Planning Application Description

{{image:724774}} Whilst this application is submission in full, it is for an updated scheme reflecting revised layouts and subsequent changes to openings. (Original application: PA 14/00246/B • approved 13 April 2014) Great Meadow Lodge is the gate house associated with the Great Meadow House and Estate on the A3 between Ballasalla and Castletown. The Lodge has been occupied until recent times but is in poor internal repair and in need of internal refurbishment + modernisation.

Vehicle access to the estate has historically been via the arched entrance that forms part of the north side of the property. The property originally consisted of only the gateway and a small enclosure for an attendant gate man and has been extended a number of times over the years to form the current building.

A planning application was approved to form a new vehicle access to all of the properties on the estate, independent of the Lodge, in order to provide safer access to the highway and to provide adequate access to the estate for larger vehicles, such as emergency vehicles.

(PA/13/00408/B • approved 03 June 2013)

This access is now in place leaving the archway redundant.

The purpose of the previous application was twofold. Firstly to remove the vehicle access from the building in order that all vehicles use the new access. Secondly, to propose an extension to the Lodge thereby improving the accommodation to better suit the requirements of a modern family and to better orientate the property away from the road and towards the fields and views to the west and the south west.

Please note that the proposed window fenestration have not been updated on these sketches. These are indicative images for massing purposes. For details of the proposed window fenestration please refer to elevation drawings P_10_B and P_11_B

The amended proposals relate to the glazing to the north-east gateway opening. 4 no. window openings to the north-west and south-west elevations and the tower door.

The floor layout has been amended to include the staircase within the main body of the building, moving it from the previously proposed location within the gateway housing. This room is now proposed to be a study/living room. As this is no longer circulation space it is no longer desirable to have full height glazing to this room, facing the roadway. It is proposed that the glazing to the south-east gateway opening is to be at high level only. Below c/ll level will be a masonry constructed wall, which will be obscured by the existing timber gates. The existing gates will be refurbished and reinstalled in the closed position, with the ability to be opened outward to allow for routine maintenance.

The opening to the existing window to the bedroom above the new extension, will be adjusted to incorporate a pointed arched head. The new window opening in the adjacent wall is to match with a pointed arched head.

The windows to north-west elevation of the extension are to be pointed arched windows, formerly french doors in the previous application (PA14/00246/B).

The doorway to the tower at roof level is to be blocked up. The infill finish is to match the surrounding masonry walls.

The building has a strong castellated form and, like the main house, is built of local limestone. The proposal is to extend the existing building to the rear in materials and form to match the existing building.

Additional accommodation is to be formed in the now-redundant archway. This is to be infilled with timber-framed glazing to form a small study and a new staircase. The fence and low rendered stone wall to the front of the property is to be extended across the existing vehicle access to the main road to ensure that vehicle drivers to not mistakenly attempt to gain access to the estate.

The extension to the rear will provide a new entrance, living area and a small utility room. The ground floor is reordered to provide a new kitchen, w/ shower and central dining hall. The upstairs rooms are to be reordered to better accommodate 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom.

It is proposed that the chimney stack on the south west elevation is to be removed, along with the flue and chimney pot currently in the castellated parapet wall of the rear north east facing elevation. The chimney stack will be replaced with a section of castellated stonework to match the existing battlements.

New windows, to match the style and material of the existing windows to the main house, are to be provided to the rear upstairs bedroom and to the new w/ shower on the ground floor. The windows in the new extension are also to match the existing windows to the main house in style and materials.
