Thie Gless, Christeens Way, Ballakillowey, Colby, Isle Of Man, IM9 4bg
Permission was granted for alterations, an extension and porch, and the widening of the driveway and vehicular access at Thie Gless, Christeens Way, Ballakillowey, Colby on the Isle of Man. The two main planning considerations were the visual impact on the character of the village and street scene, and the potential effect on neighbouring amenities. The officer found both to be acceptable. On the question of neighbouring impact, the officer noted that the adjacent property at Nr 19b Odins Way has no windows on its northern elevation that could be overlooked, and that the shared boundary is screened by a blank gable end wall and a garage block. The application was approved subject to three conditions.
The application was permitted by delegated decision. The officer considered the proposal acceptable in terms of its visual impact on the village character and street scene, and found it would not harm the amenities of neighbouring properties, noting the absence of overlooking windows on the adjacent elevation and the screening provided by existing structures along the shared boundary.
