This reserved matters application sought permission to erect a barn at Allandale Farm, Ballamanaugh Road, Sulby, Isle of Man. The proposed barn would measure 24 metres in length and 12 metres in width, positioned approximately 22 metres to the north of Ballamanaugh Road. The officer's assessment focused on the barn's potential impact on the surrounding countryside, its visual appearance from the adjacent public highway, and any effect on neighbouring residential properties. A 2-3 metre high hedgerow running along the south-eastern boundary was noted as providing screening, and the nearest residential properties were approximately 59 metres away to the north-east. The application was approved by the Senior Planning Officer under delegated authority on 5 June 2008, subject to 4 conditions.

The reserved matters application was approved by the Senior Planning Officer under delegated authority.
