This application sought minor changes to a previously approved development at Crofton Mews, The Crofts, Castletown, Isle of Man. Specifically, it proposed alterations to the design and material of a gate, relating to the earlier planning approval reference 18/01279/B. The application was assessed against the rules governing minor changes applications, which require that the changes are genuinely minor, do not increase the number of dwellings or the net external footprint, and do not fundamentally alter the basis of the original approval. The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture approved the application on 14 August 2020, determining that the proposed gate changes met the criteria for a minor changes application.
