The Glaicke, Glen Road, Ballaugh, Isle Of Man, IM7 5jg
The proposal involved converting and extending an existing barn into a single dwelling, alongside converting and extending an outbuilding to provide ancillary accommodation for an elderly person and staff. The barn was noted by the officer as architecturally attractive and making a positive contribution to the character of the surrounding countryside, but was effectively redundant in its existing use. The officer assessed the impact on the neighbouring property and found that the main barn and associated works would not unacceptably affect the neighbour's enjoyment of their dwelling. On balance, the officer judged the scheme acceptable, and the Planning Committee agreed, granting permission subject to nine conditions.
The scheme was considered acceptable because the barn was redundant, architecturally attractive, and its conversion would not harm the character of the countryside. The Planning Committee permitted the application in line with the officer's recommendation.
