Permission was granted for the renovation of an original farmhouse and the conversion of a barn and outbuildings, including extensions, to form a single dwelling with ancillary buildings at Ballairgey, Abbeylands, Onchan. The site lies to the east of the B21 in the Abbeylands area and is accessed from Abbeylands Road via a lane. It is well screened by mature trees along the boundary and by the local topography, meaning public views of the development are limited. The decision was made under delegated authority and two conditions were attached to the permission. The site has a notable planning history, with six previous applications recorded.

The application was approved by a delegated Senior Planning Officer on 27 July 2009. The proposal involved renovating an existing farmhouse and converting a barn and outbuildings into a single dwelling, which was considered acceptable at this rural site in the Abbeylands area of Onchan.
