Summary
The owner wants to knock down the existing house on this site and replace it with a personal gym made from two shipping containers, plus an outdoor sauna. These would be used only by the family, not as a business. The site is in a quiet coastal spot in Cove, near the Firth of Clyde. Most nearby properties are shielded from the site by other buildings, though a small number to the north-east have a direct line of sight. Cove Community Fire Station is about a 5-10 minute walk away. The loss of the existing house is the main change here. The shipping container gym and sauna are relatively low structures, but removing a dwelling entirely is an unusual step.
