Permission was granted for the erection of a dwelling at Plot 3, Field 614664, Ballaragh Road, Laxey. The proposal was an amendment to a dwelling already approved under an earlier planning application, essentially presenting a handed (mirrored) version of that previously consented design. The site slopes noticeably, which affects how the building is perceived. From Ballaragh Road the dwelling appears as a single-storey structure, while from further away to the south it reads as two-storey. The officer considered these visual characteristics as part of the assessment. The decision was made on a delegated basis and permission was granted subject to three conditions.

The application was approved by a delegated Senior Planning Officer on 31 January 2011. The proposal was essentially a handed version of a dwelling already approved under a previous planning application, making it an amendment rather than a new scheme. The sloping site means the dwelling reads as single-storey from Ballaragh Road but as two-storey from more distant views to the south, a characteristic the officer took into account.
