This application sought permission for alterations and extensions to a single-storey dwelling called The Bungalow, Fuchsia Gardens, Mount Rule, Braddan. The property sits within a curtilage accessed via a lane from the A23 and is not readily visible from either the A23 (Mount Rule Road) or the B22 road around 150 metres to the north west. The main planning question considered was whether a proposed boundary wall and fence would harm the visual amenities of the locality. The officer recommended approval, and the application was permitted by the Development Control Manager under delegated powers on 20 September 2011. Permission was granted subject to two conditions.
