Ballakewin Old Farm, Foxdale Road, Ballasalla, Isle Of Man, IM9 3et
This application sought permission for alterations and an extension to Ballakewin Old Farmhouse, a vernacular dwelling on Foxdale Road, Ballasalla in the Parish of Malew on the Isle of Man. The officer's report noted that the property had already been subject to a number of earlier extensions and alterations, including large dormers, a modern conservatory, and a round-headed window. The proposed works included extensions at the side and rear of the dwelling. The application was permitted by delegated decision. A key factor noted in the officer's report was that the site is completely screened from public view from the main road, reducing the wider visual impact of the proposal.
The application was permitted by delegated decision on 2 November 2010. The officer recommended approval, and the portal records the outcome as permitted. The site is noted as being completely screened from public view from the main road, which would have limited the visual impact of the works.
