Review Statement
Planning Application Ref: 21/01895/FLL
Alteration & Extension to Dwelling
5 King Duncan's Place, Birnam, Dunkeld, PH8 0QD
This statement has been prepared in relation to the above planning application which was refused on
9th December 2021.
The proposals include for extension of the existing dwelling and conversion and extension of the
existing garage to create further ancillary accommodation associate with the dwelling. In addition,
landscaping is proposed to increase the availability of parking and turning areas within the curtilage of
the dwelling.
This report supports the application and dismisses the reasons for refusal, demonstrating the
application should be approved due to compliance with local an national planning policy and
guidance.
The application was determined in an unexpected short period and during the course of the
application, no opportunity was given for further discussion.
Reasons for Refusal
The following XKGYUTY LUX XKL[YGR GTJ GYYKYYSKTZ ]OZNOT ZNK IGYK ULLOIKXdY JKRKMGZKJ XKVUXZ JU TUZ
represent an adequate understanding of the proposals and application of the stated policy/guidance:
1. The proposal lacks an adequate physical and functional relationship to the host dwellinghouse.
Approval would be contrary to Policies 1A and 1B(c) of Perth & Kinross Local Development Plan 2
(2019) which seek to ensure that the siting of all development respects the character and amenity
of the place.
2. Approval would be contrary to Perth & Kinross Council's Placemaking Guide, March 2020 which
seeks to discourage particularly large, dominant, unsuitable or inappropriately designed or located
developments that are not in keeping with the existing built form, landscape character or established
amenity levels.
3. Approval would be contrary to Perth & Kinross Council's Ancillary and Annex Accommodation 2021
supplementary guidance which seeks to discourage proposals which have no physical relationship
to the principal dwellinghouse and as such would ultimately lead to the creation of a new residential
unit.
From the Case Officerds report of handling, the reasons for refusal focus on the development of the
garage as ancillary accommodation. The extension to the dwelling house is seen as acceptable and in
accordance with LDP2 and Supplementary guidance documents and is not brought into question.
Therefore, the focus of the appeal is on the development of the garage as ancillary accommodation.
61

Page 10

Assessment
Each of the above reasons for refusal will be addressed in turn below:
There is no cnewd structure proposed on the site. The works are focused on an existing garage
building which, by nature of its use as a garage, is an established, existing structure with both a
physical and functional relationship to the main dwelling.
Conversion of a garage to form additional space for a dwelling is a common form of development and
in most cases would usually be considered Permitted Development.
In its existing form, the garage sits in close proximity to the main dwelling, demonstrating a close
physical relationship. It is also located in the immediate vicinity of the parking area and is the first
structure visible when arriving on the site. The garage is used, for storage of domestic belongings,
demonstrating a functional relationship with the house.
The proposals maintain the physical and functional relationship with the main dwelling through the
same building being converted and extended. The nature of use remains domestic in nature and it will
be used, principally, to accommodate the applicants elderly relatives when they visit.
A separate, safe, private, space will allow the guests to maintain some degree of independence and
privacy, not disturbing the applicantds daily home and homeworking life, while being on hand for
immediate care as required.
The modest extension to the garage allows for the inclusion of a small kitchenette within the proposals
to allow a basic level of independence to be achieved. This is not proposed to be a fully functional
kitchen space, with this facility being provided in the main house.
Conversion of the garage fulfils the applicantds requirement for additional space through use of an
existing structure. This limits further development of the site and the use continues to respect the
character and amenity of the area in accordance with Policies 1A and 1B(c) of Perth & Kinross Local
Development Plan 2 (2019), Placemaking Guidance and other supplementary guidance.
The proposals meet all the requirements of the Adopted Placemaking Guide (March 2020) in the
following manner:
(a) Create a sense of identity by developing a coherent structure of streets, spaces, and
buildings, safely accessible from its surroundings.
The existing streetscape will not be altered, and a close relationship of the garage and
existing house creates a safe and coherent space joined by a landscaped garden area.
(b) Consider and respect site topography and any surrounding important landmarks, views or
skylines, as well as the wider landscape character of the area.
The proposed conversion will not alter the skyline or built profile of the area and, due to
existing strong tree and suburban garden planting screening, does not imapact the setting of
the wider public domain.
(c) The design and density should complement its surroundings in terms of appearance, height,
scale, massing, materials, finishes and colours.
62

