The brief was to provide a new build dwelling of approximately 3,500 – 4,000 ft/2 on the site, using the previous approval for Class Q change of use as ‘the fallback’ position. Ordinarily the principle for a new house in this location would have been rejected due to the unsustainable nature of the location, however with the ‘fall back’ position already providing a new dwelling the planning application was the replacement of this and therefore more acceptable.
