Permission was granted for the erection of a replacement farmhouse at Ballalough Farm, Poortown Road, Peel. The existing farmhouse is a traditional property but suffers from damp, prompting the application for a replacement. The Planning Committee considered the siting and design of the proposed replacement at length. The replacement dwelling would have an overall footprint of 135.8 square metres. The site sits back from Poortown Road within a copse of trees, which informed the assessment of its rural setting. The committee concluded that the development was acceptable and would not have an adverse impact on the rural character of the area.

The Planning Committee approved the replacement farmhouse. The siting and design were considered at length and found acceptable, with the development judged not to harm the rural character of the area. The formal decision record lists 7 conditions.
