Dwelling At Ballacashin Farm, Lanjaghan Road, Abbeylands, Isle Of Man, IM4 5eg

The site contained a derelict two-storey building at the time of the application. The application was considered by the Committee, which refused it on 3 April 2007. The case officer, Mr A Holmes, had also recommended refusal. There is a planning history at the site involving at least three earlier applications. The available evidence does not set out the detailed reasons for refusal, so only limited information can be provided about the specific planning concerns that led to this outcome.
