Site of Former Rowan Cottage, by Barbour Road, G84

The plot is accessed via a metal field gate which leads to a farm track which follows the Dowal Burn to the plot. Beyond the track is a field path which leads to the village. The plot was formerly the site of Rowan Cottage, a single storey non-traditional 3-bedroom cottage, which was demolished in
2022. The site has been cleared and carefully tended to and enjoyed as a much-loved rural retreat, overlooking the magnificent flora and fauna of the area. Through the woodland there are stunning views of Dunoon and the Isle of Arran. The demolition of the former cottage was granted under Permitted Development Rights, the planning reference was 21/02434/PNDEM on Argyll & Bute planning portal. Replacement of the cottage or change of use is subject to obtaining the necessary
consents. For parties considering planning permission for the site, the National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) sets out our spatial principles, regional priorities, national developments and national
