Planning documents go live

Posted on October 12, 2012 by nager

It’s taken a few days for Highland Council to get all the relevant documents up onto their planning website. But now all the documents related to the house at Cuil Bay are now live. If you want to see them then click on the photo below and it will take you there. If it doesn’t work go to the Highland Planning website and type in the code 12/03817/FUL or click here

Now there is a period of consultation where comments are welcomed …. waiting with baited breath!

I will be maintaining radio silence on issues related to the planning application until the process is complete, however expect more time for blogs on things I like to do near Cuil.

We’re going to planning!

The final dots are going on the ‘i’s and crosses on the ‘t’s and our house is nearly ready to go to planning.

After a monumental amount of work from our devoted architects (55north/John Gilberts) we are at this stage at last. There appears to be a huge number of documents associated with planning and these will all be up on the public website soon. When they are on the web I will link to them here.

One of the many documents is a design statement where many of the surrounding houses have a starring role. Its a bit of blurb all about vernacular, character, building form, prevailing textures and the like. It’s classic architect-speak. My favourite phrase ….

‘The interior style of the house is reflected in a confident modern exterior style rather than a pastiche’
