Ballalonna Farm, Dalby, Isle Of Man, IM5 3bw
This application sought permission to add a porch to a barn that had already been approved for conversion to a dwelling at Ballalonna Farm, Dalby, on the Isle of Man. The site is a group of traditional stone outbuildings and a dwelling beside Dalby Road in the parish of German. The main planning issue considered was the effect the new porch would have on the character of the original barn. The officer noted that the front face of the barn was currently uninterrupted by extensions, and that trees along the road boundary offer some visual screening. Permission was granted on 3 August 2004 under delegated powers, subject to five conditions.
Permission was granted by delegated authority on 3 August 2004. The key planning consideration was whether the proposed porch would harm the original character of the barn conversion.