Page 11

Any new development (extension only in this case) will maintain existing floor levels (or be
lower) and be no bigger than the host building. There is no prominent structure that will be
viewed as incongruous with others in the local area.
The proposed conversion and extension use materials that are common in the area. The area
is also characterised by a mixture of design styles and material finishes (timber, render, metal,
tile, slate etc.) which these proposals sit comfortably within as there is no significant alteration
to the nature and character of the existing structures.
(d) Respect an existing building line where appropriate, or establish one where none exists.
Access, uses, and orientation of principal elevations should reinforce the street or open
space.
There are to be no changes the existing building lines as any extensions are both subservient
to the host structure and within the private, rear garden ground of the dwelling.
(e) All buildings, streets, and spaces (including green spaces) should create safe, accessible,
inclusive places for people, which are easily navigable, particularly on foot, bicycle and public
transport.
There is no change in the accessibility of the dwelling and the provision of a safe space for an
elderly relative to visit allows for robust social inclusion and support.
(f) Buildings and spaces should be designed with future adaptability, climate change and
resource efficiency in mind wherever possible.
The existing buildings capitalise on this opportunity and are being adapted to suit the needs of
the owner/occupier. The works will also allow for a sustainable development which not only
meets high energy standards but makes improvements on the existing dwelling, reducing net
energy consumption.
(g) Existing buildings, structures and natural features that contribute to the local townscape
should be retained and sensitively integrated into proposals.
The proposals retain existing structures and they are being sensitively developed in a manner
consistent with the residential nature of the area.
(h) Incorporate green infrastructure into new developments to promote active travel and make
connections where possible to blue and green networks.
Existing connections with public transport, cycle and walking routes are maintained.
(i) Provision of satisfactory arrangements for the storage and collection of refuse and recyclable
materials (with consideration of communal facilities for major developments).
The existing domestic refuse collection arrangements are maintained.
(j) Sustainable design and construction.
The proposals include an enhancement in the energy performance of both the existing
dwelling and the converted garage. This will be a sustainable development which utilises
existing structures, removing the need for unnecessary further built development on site. This
a wholly sustainable practice which reduces the overall embodied energy of such a
development.
63

Page 12

The application was submitted on 18th October 2021 and subsequently validated on 9th November
2021.
The PKC guidance on Ancillary & Annex Accommodation 2021 was approved by the Council's
Strategic Policy & Resources Committee on the 24th November 2021.
In the first instance, it is unclear how this guidance document can be used to assess the application
when it was adopted the date of registration. There was no communication to make the applicant
aware of this guidance or that the application was subsequently then being assessed against it.
However, the proposals do meet all the points mentioned in the guidance document.
There is a clear functional relationship with the existing house. Comment has been raised by the case
officer that a kitchen should not be included to demonstrate this functional connection. A functional
relationship goes beyond the provision of a kitchen and its, proximity, use, and nature of being an
existing structure fulfils those requirements.
Also, we have noted that in the Ancillary & Annex Accommodation guidance JUI[SKTZ) ZNK cK^KSVRGXd
proposal includes both a kitchen space and has a notably larger footprint than that of this application.
There is a clear subordination to the principal house by nature of it being the existing garage. This is
an established relationship.
The overall height is not changing and there is only a modest increase in size. This does not affect the
character and amenity of the area.
Summary
The assessment of policy against this application has been incorrectly applied and the prpopsals
represent clear conformity with both Planning Policy, Placemaking and Supplementary Guidance
documents.
The proposals are for a modest, domestic development which is sensitive in size, character and
materiality and maintains a clear domestic use of the existing buildings.
While not required to be assessed against them, the proposals are in line with the Ancillary & Annex
Accommodation guidance.
The high quality design, material palate and minimal impact of the design seeks to improve and
enhance the visual amenity of the surrounding built context and create a useable and well-designed
space to meet the current and future needs of the applicant.

