The removal of the bund would increase openness of the Green Belt. The proposal would upgrade and improve the holiday accomodation and would encourage holiday makers to the area. Any views of the site would be over considerable distances. The relevant policies/proposals of the development plan are: , Local Plan GB1, GB2, N2, F1, T5, P4.

The applicant’s attention is also drawn to the requirements of the Party Wall Act 1996, which may affect your submitted proposals. The applicant must notify all affected neighbours if work, which you are intending to carry out, falls within the Act. This may include work on an existing wall shared with another property, building on the boundary or excavating near a neighbouring property. However, the applicant is advised that this is not a matter dealt with by this Authority and it is recommended that you seek suitable professional advice.
