Shooting estate owners have been denied permission to build a “fairy-tale” castle on their land in Perthshire after officials ruled the proposal went “substantially beyond” anything they would be prepared to approve.
Rod and Sheila Flavell of Logiealmond Estate west of Harrietfield applied to Perth and Kinross Council in March for permission to knock down a disused shooting lodge house dating back to the 1860s and erect a three storey high Scots Baronial style structure in its place.
Architects working for the pair told PKC in a design statement the proposed new build would contain a grand entrance hall, 10 bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a sun room and a wine cellar in the basement.