W
e recomm
end that the stove be installed at least 10-15 cm
from
masonry in order to allow
heat to circulate and to facilitate the cleaning of the inside and outside of the stove. A
layer
of wallpaper on a brick wall is normally regarded as non-!am
mable material.
The !oor
If the stove is installed on a !ammable !oor, national and local regulations must be observed
with regard to the size of the non-!ammable underlying surface that must cover the !oor be-
neath the stove.
The underlying
surface must naturally be able to
bear the weight of the stove
and, if ap-
plicable, the steel chim
ney.
Distance to furniture
W
e recomm
end that the stove be installed 900 m
m
from
furniture, but consideration should
also be given to whether furniture, etc., will dry out as a result of its proximity to the stove.
The distance to !amm
able material in front of the stove is 900 mm.
A
wood-burning stove gets hot when it is !red. Caution m
ust therefore be observed, par-
ticularly with regard to children touching the stove.
1.5 The chim
ney
If local regulations perm
it, the stove may be connected to a chimney already serving anoth-
er !replace (such as an oil-burning stove or another wood-burning stove). Attention should
be paid to any requirements concerning the location of !ue pipes if two or more !replaces
are connected to the sam
e chimney.
The wood-burning stove must never be connected to a chimney to which a gas-burning stove
is already connected. An e!cient, modern stove places great demands on the chimney, so have
a chimney sweep check the condition of your chimney.
The aperture of the
chimney must comply with national and local regulations. In general,
the aperture area should m
easure at least 175 cm2 for wood-burning stoves.
An overly large chimney aperture will m
ean that too much energy will be required to
heat
the chimney su!ciently to achieve an acceptable draught. If you have a brick chimney with
a large aperture, we recomm
end that you install an insulating chimney liner of the proper
diameter. This will increase the draught, and improve the fuel economy.
There are no requirements with respect to speci!c chimney heights, but a chimney must be tall
enough to provide a good draught, and to ensure that the smoke does not cause any problems.
As a general rule, there will be a satisfactory draught if the chimney extends 4 metres above the
stove and at least 100 cm
above the spine of the roof. If the chimney is located along the side of
the house, the top of the chimney should never be lower than the spine of the roof or the high-
est point on the roof. Please note that there are often national and local regulations regulating
the location of chimneys in houses with thatched roofs. Please see section 1.9 Draught.
The chimney and the !ue pipe m
ust be !tted with cleaning doors, which must be at least
the sam
e size as the chim
ney’s aperture area.
The chim
ney must be accessible for external inspection, and it m
ust be possible to access
the cleaning doors and the chim
ney if it is to be cleaned from
the top (e.g. steel chimneys).
1.6 Connecting the !ue pipe
Lift the upper cast iron top plate o!
the stove.
Note: The included round cast iron cover plate must be m
ounted on the upper cast iron top
plate if the stove is being installed with the !ue pipe to the rear.
Mounting the !ue collar pointing upwards
From
the factory, the stove is prepared for installation with the included !ue collar (1) pointing
upwards with included ball stop and screws. The ball stop, which prevents the chimney sweep
from
damaging the stove’s ba!e plates while sweeping, is the 145 mm
long rod that is provided.
Mounting the !ue collar to the rear
If the stove is being installed with the
!ue pipe to the rear, the round plate
fixed
with
two
screws on
the back
of the stove is dism
ounted. The iron
piece on
the
inside convection back
panel is knocked
out with
light, !rm
taps with a hamm
er next to the sm
all
”bridges” holding the piece.
The cast iron cover is removed from
the back panel and m
ounted on the
top plate. The !ue collar is centred and
screwed onto
the back of the stove
with the clamps and screws provided.
The ball stop is not used when install-
ing the !ue collar to the rear.
The location of the ba!
es
The ba!es (2) and (3), which are made
from
vermiculite, are mounted at the
factory.
Make sure that the ba!es are correct-
ly assembled before lighting the stove
(please see the sketch).

1.7 Connecting to a brick chim
ney
Brick a !ue bushing securely into the wall, and insert the !ue pipe into it. The pipe m
ust not
extend into the actual chim
ney opening, but only to the inside of the chim
ney aperture. The
joints between the stove/pipe and
pipe/wall bushing m
ust be sealed
with glass tape. It is
not norm
ally necessary to seal between any pipe joints.
If the !ue pipe transitions from
horizontal to vertical, it is a good idea to install it with a gentle
bend so as to avoid any loss of draught.
The !ue pipe m
ust be dim
ensioned in accordance with national and local regulations. Morsø
recom
mends, however, that !ue pipes be made of 2 m
m
sheet steel as this will extend the
service life.
1.8
Connecting to a steel chim
ney
If your installation involves taking the chimney straight up and through the ceiling, you must com-
ply with National, Local Building Regulations or !ue manufacturers instructions concerning clear-
ances to combustible materials such as walls, !oor joists and ceilings. The joint between the stove
!ue collar and the stovepipe must also be sealed using glass !bre rope. It is important that the
insulated !ue system
is properly supported both at ceiling level and at roof level.
THE STOVE MUST NOT BEAR THE W
EIGHT OF THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM
(See chimney man-
ufacturer’s instructions). Excessive weight on the stove will inhibit expansion and could lead
to damage of the stove top. Damage caused to the stove in this way would not be covered by
the manufacturers guarantee.
If a chimney !re should occur as a result of incorrect operation of the stove or prolonged
use of wet fuel, close the vents com
pletely and contact the !re brigade.
Be aware of the following:
Cleaning procedure: Discuss this with chim
ney sweep or quali!ed installer prior
to or during the stove installation.
Chimney draft: If the chimney draft is naturally poor it is better to install the !ue from
the top of the stove so as to minim
ise any internal resistance of the !ue gases.
Avoid having any m
ore than 2 bends in the !ue system
and lim
it the length of the
o!set between bends.
Fresh air supply
A
wood-burning stove requires air for com
bustion. As a result, !ring a wood-burn-
ing stove will help create a healthy climate in your house. If the house is very tightly
sealed, and particularly if there is a cooker hood or ventilation system
in the house, it
m
ay be necessary to install an air grate in the room
in which the wood-burning stove
is installed. Otherwise there may not be enough draught in the chimney, which may
result in the stove not being able to burn properly, and sm
oke m
ay come out of the
stove when the !re door is opened.
If it is necessary to install air grates, they m
ust be positioned so that they cannot
be obstructed.
1.9 Draught
If smoke comes out of the stove when the !re door is opened, it will be due to the poor draught
in the chimney. This type of stove requires at least 12 PA
of chimney draught to achieve satis-
factory combustion and to prevent smoke from
escaping. Smoke may, however, escape in any
event if the stove door is opened during vigorous !ring, so this should be avoided.
The !ue gas tem
perature at the rated output is 281°C
relative to 20°C.
If in doubt, you may want to get your chim
ney sweep to m
easure the draught in the chim
ney.
Draught
The draught in the chimney is the result of the di!erence between the high tempera-
ture in the chimney and the cooler temperature outside. Other factors that determine
whether su!
cient negative pressure can be produced to create a draught include the
length and insulation of the chimney, and wind and weather conditions.
The draught will be reduced when:
-
The tem
perature di!erence is too
low, e.g. in connection
with
a poorly insu-
lated chim
ney.
If the chim
ney is cold, it m
ay help
to light (burn up) a rolled-up
newspaper in
the chim
ney’s cleaning door.
-
The outside tem
perature is too high, e.g. during the sum
m
er.
-
There is no wind.
-
The chim
ney is not tall enough, with the result that it sits in the lee of the roof
surface or tall trees.
These conditions are also
associated with the greatest risk of sm
oke com
ing
back down the chim
ney.
-
Air is entering the chim
ney in undesired places, e.g. through cracked joints or
leaks in the cleaning door or the !ue pipe.
-
Unsealed, unused !replaces are connected to the chim
ney.
-
The !ue pipe and chim
ney are clogged up with soot due to inadequate cleaning.
-
The house is too tightly sealed (please see the section on Fresh air supply).
A
good draught is achieved when:
-
There is a big di!erence between the tem
perature in the chim
ney and outside,
i.e. when the need for heating is greatest.
-
The weather is clear and there is a good wind.
-
The chim
ney is of the proper height, i.e. Minim
um
4
m
etres above the stove,
and clear of the spine of the roof.

