Permission was granted for the erection of a replacement dwelling and new septic tank at Ballacunner, Smeale Road, Andreas, Isle of Man. The officer's report noted that the proposed building sits well back from the public highway and is screened by substantial trees, meaning it would be largely obscured from view. These site characteristics supported a finding that the development would have limited visual impact on the surrounding area. The application was decided by the Director of Planning and Building Control under delegated authority, with six conditions attached to the permission.
The application was approved by the Director of Planning and Building Control under delegated authority. The officer recommended approval, and the decision notice confirms permission was granted. The proposed building's position well back from the road, screened by substantial trees, meant its visual impact was considered acceptable.
