Ballamona Estate Farm House, Old Castletown Road, Port Soderick, Isle Of Man, IM4 1at
Permission was granted for alterations, extensions, and renovation of an existing dwelling at Ballamona Estate Farm House, Old Castletown Road, Port Soderick, Isle of Man. The officer's report identified three main planning considerations: the impact on public amenity, the impact on private amenity, and highway safety. The site sits within the residential curtilage of the existing dwelling and is noted as not being publicly visible. The decision was made on a delegated basis by the Senior Planning Officer and was subject to two conditions.
The application was approved by a delegated Senior Planning Officer on 29 June 2010. The key planning issues considered were the impact on public amenity, private amenity, and highway safety. The site is within the residential curtilage of an existing dwelling and is not publicly visible, which supported a favourable outcome.
The extension or alteration of existing traditionally styled properties in the countryside will normally only be approved where these respect the proportion, form and appearance of the existing property.