Firing/using the stove
Your stove is constructed with air inlets in two places.
Pre-heated, fast-m
oving combustion air is added to the !re above the glass window, and is
regulated using the handle above the door. The combustion air is let in when the handle is
pushed to the right, and shut o! when the handle is pushed to the left.
Another air inlet provides constant, pre-heated air supply which cannot be adjusted, and which
comes into the combustion chamber just above the !re. This helps burn o! the last few
gasses
emitted by the wood while it is being heated.
The stove’s rated heat output is 5,0
kW
.
Your new
Morsø stove is EN-tested for !ring with wood, and is suitable for intermittent use.
NB!
W
ood is a material that contains a great deal of gas (approx. 75%). The gases are released
when the wood is lit and heated. For this reason, it is important that these gases are ig-
nited quickly after stoking. If the wood just lies smouldering, especially after re-stoking,
a lot of smoke is created which, in the worst case, may cause an explosive ignition of the
gases, resulting in damage to the stove.
In order to ignite the gases that are released from
the wood, and to keep clear, lasting
!ames during the combustion process, it is important to let in the required quantity of
oxygen (air supply) at all times. The setting of the air supply, the method of ignition and
the lighting intervals depend on the draught in the chimney, the wind and weather, the
amount of heat required, the fuel, etc. This means that it may take some time before
you get to know
the correct functioning of the stove under any given circumstances.
Although you can !re your Morsø stove with alm
ost all kinds of wood, you should
not !re with wet wood, or unseasoned wood. W
ood ought to be stored under a roof
for at least 1 year, and preferably 2 years, with free access to wind. W
ood should be
chopped as soon as possible after felling if it is to dry quickly. The wood can be used
once the m
oisture is less than 20%. During the test, all stoves are tested with wood
with a moisture content of (16 ± 4)%.
Never use
driftwood
as it usually has a high
salt content, which
dam
ages both
the stove and
the chim
ney. Im
pregnated
and painted wood and chipboard em
it
poisonous sm
oke and fum
es so they should not be used as fuel either
Please note that liquid fuel m
ay not be used in the stove.
Pieces of wood with a diameter exceeding 10 cm
should always be chopped. The pieces
of wood should be short enough to be able to lie !at over the layers of embers, with air
at both ends. The maximum
length of fuel in the stove is 30 cm. The maximum
quantity
of fuel is approx. 2 kg/hour (max. 2 pieces of wood each time you re-stoke).
The !rst few
times you light the stove, the !re should be moderate so that the heat-
resistant paint can harden before !ring m
ore vigorously. During the hardening phase,
the paint may develop obnoxious sm
oke and sm
ell the !rst tim
e it is lit, which is very
normal. Make sure that the room
is well ventilated during this period.
W
hen heating up or cooling down, the m
aterial is exposed to m
ajor tem
perature
di!erences that m
ay cause the stove to give o!
creaking sounds.
2.1 Lighting instructions and fuelling intervals
A lot of air is needed when lighting the stove. If you are starting with a cold stove, the door should
be left ajar for the !rst few
minutes and the combustion air supply opened to maximum.
In order to build up an insulating layer of ash in the bottom
of the stove, you should burn 1-1.5
kg of dry kindling when you light the stove the !rst time.
Always keep approx. 1 cm
ash in the bottom
of the combustion chamber.
1.
W
e recommend using the “top-down” method to light your
wood-burning stove. It is the most environmentally-friendly
method of lighting. Use two !relighters and approx. 1.5 kg of dry
kindling sticks to quickly create a glowing layer of wood. Place
the !relighters directly under the top layer of kindling sticks.
2.Open the air supply as much
as possible. This is done
using the handle above the door.
3.After the paper/solid
alcohol tablets have caught !re,
leave the !re door ajar about 5-10 cm
so that the chim
ney
draws well.
4.W
hen you can see that the chimney is hot enough to draw
(after 5-10 minutes), close the door. If all the necessary condi-
tions are met, a thick layer of embers will have been formed in
the combustion chamber after another 15-20 minutes.
75

