This application sought approval in principle for the erection of a dwelling on land adjacent to the Waterfall Hotel car park on Shore Road, Glen Maye. The Planning Committee permitted the application on 12 October 2004. The officer's report observed that the site sits within the woodland area of the glen and is not an obvious location for residential development. It also noted that the large car park immediately next to the site does not itself contribute positively to the landscape character of the area. Eight conditions were attached to the approval. A two-year extension to the approval in principle was subsequently granted by delegated minute in October 2006.
