1, Ballakeyl, Colby, Isle Of Man, IM9 4ay
Permission was granted for the additional use of a dwelling at 1 Ballakeyll, Colby, Isle of Man as tourist accommodation, alongside its existing residential use. The property is a semi-detached dormer bungalow situated on the corner of Ballakeyll and the Main A7 highway. The officer assessed the proposal against its potential impact on the living conditions of immediate neighbours and on local amenity. Both were considered acceptable, and the application was approved under delegated powers by the Director of Planning and Building Control. The decision was subject to one condition.
The application was approved on 22 July 2021. The key planning considerations were the impact on the living conditions of immediate neighbours and the effect on local amenity, both of which were found to be acceptable.
