Letter from Planning Officer

April 17, 2006

Today we received an email from Jon Howarth with an attached scan of a letter received from the Skye Planning Officer. The letter stated the following:

  • The Planning Officer is happy with the location of the house. This basically removes the issue with the inconsistency between the drawing and the actual house location noted by Jon Howarth and James MacQueen while pegging out the exact location of the house.
  • The inspection showed that the size of the bell mouth of the access road was too small. This means that Hughie has to do additional work to enlarge this space.
  • There was a vague comment on the materials to be used on the outside finish of the house. The suggested materials in the letter are however EXACTLY the materials mentioned on the submitted plans for obtaining detailed planning permission. Probably some minor oversight? Who knows, but we do not take this point as a critical issue.

Furthermore, we’re steering towards a small change in the design of the house by adding Velux windows in the attic area covering the central rectangular part of the house. These windows will add loads of opportunities to the house without adding too much cost.
