared by the four other dwellings at Corntown Dairy.”

“Supporting Information: copy of title plan 1.6 Variations: Drainage arrangement amended to avoid existing soakaway for 3 Corntown Dairy and avoid trees within the curtilage of 5 Corntown. Updated drainage arrangement now runs through the field to the rear of 1-3 Corntown Dairy and continues to discharge into an existing watercourse. This requires a pump since the field to the rear is elevated above the application site. 2.”

“Numbers 2 and 3 form a semi-detached unit with 1 fully detached, all on the site of the former farm steading that was de-crofted two decades ago. Together, these homes form a small housing group with a slight gap where the proposed development is sited. This would connect them as both infill and rounding off the housing group at its natural barrier, that being the existing unclassified road to the southwest of the housing group.”
