Workshop, Minerva House, Lane From Tynwald Mills Road, Tynwald Mills, St Johns, Isle Of Man, IM4 3af
Permission was granted to alter and extend a redundant stone barn at Ballig Barn, Tynwald Mills, St Johns, to create a dwelling. The application was decided by the Planning Committee on 23 August 2007. The site is a disused stone barn to the east of the Tynwald Craft Centre, accessed via a road from the A3 to Tynwald Mill. The barn was noted as structurally sound with plumb walls, though it had no roof at the time. An attached single-storey stone workshop with a pitched roof was in active use. The officer recommended approval and the Committee agreed, granting permission subject to eight conditions.
