8, Glen Road Terrace, Laxey, Isle Of Man, IM4 7ad
This retrospective application sought permission for fencing erected to the front garden of 8 Glen Road Terrace, Laxey. Because the fencing was already in place, the application was submitted after the work had been carried out. The officer's main consideration was the effect of the fencing on neighbouring properties. The officer noted that similar fencing exists at the adjacent property, number 9 Glen Road Terrace, which supported the view that the proposal was acceptable in its context. The application was approved on 1 March 2011 by a delegated Senior Planning Officer, subject to one condition.
