Permission was granted to amend an earlier approval at plots 8–13 of the Ballakilley residential development, off Church Road, Port Erin and Rushen. The amendment changed the approved row of six detached dwellings to a row of seven detached dwellings. The site is part of the developing Ballakilley estate on the eastern edge of Port Erin, with most of the land falling within the parish of Rushen. The plots sit to the north west of the Southlands elderly persons' residential complex. The application was decided by committee, with the officer recommending approval. The decision was issued on 24 June 2014.
The application was permitted by committee on 24 June 2014. It amended a previously approved scheme to erect seven detached dwellings instead of the six that had been approved under the earlier permission. The officer recommended approval and the committee agreed.
