This application sought permission to alter and extend the annex and garages at The Old School House, Tholt Y Will, Sulby, to create two units of holiday accommodation. The building is part single storey and part two storey in character. The officer's report identified three main planning issues: compliance with planning policy, the adequacy of parking provisions, and the appearance and design of the proposed extension. The officer noted that, when viewed from the lane to the north, the significant boundary treatment along that boundary meant the two-storey extension was unlikely to cause an adverse visual impact. Despite this, the application was refused by delegated decision on 22 December 2006. The decision notice is not available in the supplied evidence, so the precise grounds for refusal cannot be confirmed.
