Permission was granted for the erection of a porch and a garage extension at Mullen Beg, Patrick Road, Patrick Village on the Isle of Man. The site is a detached dwelling with an existing two-vehicle garage, accessed via a long tree-lined driveway from the A30 road and not readily visible from public vantage points. During the application process, concerns were raised about the design and scale of the proposed alterations. As a result, the scheme was amended: the front projection was reduced from 6 metres to 3 metres, dormer windows were removed, the link between the extension and the existing garage was redesigned with a hipped roof, the steps were relocated, and the external finish was changed from Manx stone to smooth render. The amended proposal was considered acceptable and was approved under delegated authority on 19 October 2009, subject to five conditions.

The application was approved on 19 October 2009 by a Senior Planning Officer under delegated authority. The proposal was found acceptable in terms of design and scale. The scheme had been amended during the process to address earlier concerns, reducing the front projection, removing dormer windows, redesigning the garage link roof, relocating steps, and changing the external finish from Manx stone to smooth render.
