TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure)(No 2) Order 2013

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to APPROVE an application by Mrs Marsha McQueen, Ref 17/00573/B, for the Alterations and extension to provide additional living accommodation at Ballaquane Farm Smeale Road Andreas Isle Of Man IM7 4JA subject to compliance with the following condition(s) and notes (if any) :

• 1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice.

Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

• 2. The protection measures and construction methods detailed in the drawing 161167/3 (Tree Protection, removal and planting) submitted in support of the application shall be adhered to in full. No tree shown as being retained shall be cut down, uprooted, or wilfully destroyed during the development phase and thereafter within 5 years from the completion date, except as may be permitted by prior approval in writing from the Department. Reason: To safeguard the appearance of the development and the surrounding area.
• 3. Prior to the occupation of the extension hereby approved, a tree-planting scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Department. The scheme shall include what species (botanical names) will be planted, what size the trees will be at date of planting, the approximate date when they are to be planted, and how they will be maintained until successfully established. It is noted the submitted drawing shows that 12 trees will be planted at a spacing of 1.5-2.0m. It is suggested that for amenity trees it would be better to have fewer larger trees at a wider spacing (minimum 4m) or the same number of trees (12) could be spread out over a larger area. All the tree-planting shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details. Any trees or plants indicated on the approved scheme which, within a period of five years from the date of planting, die, are removed or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced during the next planting season with other trees or plants of a species and size to be first approved in writing by the Department. Reason: To ensure the provision of an appropriate landscape setting to the development.

• 4. The extension hereby approved may be used only in association with the main dwelling house "Ballaquane Farm" as a single dwelling, for no commercial purposes and only in accordance with the internal layout shown on plan 2. Reason: To safeguard the residential character and amenities of the area.

This approval relates to drawings reference numbers 0, 1, 2 and 3 all received on 26th May 2017.

Date of Issue: 4th July 2017
