Land Adjacent To, Kerrowkeil, Patrick Road, St Johns, Isle Of Man, IM4 3bn
This application sought to vary two conditions attached to an earlier approval in principle (reference 12/00371/A) for the erection of a dwelling on land adjacent to Kerrowkeil, Patrick Road, St Johns. The purpose of the variation was to extend the period of that permission so it remained live. The site is a triangular piece of land that forms part of the side garden of the detached dwelling known as Kerrowkeil. It fronts Patrick Road, with its rear boundary defined by an access lane serving four nearby residential properties. During the process, the application was amended to seek variation of both relevant conditions rather than just one. The application was permitted by delegated decision on 12 September 2014, in line with the officer's recommendation.
