Permission was granted for the erection of a boiler house extension on the rear elevation of a tourist unit at Ballalheaney, Andreas Road, on the Isle of Man. The site forms part of a tourist complex set in open countryside, around 145 metres from the public highway with intervening landscaping of trees and shrubs. The officer report noted that a 27-metre gap between two existing buildings on the site allows views across the open countryside, and that the proposed extension would be visible from that countryside. However, officers concluded that the extension was relatively small in scale and would not cause significant harm to the openness or character of the area, nor to the visual amenities of the locality or street scene. The application was decided under delegated authority and permitted on 7 July 2005.
