Milner Mount, Bradda West Road, Port Erin, Isle Of Man, IM9 6pn
This application sought permission for landscaping works to the rear garden of Milner Mount, a detached dormer bungalow on Bradda West Road, Spaldrick, Port Erin.

The design and layout of the proposal and the impact of construction traffic were also assessed. The application was permitted on 3 February 2012 by the Development Control Manager under delegated authority, with three conditions attached to the approval.