Page 24

5.Re-stoking should normally be carried out while embers
still remain. Distribute the embers in the bottom, ensuring
that m
ost of them
are at the front of the stove.
6.Place 2 pieces of wood of approx. 0.7 kg each and ap-
prox. 25-30 cm
long over the em
bers in a single layer, with
a distance of approx. 1 cm.
7.Open the air supply to maximum
and close the door; the
fresh wood will then ignite within a couple of minutes.
8.Reduce the amount of combustion air to the desired po-
sition, and optimal combustion will continue until there are
glowing embers in the bed.
Make sure that there is always enough air (oxygen) to main-
tain clear, lasting !ames when, and after, reducing the amount
of combustion air.
During the nominal test, the stoking interval was 60-70 min-
utes.
9.A new
portion of wood can be added by repeating steps
5 &
6.Im
portant!
It is important that the fresh quantity of wood starts
to burn quickly. To ensure the fuel lights quickly, open
the combustion air to max. or leave the door ajar to
allow
in the amount of air needed to light the wood.
If, however, the wood only smoulders, there will be a
strong build-up of smoke, which at worst can cause
an explosive ignition of the !ue gases with the risk
of material damage and personal injury.
The stove door should normally be opened gently the !rst 2-3 cm, then you should wait until
the pressure has equalised before opening the door all the way. This technique will prevent
sm
oke from
getting out, particularly when there is a poor draugt.
The stove door should never be opened when the stove is being !red vigorously.
Once the wood has burned out, it becomes glowing charcoall. If a good layer of embers has
already formed on top of a su!cient layer of ash, the stove can keep warm
for a very long
time, not least due to the favourable qualities of the cast iron.
W
e would strongly recom
m
end that you do not leave your stove alit at night. It
harm
s the environm
ent and constitutes very poor use of the wood as the gases
in the wood do
not ignite at the low
tem
perature, but settle as soot (unburned
gases) in the chim
ney and stove. Extrem
e conditions, such as poor draught in the
chim
ney, large quantities of wood or wet wood, m
ay in the worst-case scenario
cause an explosive ignition.
W
hen !ring in the summer period, when there is minimal need for heat, the combustion
will be poor. The stove provides too much heat so the combustion should be reduced.
But always rem
ember to m
ake sure that there are lasting !ames until the wood be-
comes charcoal. If you want a weaker !re, stoke up using less wood.
If you !re the stove using wet wood, a lot of the fuel’s therm
al energy will be spent
forcing the water out of the wood, without releasing any heat to
the stove. This
incom
plete com
bustion results in a layer of soot being left in the stove, pipe and
chim
ney.

