Description

Damknowe is a rarely available development site set on Scotland's most southerly point near the Mull of Galloway. The coastline is a short distance away with clifftop walks and countryside pursuits available straight from the site. There are sandy beaches, shingle, and rocky coves to explore along with a plethora of native wildlife which can be enjoyed on a daily basis.

The proposed dwelling at Damknowe is to be single storey with traditional gable widths and finishes to allow the house to relate well to scale, density, massing, character and appearance. Vehicle access is to be via an existing established track leading from the existing public road, the track has recently benefited from repairs with graded hardcore. The house is to be designed and constructed to create a low carbon dwelling with renewable energy sources from ground mounted solar panels and a wind turbine to serve a dedicated battery store within the "Tech Room", further renewables are proposed from the roof mounted solar thermal collectors generating domestic hot water for house. It is proposed to extend the existing curtilage, only to allow for the siting of the ground mounted solar array and erection of the modest domestic wind turbine. The existing traditional stone outbuildings are to remain and to be utilized for general storage or for a small number of farm animals.

Any interested parties should make enquiries with regard to the planning with Dumfries and Galloway Council's Planning Department using the reference: 23/2272/FUL -
