Network Rail have objected to a developer’s plans to transform an old railway station signal box in Perthshire - said to be the only one of its kind still in existence - into holiday accommodation.
A company calling itself Murthly Signal Box Ltd, after the boarded-up B-listed building it wishes to renovate, applied to Perth and Kinross Council for consent to make the change two months ago.
Glasgow-based architects Lucid Architecture told the local authority in a supporting statement their proposal involved turning the late 19th Century structure into “a small tourist letting unit” comprising a new bedroom or bed area, a small living area, a kitchen and a shower room.
