Land Adjacent To, Allandale Farm, Ballamanagh Road, Sulby, Isle Of Man, IM7 2hb
This reserved matters application sought approval of the detailed design, siting, and layout for a detached dwelling on a site in Sulby, where outline permission had already been granted. The site sits on the northern side of Ballamanagh Road, within an area designated as open space and also within a High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance area under the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982. The revised proposal reduced the width from 23 metres to 20.8 metres, the depth from 21 metres to 19 metres, and the ridge height from 8 metres to 6.2 metres. Officers considered the revised design and massing acceptable, finding the style in keeping with neighbouring properties in Carrick Park and Ballamanagh Close, and the siting within the site reasonable given the substantial garden and paddock setting. Highway conditions were attached requiring two off-street parking spaces, a turning facility, and visibility splays.
The siting within the site was considered reasonable, with the dwelling set within substantial grounds. Highway requirements were addressed through conditions covering parking, turning, and visibility splays.
