10 August 2000 · Delegated
Land Adjacent To Ginger Hall Ballamanagh Road Sulby Ramsey
The application sought permission to erect two detached bungalows on land adjacent to Ginger Hall, Ballamanagh Road, Sulby, Ramsey, in the parish of Lezayre. Following the original grant of permission, the developer required additional time to mobilise contractors and begin work on site, leading to two extensions of time being granted — first for 24 months and then for a further 12 months. The officer considered the extension requests acceptable on the basis that planning policy for the site had not changed since the previous extension, meaning the original permission remained consistent with current policy. A one-year extension was judged appropriate to give the developer a realistic opportunity to commence development.
The extension of time was approved because planning policy for the site had not changed since the previous extension, so the original permission remained valid in policy terms. The officer was satisfied that a further 12-month period was a reasonable and proportionate allowance for the developer to get contractors on site and start work.
