Willow Mead, Ballaughton Meadows, Douglas, Isle Of Man, IM2 1jg
Planning permission was granted at Willowmead, Ballaughton Meadows, Douglas, Isle of Man, for an extension to the dwelling's decking, building on decking that had already been approved under a previous planning permission (14/01392/B). The officer considered two main planning issues: whether the proposal would harm the character and appearance of the existing dwelling, and whether it would cause unacceptable overlooking, loss of light, or an overbearing impact on neighbouring properties. The officer noted that the existing conservatory and raised decking already provided clear views into part of the garden of the neighbouring property at No. 4 Ballaughton Meadows. The application was permitted by delegated decision in August 2015, with the officer recommending approval.
The application was permitted by delegated decision on 19 August 2015. The officer recommended approval after considering the proposal's effect on the character of the dwelling and its potential impact on neighbouring properties, including overlooking and loss of light.
