Ballakaneen Chapel, Andreas Road, Andreas, Isle Of Man, IM7 4en
The proposal at Ballakaneen Chapel on Andreas Road involved replacing an existing timber portico with a glazed porch on the front (3m projection, 3m width, 3.6m ridge height, dwarf wall with uPVC framing and glazing, solid roof) and creating a balcony on the rear elevation of the rear outrigger.

The officer assessed impacts on visual amenities of the street scene and neighbouring amenity. The works on the rear elevation would not be prominent, with only fleeting public views from Andreas Road…
General Policy 2
Requires development in residential zoning to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design, not adversely affect character, amenity, habitats, road safety, etc. Officer tested rear porch/balcony against criteria (b),(c),(g),(i); found compliant due to modest rear scale, minimal street scene impact, mitigated overlooking via obscure glazing and separation, no overbearing/loss of light.
Environment Policy 34
Prefers traditional materials for pre-1920 building alterations. Noted but not decisive issue; uPVC/glazing porch not fully traditional but accepted on balance due to rear location/modest size retaining chapel character.
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.
