Mount Auldyn House, Jurby Road, Ramsey, Isle Of Man, IM8 3pf
Permission was granted for the erection of a detached garage and store at Mount Auldyn House, Jurby Road, Ramsey. The property is a generously sized Georgian-style two-storey detached house set behind a substantial roadside wall on the south side of Jurby Road, with spacious grounds extending to the Sulby River to the rear. The main planning considerations were the visual impact of the new structure on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling, and its potential effect on the surrounding area and street scene. Both were found to be acceptable. The application was decided under delegated authority and approved subject to three conditions.
The application was approved on 4 April 2017 by a Senior Planning Officer acting under delegated authority. The key planning considerations were the visual impact on the character of the existing Georgian-style dwelling and the effect on the surrounding street scene, both of which were found to be acceptable.
