Amendments

Amendments

We finally got our planning approval through in January 2016 and up until recently we were fairly happy with it but Donald has given us so many ideas and options to consider it’s left our heads spinning, so a few months back we decided to put in an amendment.

The property doesn’t have any land but nearly half of the field behind the hall is in a class 3 flood zone so it’s unlikely to ever be built upon and so, we decide to take on half of Donald’s idea to open up the rear, but not the inside wall to the elements. Doing this will (hopefully) turn the pantry into an open air seating area which we can use to site a long bench or some patio furniture and somewhere to place a BBQ or a little gas stove.

It isn’t long before we hear back from the planners but again, it looks like we have some more hoops to jump through. We are planning to partly wall up the door to make walking into the field more difficult but it seems we might be in for another long drawn out process as it again goes away for consideration with the planners.

Although we didn’t really consider this in the original application, like most people putting in planning, we really don’t see how the plans will work without it now. So once again, it’s a case of fingers crossed.
