Ballaloaghton, Kerrowkeil Road, Grenaby, Ballasalla, Isle Of Man, IM9 3bb
The application sought permission to install four rooflights on an existing farm office and store on the western side of Grenaby Road (B41), south of its junction with the B39 Corlea Road. The site forms part of around 16 hectares of land associated with but not including Kerrowkeil Farm, and sits within an area designated as 'white land' under the 1982 plan, meaning it carries no specific development designation. The key planning issue was whether the rooflights would affect the appearance or character of the building or be visible from the public highway. The officer found that the rooflights would cause no adverse impact on the building's appearance or character, and noted they are set some distance from the public highway. Permission was granted by delegation with two conditions, including a four-year commencement requirement and a condition tying the permission to the submitted drawings.
The rooflights were judged acceptable because they would not adversely affect the appearance or character of the farm office and store, and their distance from the public highway meant they would have no significant visual impact. The officer recommended approval and the decision was made under delegated authority.
Condition 1
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Condition 2
This permission relates to the installation of four rooflights as shown and described in drawings reference 543/001 and -002 both received on 2nd March, 2007.
