In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure determined to APPROVE an application by Ms Pauline Howell, Ref 14/01451/B, for the Alterations and erection of an extension and glazed link at Mines Cottage Ballakilpheric Road Colby Isle Of Man 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.

• 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2012 (or any Order revoking or re-enacting that Order) no extensions, greenhouses, walls, gates, fences, garden sheds, summerhouses, flagpoles, decking, garages, or tanks for the storage of oil for domestic heating shall be erected (other than those expressly authorised by the Planning Authority).

Reason: the site lies within an area where development is generally discouraged and there are also policies to limit the size and to control the design of development on this site.

• 3. Prior to the occupation of the property as extended by the scheme hereby approved, the applicant shall have approved by the Department a scheme for the introduction of a Manx sod hedge or other planting around the approved residential curtilage and the scheme must be implemented in accordance with the approved details at the latest in the first planting season following the occupation of the extended dwelling.

Reason: to ensure that the residential curtilage is defined and in a manner which is sympathetic to the character of the area.

NOTE The application has been considered on the basis that the means of access to the site from a public carriageway is to the west from the Scholaby Road. No approval is hereby granted for the specific access from the application property to be from the east from the Ballakilpheric Road although the applicant or subsequent owner/occupier may have rights of access over this route. No approval is hereby granted to any works to upgrade either track, although as the access is shown from the Scholaby Road, proposals may be acceptable for

the upgrading of this route, depending upon the nature of these works. Any material change to this access will require planning approval. This approval relates to drawings P02 and P03 received on 23rd December 2014 and P01A received on 24.02.15.

Date of Issue: 27th March 2015
