Permission was granted for the erection of a replacement dwelling at Thie Ny Strooan, Hillberry Green, Douglas, Isle of Man. The site is large and enclosed on all sides by mature tree planting, and the previous substantial dwelling had already been demolished under a separate consent before this application was determined. The main planning consideration was the impact of the proposed development on the surrounding area and on adjacent properties. A watercourse runs to the north west of the site, close to where the new house is to be built. The Department of Infrastructure, acting under delegated powers, approved the application with two conditions attached.

The Department of Infrastructure approved the application on 25 October 2012. The key planning consideration was the impact of the proposed development on the surrounding area and adjacent properties, which was found to be acceptable.
