Thie Ooylagh, Strang Road, Union Mills, Isle Of Man, IM4 4nw
The proposal involved alterations to and extension of a detached dwelling at Thie Ooylagh on the northern side of Strang Road in Union Mills, a predominantly residential area under the Braddan Parish District Local Plan. The main planning issues were the visual impact on the street scene and the effect on the amenity of neighbouring properties, particularly the directly adjoining property Sedbergh. Neighbours at both Sedbergh and Anglers Walk (opposite the site) objected, raising concerns about boundary proximity, visual impact, privacy, drainage, and construction effects. The officer concluded that the extension's form was acceptable: its roof slopes downwards towards the shared boundary, limiting its effect on the neighbouring property's amenity.
The extension was permitted because its design — specifically the roof sloping down towards the boundary — was judged to have a suitably limited effect on the amenity of the neighbouring property. Visual impact on the street scene was also assessed and found acceptable. The application was approved under delegated authority with three conditions.
