The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No 2) Order 2013

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure determined to APPROVE a planning application by Mr Anthony Kneen, Ref 14/00988/B, for the conversion of existing outbuilding into three dwellings, including demolition of rear annex and erection of three front elevation extensions at Upper Billown Farm Grenaby Road Ballasalla Isle Of Man IM9 3DP subject to compliance with the following condition(s):

1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice.

Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

1. This approval relates to the conversion of the existing building as shown in the submitted drawings referred to in 1 above. The approval is granted on the basis that the building is structurally capable of being converted as shown without any rebuilding of the existing fabric and no approval is granted or implied to the rebuilding of any fabric if such should become unstable or is demolished accidentally or deliberately during the implementation of the approval.

Reason: there is a general presumption against development in the countryside and this approval is only granted on the basis that it utilises an existing building, thus complying with Housing Policy 13 and General Policy 3b.

1. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2012 (or any Order revoking and/or re-enacting that Order with or without modification), no extensions to the buildings, no garages, sheds, greenhouses or other free standing buildings shall be erected within the curtilage of the dwellings hereby approved, other than that expressly authorised by this approval, without the prior written approval of the Department.

Reason: To control development in the interests of the amenities of the surrounding area.

This approval relates to drawings JTM040-P-00, JTM040-P-01, JTM040-P-02, JTM040-P-03, JTM040-P-04A and JTM040-P-05A all received on 23rd October, 2014.
