Allandale Farm, Ballamanagh Road, Sulby, Isle Of Man, IM7 2hb
The proposal was an amendment to an earlier approved two-storey extension at Allandale Farm, Ballamanagh Road, Sulby. The only change from the previously approved scheme was the addition of two windows on the southwest gable elevation — one at ground floor and one at first floor. The site sits on the northern side of Ballamanagh Road, south of Sulby Village, within an area designated as open space (including agriculture) under the Sulby Local Plan Order 1998 and within an area of high landscape value under the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982. The officer assessed the change as very minor. No adverse impact on the appearance of the property or on the residential amenity of nearby properties was identified, and the proposal was found to comply with General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007. The application was determined by delegated authority and permitted on 10 July 2009.
The amendment was approved because it represented a very minor change to an already-approved extension, with the two additional gable windows having no adverse effect on the property's appearance or on the amenity of neighbouring residents. The proposal was found to comply with the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
