27 October 2005 · Committee
Cronk Moar, Dalby, Isle Of Man, IM5 3bw
Permission was granted for the conversion of a disused stone barn at Cronk Moar, Dalby, into tourist accommodation. The site comprises two buildings — a potato house and a main barn — both confirmed as structurally intact following a site visit. During the application, amended plans were submitted that removed windows from the upper floor and replaced them with rooflights. The officer noted there were no existing drawings available to compare proposed window openings against the original apertures. Issues identified during assessment included the acceptability of visibility at the road access and the proposal to raise the roof by 1 metre. The officer recommended approval, noting the applicant had demonstrated minimal alterations to the building.
