Kafue Cottage, St. Judes Road, Sulby, Isle Of Man, IM7 2es
This application sought permission to erect a replacement dwelling with a detached garage at Kafue Cottage, St. Judes Road, Sulby, in the parish of Lezayre. The proposal involved siting the new dwelling in a different position to the existing one. The application was refused, with the Planning Committee confirming the initial refusal on review. The key concerns were the excessive size of the proposed dwelling, the overly large residential curtilage, and the significant increase in scale compared to the existing property. These factors were considered to cause detrimental visual impact and to erode the traditional character of the area, leading to the confirmed refusal.
The Planning Committee refused the application and, on review, confirmed that refusal. The proposed replacement dwelling was considered too large, with an overly large residential curtilage, and the significant increase in size was judged to cause detrimental visual impact and loss of the area's traditional character.
