1.0 SITE - 1.1 The application site represents the residential curtilage of Clypse Lodge, Clypse, Onchan. The site is an 'L-shaped' piece of land which lies to the west of the Clypse Reservoir and is accessed via the Ballacottier Road and the narrow roadway leading to the reservoirs themselves. - 1.2 The site is flat in nature within a woodland setting, with mature hedgerows and trees running along the south-eastern boundary of the site which is directly adjacent to the highway. - 1.3 The existing dwelling is rather unusual in appearance and certainly could not be described as traditional Manx vernacular. The property appears to have been constructed in the 1960's, with approximately half of the dwelling comprising of a steeply pitched roofed design with flat dormer accommodation, whilst the other half is a single storey flat roofed property. The finish of the dwelling is timber cladding to all external elevations, whilst the pitched roof is finished in orange/red concrete titles.

3.0 PLANNING POLICY Local Area Plan - Onchan Local Plan 2000 Site Designation - 'Open Space' The following policies are particularly relevant to this proposal:Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016

5.1 A letter was received by the department with a Deed of Appointment relating to Clypse Farms Limited; the letter requested that no actions or steps be taken that might reduce the value of the land and property that 'Receivers' are appointed over and/or impair the purpose of the 'Receivers' appointment without written consent. - 6.0 ASSESSMENT
6.1 The application is to vary a condition that seeks to restrict the time limit for the implementation of the application. This would have the effect of adding an additional four years to the time in which the permission should be implemented.
6.2 The main issue in the assessment of this application is whether there have been any material changes, in planning terms, since the application was last approved; for example policy changes, a change to the land use designation, new or altered legislation, or site circumstances that would lead to a different decision being made. - 6.3 Since the initial approval there have been no material planning changes which have arisen. The Onchan Local Plan and the Isle of Man Strategic Plan policies have not been superseded and therefore continue to comprise the Development Plan. There have not been any relevant appeal decisions that indicate a different approach to those policies should be taken and no new legislation has been brought into force. - 6.4 It is considered that the design and access elements would remain acceptable for the reasons outlined in depth in the planning report for 14/01156/REM, and for this reason an extension to the permission is acceptable. Other Matters - 6.5 The letter received by the department was from Clypse Farms Limited at Heritage Court, 41 Athol Street; however the applicant is listed as The Clypse Estate Ltd, at a different address, 22 Athol Street, Douglas.
