Plans to convert a garage into a holiday let have been submitted to Isle of Wight council.
The triple garage is situated within the grounds of Little Orchard in Apse Heath, and the applicant is seeking consent for the extension and conversion of the garage into a small two bed holiday unit.
The agent for the applicant, Paul Stack, adds that the proposal “is to provide high-quality units of self-catered accommodation that would amount to a bespoke and niche holiday offer that accords perfectly well with the requirements of Policy SP4, helping to sustain this rural enterprise”.
Surrounding development considered
The applicant explains in planning documents that the conversion has been developed and considered in the context of the locality and surrounding development, to ensure high quality visual impacts and visual upgrading of the site and locality. The property is within a rural setting, well screened on three boundaries.
Minor alterations
The conversion would involve relatively minor fenestration alterations, one rooflight and a new raised decking area, the building being finished in blue horizontal cladding with grey uPVC windows and doors.
