Permission was granted to demolish an existing single-storey chalet dwelling at Lower Glentramman Farm, Garey Road, Ramsey, and replace it with a new single-storey dwelling in a different position on the same site. The existing drive access would be retained. The site sits within the curtilage of a farm holding of around 7.8 hectares.

A watercourse runs through the site from south to north. The Planning Committee approved the application, in line with the officer's recommendation.