Routine stove m
aintenance
3.1 External m
aintenance
The cast surface of the stove is painted with heat-resistant Senotherm
paint. It is best main-
tained
by sim
ply vacuum
ing
it with a soft brush
attachment or wiping
it down
with
a dry,
dust-free cloth.
If the stove is used too vigorously, the painted surface may assum
e a greyish tinge over time,
but the stove can easily be freshened up with Morsø spray paint, which is available from
your
local retailer.
Morsø stoves are painted using a Morsø Original Black (previously called Morsø dark grey)
or Morsø grey. The paint can be bought in a spray or a can.
3.2 Internal m
aintenance
Glass window
If the stove is used correctly, very little or no soot will be deposited on the ceramic glass window.
If soot does form
on the glass as the stove is being lit, it will burn away once normal combustion
begins in the stove. If the glass window
becomes thoroughly covered in soot due to incorrect op-
eration, the soot can be easily removed using a cleaning agent such as Morsø Glass Cleaner. The
glass must be cold when you clean it. Avoid stoking the stove with pieces of wood that are so long
that they press against the glass window
when the door is closed.
Ceram
ic glass replacem
ent
Ceramic glass cannot be recycled because it has a higher melting point that ordinary glass.
If ceramic glass is m
ixed with ordinary glass, the raw
material is spoiled, and the reclaiming
process m
ay be halted. Take care that the ovenproof glass does not end up am
ong ordinary
recycled waste. That will be a great bene!t to the environm
ent.
Note: Should be handed in to a recycling station as ceram
ic glass.
Internal cast-iron parts and/or wearing parts
The ba!es and other components that come in direct contact with the !re and glowing fuel
are all wearing parts. As a result, they will be particularly susceptible to burn-through. W
hen
used correctly, these parts will last for many years, but overly vigorous use will naturally ac-
celerate the burn-through. Such parts are all easily replaced. If the ba!es are damaged and
are not replaced in time, the top plate will be exposed to such high tem
peratures that it may
be damaged as well.
Please note that no unauthorised alterations of the design m
ay be undertaken, and that
any parts that are replaced m
ust be replaced with original Morsø parts.
Reasons for sooty glass window:
- The fuel is too wet.
- The pieces of fuel are to big/uncut wood.
- The com
bustion tem
perature is too low.
Reasons for overly rapid wear of internal parts
- Stove !red too vigorously.
- Use of very dry wood (wood from
old furniture).
- Too m
uch soot on top of the ba!
es (please see the section on Cleaning).
- Too m
uch ash in the ash pan (please see the section on Ash).
Gaskets
The gaskets in the doors will wear out over tim
e and should be replaced as required in order
to prevent runaway combustion. Use the original Morsø gasket kit.
Note: Norm
al wearing parts are not covered by Morsø’s extended warranty.
A selection of maintenance products (spare parts, glass cleaner, paint, gasket kit, etc.) is avail-
able from
your Morsø dealer.
3.3 Cleaning the stove
A
layer of ash and soot will form
as a result of the draught in the chim
ney and after sweep-
ing, particularly on the top of the upper ba!
e. This ash will have an insulating e!ect, which
may speed up the burn-through of the ba!
es.
During normal cleaning, the ba!es can be rem
oved from
the stove. Once the ba!
es have
been taken out, you can access the !ue chamber above the ba!
es and clean it.
Clean the ba!es before reassembling them, and make sure that they are correctly assembled.
Nowadays, the chimney sweep must remove the soot in the stove, in addition to sweeping
the chimney and cleaning the !ue pipe. The num
ber of annual sweepings/cleanings of the
stove should be determ
ined in consultation with your chimney sweep.
Ash
As noted above, there should be a layer of approx. 1 cm
insulating ash in the bottom
of the
combustion cham
ber in order to achieve a high combustion temperature. If the layer of ash
is too thick, it can be brushed down into the ash pan.
Empty the ash pan before it gets com
pletely full so
that the ash does not insulate around
the grate, and thereby speed up the burn-through.
In m
ost cases, the ash will need to be taken away by the waste disposal company. Because
em
bers m
ay be concealed in the ash pan for several days, it m
ay be necessary to store the
ash in a container made of non-!ammable m
aterial before pouring it into a rubbish bag.
Ash from
a wood-burning stove will not be of any bene!t to your garden as fertiliser. If you
have burned colour brochures, or painted or treated wood, etc., in the stove, the resulting
ash m
ust not be poured onto soil as it may contain heavy m
etals.

Health and safety precautions
Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health
and Safety at W
ork Act are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Fire Cem
ent
Som
e types of !re cem
ent are caustic and should not be allowed to com
e into contact with
the skin. In case of contact wash imm
ediately with plenty of water.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course
of installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.
Metal Parts
W
hen installing or servicing this stove care should be taken to avoid the possibility of per-
sonal injury.
Note of references to the current UK
regulations
In all cases the installation m
ust comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority
Byelaws and other speci!cations or regulations as they a!ect the installation of the stove.
It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirem
ents may be met by adopting the
relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS
8303, BS
EN
15287-1:2007 as an
alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of perform
ance to that obtained following
the guidance given in Approved Document J.
Please note that it is a legal requirem
ent under England and W
ales Building Regulations that
the installation of the stove is either carried out under Local Authority Building Control ap-
proval or is installed by a Competent Person registered with a Governm
ent approved Com
-
petent Persons Schem
e. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a listing of their Registered
Competent Persons can be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.
This stove m
ust not be installed into a chim
ney that serves any other heating appliance.
More detailed advice about existing chim
ney usage
NOTE: A
chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from
the outlet of
the stove to the top of the chimney should be satisfactory. Alternatively the calculation proce-
dure given in EN
13384-1 may be used as the basis for deciding whether a particular chimney
design will provide su!cient draught.
The outlet from
the chim
ney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with
the provisions of Building Regulations Approved Docum
ent J.
If installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or other
faults which might allow
fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have chim
-
ney faults or the cross section may be too large i.e. m
ore than 230 m
m
x 230 m
m
. Rem
edial
action should be taken, if required, seeking expert advice, if necessary. If it is found neces-
sary to line the chim
ney then a !ue liner suitable for solid fuel m
ust be used in accordance
with Building Regulations Approved Docum
ent J.
Any existing chimney m
ust be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean imm
ediately
before installation of the stove. If the stove is !tted in place of an open !re then the chimney
should be swept one month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred
due to the di!erence in combustion between the stove and the open !re.
If there is no existing chim
ney then any new
system
m
ust be to the designation described
above and in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
A
single wall m
etal !uepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to
the chimney but is not
suitable for use as the complete chimney. The chimney and connecting !uepipe must have
a m
inimum
diameter of 150
m
m
and
its dim
ension should be not less than the size of the
outlet socket of the stove.
Any bend in the chim
ney or connecting !uepipe should not exceed 45°. 90° bends should
not be used.
Combustible material should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls of !re-
places or !ues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence of combustible
materials due account must be taken of the guidance on the separation of combustible material
given in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then a draught stabiliser should be
!tted. Fitting of a draught stabiliser will a!ect the requirement for the permanent air supply
into the room
in which the stove is !tted in accordance with Approved Document J (see also
combustion air supply).
Com
m
issioning and handover
Ensure all parts are !tted in accordance with the instructions.
On completion of the installation allow
a suitable period of tim
e for any !re cement and mor-
tar to dry out, before lighting the stove. Once the stove is under !re check all seals for sound-
ness and check that the !ue is functioning correctly and that all products of combustion are
vented safely to atmosphere via the chimney terminal.
On com
pletion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions
for the stove are left with the custom
er. Ensure to advise the custom
er on the correct use
of the appliance and warn them
to use only the recom
m
ended fuel for the stove.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from
the stove. The customer
should be warned to use a !reguard to BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539) in the presence of
children, aged and/or in!rm
persons.
W
arning note on fum
e em
ission
Properly installed, operated and maintained this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from
de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emis-
sion is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, the fol-
lowing immediate actions should be taken:
A.Open doors and windows to ventilate room
.
B.Let the !re out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from
the appliance.
C.Check for !ue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.
Do not attem
pt to relight the !re until the cause of the fum
e emission has been identi!ed
and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.

