9 February 2007 · Delegated
The Grange, Ramsey Road, Knocksharry, Peel, Isle Of Man, IM5 2af
Permission was granted to convert two stone-built former agricultural outbuildings at Knocksharry Farm, German, into a residential dwelling, along with alterations and amendments to the access lane. The officer report noted that the buildings are located within the farm complex and are visible from the A4 Ramsey Road, though they sit within the broader farm setting. Following a site visit, the buildings were found to be structurally sound with no evidence of movement or settlement, which supported the case for conversion. The application was decided under delegated authority and approved on 9 February 2007, subject to nine conditions.
The application was approved by the Director of Planning and Building Control under delegated authority. The two stone-built former agricultural buildings at Knocksharry Farm were found to be of sound construction with no evidence of movement or settlement, supporting their suitability for conversion to a residential dwelling.
