16 April 2008 · Committee
Milntown Mansion, Glen Auldyn, Ramsey, Isle Of Man, IM7 2ab
Permission was granted to alter and extend the existing house at Milntown, Glen Auldyn, Lezayre, to create a restaurant, shop, and public access areas, along with associated parking. The works also included the demolition of an existing lean-to conservatory. The site is a detached property at the northern end of Glen Auldyn, bounded by Lezayre Road to the north and Glen Auldyn Road to the east. The Planning Committee considered the suitability of the proposed building alterations and extensions, as well as the parking and access arrangements, before granting approval. Four conditions were attached to the permission. The application was linked to a related listed building consent application (07/02156/CON).
The Planning Committee approved the application. The key planning considerations were whether the proposed alterations and extensions to the building were suitable, and whether the parking provision and access arrangements were adequate. Both were found acceptable.
