Planning Full planning permission F/APP/2013/0497 was granted on 3rd May 2013 for the erection of four dwellinghouses with garages. Copies of the planning permission can be seen online at www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/planning or are available from selling agents. The Plots/Houses - General The proposed detached dwellinghouses have been sited to maximise the views and privacy. Each has master bedroom en-suites with dressing room/wash room facilities, south-facing glazing with fewer north facing openings, options for open plan living room and interesting spaces for books/artworks and the like. It is proposed to use a range of natural materials including slate, dry-stone walling, pale wet-dash render, homegrown timber cladding and painted timber windows and doors. Garden rooms or even whole dwellings would feature solid timber flooring in oak or douglas fir. Boundaries would be elegantly landscaped and planted to age gracefully and screen neighbouring properties without the need for tall fences. It is intended that the finished dwellinghouses are environmentally friendly. Renewable measures, including heating and hot water, be supplemented by a wood burning stove within each dwellinghouse. Furthermore, the houses are to be super-insulated with Low U values well beyond that required by current building standards, possibly incorporating solar panels to the garage roof areas depending on specification. Notwithstanding the orientation of the properties, a southerly aspect is provided to all four properties. None of the properties are overshadowed and all plots have fine views over the surrounding countryside. The plots will be well screened from each other and surrounding properties. Courtyards are to be formed between the garage and dwellinghouses with covered entrances and shelter from any winds. As plots, each site will be serviced as follows:- Power, water and telephone lines will be provided to the site boundary, the water will be fed from a private water supply. Details available on request. NB Drainage will be by individual septic tank within the individual plot boundary at purchasers cost.
