The application sought permission to erect a single-storey extension to the rear of a detached two-storey pitched-roof house at 33 Glebe Aalin, Ballaugh, along with the removal of existing trees on the site. The proposed extension would project approximately 4 metres from the rear of the main house and span roughly two-thirds of its width, with a pitched roof matching the existing rear extension form. The application was approved by delegated decision on 29 August 2024. The key planning considerations were the impact on the house itself, the character and streetscene of the area, and the amenities of neighbouring properties. One condition was attached to the approval.
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture approved the application on 29 August 2024. The officer assessed the proposal against its impact on the host property, the local character and streetscene, and neighbouring amenity, and found it acceptable. One planning condition was imposed.