Perm
anent air vent
The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely and
e!ciently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have !tted a permanent
air supply vent into the room
in which the stove is installed to provide com
bustion air. This
air vent should not under any circumstances be shut o!
or sealed.
Chim
ney cleaning
The chim
ney should be swept at least twice a year. It is important that the !ue connection
and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.
If the stove is !tted in place of an open !re then the chim
ney will require sweeping after a
m
onth of continuous operation. This is a precaution to ensure that any “softer” deposits left
from
the open !re usage have not been loosened by the higher !ue tem
peratures gener-
ated by the closed stove.
Periods of Prolonged Non-Use
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thor-
ough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good !ow
of air through
the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully
open.
Use of !reguard
W
hen using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or in!rm
persons are present
a !reguard must be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The !reguard should
be m
anufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539).
Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove
is in use.
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.

ny påfyldning. Træet skal antænde in-
denfor 2 min. Hvis træet ikke tænder,
kan det i værste fald forårsage en eks-
plosionsagtig antændelse af røggasser-
ne med risiko for såvel materielle skader
som personskader.
• Indfyring
Ved ny indfyring: brug 2 - 3 stk. brænde
- maks. 2 - 2,5 kg.
• Sørg for rigelig luft
Dvs. klare og gule !ammer.
• Fyr aldrig over om natten
IMPORTANT!
How to heat safely for the environ-
ment and yourself!
• Use only dry wood
Use only dry (max. 20% moisture content)
and untreated wood. The fuel must be split
and 8 - 12 cm thick.
• Light
Light with dry kindling (use 1 - 2 kg). Leave
the door ajar and stay close to the stove
during the lighting phase.
• Good layer of embers
Be certain to have a good layer of em-
bers before re!lling. The wood should
light within 2 minutes. If the logs do
not ignite it may, in an extreme case,
cause the flue gases to ignite which
may pose a risk to material damage or
personal injury.
• Refuelling
When refuelling use 2 - 3 pieces of wood
- no more than 2 - 2.5 kg.
• Ensure adequate air
I.e. clear and yellow !ames.
• Never burn overnight

Consultation on an Application for Planning Permission
PKC 21/01895/FLL RE: Alterations and extension to dwellinghouse, alterations to
garage to form ancillary accommodation and associated works  5 King Duncan's
Place Birnam Dunkeld PH8 0QD   for Mr Neil Fullerton 
I refer to your letter dated 10 November 2021 in connection with the above application and
have the following comments to make. 
Environmental Health 
Recommendation 
I have no objections to the application but recommend the undernoted informative be
included on any given consent. 
Comments 
This application is for alterations and extension to a dwellinghouse and alterations to a
garage to form ancillary accommodation which will include the provision of a two
woodburning stoves. 
Air Quality 
Perth and Kinross Council have a duty to assess biomass boilers for capacity within the
range of 50kW to 20MW in terms of nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter based on their
effect on air quality in the area. This will not be necessary with the domestic sized stoves in
this case and therefore I have no adverse comments to make with regards to air quality. 
Odour 
Another matter pertaining to the stoves which could cause an issue has the potential for
smoke or odour disamenity. This Service has seen an increase in complaints with regards to
smoke and odour due to the installation of biomass appliances. This can be caused due to
poor installation and maintenance of the biomass appliances and also inadequate dispersion
of emissions due to the inappropriate location and height of a flue with regards to
surrounding buildings. 
I note from the submitted plans that the both stove flues will terminate above roof ridge
height, which will aid in dispersion of emissions. I would advise that smoke/odour could be
further minimised through the use of fuel recommended by the stove manufacturer.
109

