This application sought permission for alterations and extensions to a dwelling at Ballakaneen House, Andreas, along with a new garage block incorporating a guest flat above. The proposal represented amendments to a previously approved planning application on the same site. The case officer concluded that the amendments were acceptable and would not cause significant harm to the visual amenities of the surrounding area. A key factor in this assessment was the secluded nature of the site, which sits within its own grounds and is screened by substantial landscaping around its boundaries. Permission was granted on 15 June 2006 under delegated authority, subject to two conditions.

The application was approved by the Director of Planning and Building Control under delegated authority. The amendments were considered acceptable because they do not cause significant harm to the visual amenities of the area, helped in part by the secluded and well-landscaped setting of the property.
