Former Barn To The Rear Of, The Auburns, 19, Lezayre Road, Ramsey, Isle Of Man, IM8 2lp
This application sought permission to alter and convert a detached barn, located to the rear of The Auburns at 19 Lezayre Road, Ramsey, into a dwelling. The barn is a single and two-storey structure situated to the south of the adjacent property, The Auburn. The officer report identified three main planning issues: the principle of converting the barn to residential use, the residential amenity of the proposed dwelling, and the potential impact on neighbouring properties. A relevant site observation noted that the majority of the barn's existing windows face the western elevation and are not directed towards The Auburn. The application was permitted by the committee on 1 October 2007, in line with the officer's recommendation.
