Murtagh House, Battery Road, Peel, Isle Of Man, IM5 1ud
The proposal involves erecting a summerhouse in the curtilage of Murtagh House, an existing dwelling on Battery Road in Peel, with slight amendments to a previously approved scheme under 18/00188/B: the rear annex is 1m by 1.25m larger in area, and the front elevation patio doors are wider.

See how this application compares to similar ones — policies, conditions, and outcomes side by side.
A very similar summerhouse was already approved under 18/00188/B and found to have no adverse impact on the area or neighbours.
General Policy 2
GP2 applies to residential areas per Peel Local Plan 1998, protecting appearance of the area (GP2b) and living conditions of nearby houses (GP2c, g, k). The officer assessed the amended summerhouse against these, confirming the minor size increase and door widening would have no adverse impact on Cliff Cottage units or visibility, thus fully complying as with the prior approval.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Department of Infrastructure (DOI) Highways Division does not oppose the application subject to a condition preventing the summerhouse/games room from being used as a separate dwelling.
Key concern: summerhouse/games room would not be altered in the future to become a second dwelling which would increase the site parking demand
