4, Albion Terrace, Ramsey, Isle Of Man, IM8 2lw
Permission was granted for the erection of an attached garage to the rear of 4 Albion Terrace, Lezayre Road, Ramsey. The application was considered alongside a related listed building consent application (25/00536/CON). The property is a mid-terraced dwelling on the northern side of Lezayre Road, backing onto a rear lane. The rear of the terrace already features a mix of outbuildings, open parking areas, and small garages of varying styles, providing context for the proposed addition. The officer assessed two main issues: whether the garage would preserve the registered building and its setting, and whether it would affect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers. The application was approved with three conditions.
The application was approved on 30 July 2025. The key planning questions were whether the garage would preserve the registered building and its setting, and whether it would affect the living conditions of neighbours. The approval is subject to three conditions and does not take effect until it becomes final.
