Field 611664 - Land Between Kings Haven And Ballaquirk Lodge, Ballaragh Road, Laxey, Isle Of Man, IM4 7ph
The application site is a plot of land sitting between existing residential properties on Ballaragh Road in Laxey. The proposal sought approval in principle for three detached split-level dwellings with associated garages, with indicative plans submitted to show how three units could be accommodated. The site is specifically designated under the Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005 (area 7), with policy L/RES/PR/6 explicitly identifying it as suitable for a maximum of three new dwellings, subject to access and drainage arrangements meeting the Department of Transport's requirements. The officer concluded that the principle of three dwellings accords directly with policy L/RES/PR/6. Specific design, access details, and drainage would be addressed at the reserved matters stage.
The site is zoned for residential use and policy L/RES/PR/6 expressly supports up to three new dwellings here, so the principle of development was considered acceptable. Detailed matters such as design, access, and drainage are reserved for a future application.
Policy L/RES/PR/6 (Area 7)
This land will be considered suitable for the development of a maximum of three new dwellings. Access and drainage arrangements must be made in accordance with the requirements of the Department of Transport.
Condition 1
This approval is in principle only and will remain valid for a period of two years within which time no development may take place until such time as details of the reserved matters (siting, design, external appearance, internal layout, means of access, landscaping) have been approved by the Planning Authority. Such reserved matters should form the subject of a single application.
Condition 2
This approval relates to the site defined by the red line as shown on drawing no. HLK/06/0322/2 date stamped the 24th July 2006.
