Fairhaven, 45, Station Road, Port Erin, Isle Of Man, IM9 6ar
Permission was granted for works at Fairhaven, 45 Station Road, Port Erin, including a main extension, a porch extension, door and window alterations, and the installation of a roof lantern. The property is a single-storey detached dwelling on the north side of Station Road, close to its junction with Droghadfayle Road. It sits among seven detached houses on a service road, most of which have an attached single garage. The planning assessment focused on whether the proposed works were appropriate in terms of the building's own character, the wider streetscene, and the impact on neighbouring properties. The application was permitted by the Committee on 12 April 2024.
The application was approved by the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture. The key planning considerations were the impact on the character of the building, the streetscene of the surrounding area, and the amenities of neighbouring properties, all of which were found to be acceptable. The formal decision record lists 1 condition.
