This application sought permission to erect a replacement porch and utility extension at Cronk Urleigh Lodge, a detached dwelling on the western side of Douglas Road in Kirk Michael. The proposal was assessed as modest in scale, broadly matching the footprint of the extension it was replacing. Officers noted that the new design was arguably better suited to the appearance of the original house than the structure being removed. The application was permitted on 14 December 2011 under delegated authority, with two conditions attached. No concerns were raised regarding amenity impacts on neighbouring properties or the wider public.

Permission was granted on 14 December 2011 by the Development Control Manager under delegated authority. The replacement porch and utility extension was considered acceptable because it is of similar scale to the structure it replaces, sits more comfortably with the character of the original dwelling, and raises no concerns for public or private amenity.
