Name: Mr Ryden Proposal: Conversion of detached garage to granny flat with conservatory extension on front elevation (Amendment to 05/00595) at: The Cliffs Fairy Cottage Laxey Isle Of Man IM4 7BR

which was considered on 8 June 2006, subject to compliance with the conditions specified below.

Date of Issue: 15 June, 2006 Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas

Schedule Of Conditions:

1. The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.

1. This approval relates to drawing no. 05/11/2(D) date stamped the 21st February 2006.

1. The accommodation created by this approval must only be used as accommodation ancillary to that of the existing adjacent dwelling, known as The Cliffs. For the avoidance of doubt, no approval should hereby be conferred by this approval for the use of the new accommodation as a separate dwelling.

1. In order to protect the public foul sewerage that crosses the application site the line of the foul sewer must be identified before any construction commences and the sewer must be fully protected during all building operations. The agreed clearance of 2.5 metres from the development to the public sewer must be maintained during building works and at all times in the future.

1. The development must be connected to the public foul system in a manner acceptable to the Department of Transport Drainage Division.

1. There must be no discharge of surface water (including that from roofs and paved areas) from the development to any foul drainage system(s).

NOTE With regards to condition 5 the applicant/developer is advised that all drainage works will be required to conform to the requirements of the Department of Transport's "Manx Sewers for Adoption" and all necessary inspections/surveys [including CCTV] are to be carried out at the applicant's/developer's expense. A communication fee will be payable to the Department of Transport in respect of this drainage connection. It is a legal requirement under the Sewerage Act 1999 that the Department of Transport (as the Drainage Authority) be advised, of the date of the connection to the foul system.

NOTE It is noted that the foul connection from the development is to be connected into the existing private tail from The Cliffs. It must be noted that the section of domestic foul drain from the point of connection to the public foul sewer within the front garden of The Cliffs will remain private at all times with the responsibility for future maintenance falling to the owners or agents and their successors in titles.

NOTE The applicant/developer is requested to supply the Department of Transport Drainage Division with a copy of any Building Control application in relation to the surface water discharge from the development and in order to confirm that the foundations for the development will not place any additional loadings on the existing public foul sewer.

NOTE The applicant is advised that the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry have identified the presence of a protected species, the dark bush cricket, within hedges in the application site. Whilst the implementation of the proposed development does not directly require the removal of any hedges it is recommended that measures are taken to ensure that any disturbance is minimised. It is recommended that the Wildlife and Conservation Section are contacted for specific advice in this regard.

This decision was made by the Director of Planning and Building control in accordance with the authority delegated to him under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005

This permission refers only to that required under the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
