Permission was granted for the refurbishment and extension of a detached dwelling at Greystones, Main Road, Kirk Michael. The application was an amendment to a previously approved scheme and involved relatively minor modifications: changing approximately half of the rear extension roof from natural slate to glazing, blocking up a side window in the porch, replacing the front door with a reclaimed timber door, and installing a conservation-style rooflight in the rear extension. The property is a modest detached dwelling at the end of a row of properties, recognised as a building of special historic interest and situated within a Conservation Area. The main planning considerations were whether the proposed changes would harm the character of the listed building and whether they would preserve or enhance the Conservation Area.
