3, Clagh Vane, Ballasalla, Isle Of Man, IM9 2hr
Permission was granted for alterations to Andy's Chip Shop and Mini-Market at 1-3 Clagh Vane, Ballasalla. The works included replacement windows and doors and the creation of disabled access ramps at the two-storey retail building, which sits within the Claugh Vane Estate. The officer's assessment focused on three main issues: whether the alterations would harm the appearance of the development, affect the living conditions of people in nearby properties, or raise concerns about highway safety. The building has calcium silicate facing brickwork and a steeply pitched concrete tiled roof, and the existing windows are white UPVC. The application was approved under delegated authority, with three conditions attached to the permission.
The application was permitted by a delegated Principal Planner. The key planning considerations were whether the alterations would harm the appearance of the building, affect the living conditions of neighbouring residents, or create highway safety issues. The proposal was found acceptable on all these points.

Paragraph 8.12.1 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016
in Recreation Policy 3 and Appendix 6. The latter provides examples of the size and type of provision required. 8.11 Open Space and Recreation 8.12 The Isle of Man Strategic Plan Context 8.12.1 The Isle of Man Strategic Plan identifies that Open Space in towns and villages on the Island forms an integral part of the fabric of community life, taking various forms and serving many purposes. Open Space ranges from the formal, such as formally laid parks and play areas, to the informal, such as open countryside, glens and the extensive public footpath network. The need for Open Space is that it forms part of the Island's heritage as well as being an attractive and usable asset. In the wider context, it provides visual and spiritual relief from the developed urban settlements on the Island, and provides recreational enjoyment in respect of various active and some less active forms of sporting activity. Open Spaces also provide a means of improving the health and fitness of the Island's population.
