This application sought minor changes to a previously approved barn conversion at Brough Jairg Barn, Main Road, Ballaugh. The proposed alterations included merging two courtyard-facing window openings into a single larger window to take advantage of an unstable wall and improve solar gain, cancelling north-facing windows that were overshadowed by Dutch barns in favour of additional roof lights, and moving a gable-end bedroom window from the upper level to the ground floor kitchen due to an existing chimney. The application was decided by a delegated Principal Planner and was approved on 4 May 2023. The officer's recommendation was also to permit the changes. The proposal related to an earlier planning permission, reference 21/00295/B, and the changes were treated as minor amendments to that consent.

The application was approved by a delegated Principal Planner. The changes sought were minor modifications to an already-permitted barn conversion, and the officer recommended approval, which matched the final decision.