Page 58

In light of the above, the residential amenity at neighbouring dwellinghouses should not be
adversely affected by smoke/odour. 
I would therefore have no objections to this development provided that the following
informative is attached to the consent. 
Informative 
The approved stove system shall be installed and thereafter operated and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, such that smoke odours are not
exhausted into or escape into any neighbouring dwellings. Failure to do so may result in an
investigation and possible action by Environmental Health under the Environmental
Protection Act 1990.

CAUTION: This email originated from an external organisation. Do not follow guidance, click links, or open

Application Ref: 21/01895/FLL
We refer to the above Planning Application– Alterations and extension to dwellinghouse,
alterations to garage to form ancillary accommodation and associated works, 5 Duncan’s
Place, Birnam, Dunkeld – Mr N Fullerton
Further to your original refusal of the above application, we would now like to comment on
that decision and the applicants subsequent appeal against that decision.
We would wholeheartedly agree with your original decision dated 10/12/21.
As mere local householders with no working knowledge of the planning process we would like
to take this opportunity to highlight items 2 and 3 in your reasons for refusal.
Item 2 states quite clearly
"Approval would be contrary to the Perth & Kinross Council's Placemaking Guide, March 2020
which seeks to discourage particular large, dominant, unsuitable or inappropriately designed
or located developments that are not in keeping with the exisiting build form, landscape
character or established amenity levels"
As we wrote in our original objection "In the Stell Park Estate of 39 dwellings, not one
garage has been given permission to be converted to a separate dwelling, preventing thereby,
changing the whole character of the estate". This simply backs up the council's Placemaking
Guide comments.
Item 3 in the original decision states:-
111

Page 60

2
"Approval would be contrary to Perth and Kinross Council's Ancillary Annex Accommodation
2021 supplementary guidance, which seeks to discourage proposals which have no physical
relationship to the original dwellinghouse and as such would ultimately lead to the creation of
a new residential unit".
As a professional architect himself, the proposer is surely aware of these Council Guidlines
with relation to the adjoining character of the location, yet he has provided an application
and now an appeal, which suggests he either believes the Council's Guidlines to be wrong, or
he believes his plans to be in effect "superior".
The occupants of the adjoining properties to the applicant have resided there from between
15 and 33 years, when the houses were originally built. The proposer has only recently moved
into his current dwellinghouse and to date has not spoken to a single neighbour about his
intended alterations or plans for the property.
We therefore agree with your "Justification", in that " The proposal is not in accordance
with the Development Plan and there are no material reasons which justify departing from
the Development Plan", and the appeal should be dismissed on the above mentioned grounds.
Yours, 
Steve and Phyllis Ponsonby,

CAUTION: This email originated from an external organisation. Do not follow guidance, click links, or open

In response to the further letter of representation received for this review, please see below response to the points
raised:
The objector refers to the Placemaking Guide which “seeks to discourage particular large, dominant, unsuitable or
inappropriately designed or located developments that are not in keeping with the existing built form, landscape
character or established amenity levels”.
It has been proven, within the review documents, that the proposals are consistent with the domestic nature of the
site, proportions of the existing house and design style. They are not over-dominant of the existing dwelling or
ancillary buildings and do not over-develop the site or any neighbouring properties/amenity space.
Please see attached photographs from the applicant demonstrating the wider built context. This shows a variety of
design styles and materials.
The proposals are NOT to create a separate dwelling and this is detailed not only within the scheme design but also
by the nature of the application as a Householder Application. The annexe is subservient to the principal dwelling
(by nature of its shared access, utilities and address) and remains incongruous in this context.
The physical relationship to the existing dwelling is also clear and established for both the extension and garage
conversion proposals. This is demonstrated within the appeal documents. The conversion of a garage to provide
additional living accommodation is commonplace and would not normally require planning permission. In this
instance the proposals request a modest addition to the garage (consistent with any larger size of domestic garage)
alongside other proposals, hence the inclusion as part of a planning application. It should be reiterated that this is
NOT for the creation of a new dwelling.
The PKC supplementary guidance on ancillary buildings was published AFTER this application was submitted and
registered and should not be used as a vehicle for determining the application. However, the proposals meet all the
guidance set out within this document and have a clear functional relationship to the main dwelling. There are no
requirements within this document that state there should not be a kitchen or other facility to meet this functional
requirement.
It should also be noted the applicant is not an architect. Furthermore, the applicant has spoken to some neighbours
regarding these proposals and there have been no objections in this regard. The length of time the applicant has
lived at the property is not a determining factor in the determination of the proposals.
Kind Regards,
Richard Taylor BSc BArch (Hons) ARB RIAS RIBA
