Permission was sought to erect a detached double garage with storage above at Rose Hill Lodge, Richmond Hill, Braddan. The officer report identified two main concerns: the site lies within an area of high landscape value, and the proposed garage would be set more than 6 metres from the house and visible from the main road. The case officer recommended refusal on these grounds. The Planning Committee disagreed with the officer's recommendation and approved the application, subject to four conditions.
