The officer took a pragmatic view on the nature of the building, confirming Keeil Voirrey remains associated with Mylvoirrey per prior condition PA 04/00623/B, occupied by relatives with shared servic…
Housing Policy 16
Housing Policy 16 states that the extension of non-traditional dwellings or those of poor or inappropriate form will not generally be permitted where this would increase the impact of the building as viewed by the public. The officer assessed the rear two-storey extension to the single-storey building, noting it matches the main dwelling's ridge height due to land stepping down, is of appropriate scale and mass, finished to match existing materials, and has limited public views, thus not increasing visual impact.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design/landscaping (b), does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character (c), protects local residents' amenity and locality character (g), provides safe access/parking (h), and avoids unacceptable road safety/traffic effects (i). The officer confirmed compliance through appropriate rear extension design, no amenity harm due to screening/isolation, shared access acceptability, and landscape respect in the rural, open High Landscape Value area.
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.
Visibility splay
Nothing exceeding 1.05m in height must be planted, erected or allowed to remain within the driveway as shown on plan SM14/355/1. Reason: In the interest of highway safety.
Use in association
The accommodation unit currently known as 'Keeil Voirrey' shall be used in association with 'Mylvoirrey' and must not be sold or let off separately therefrom. Reason: Assessment of the proposal has taken account of the fact that the two elements of living accommodation within the building have a functional relationship to one another. Any use of one independently from the other would comprise development and would therefore require separate consideration under a fresh planning application.
Recommended a condition for visibility splays: nothing exceeding 1.05m in height on the driveway.
No objection to the proposal.
Highways Division do not oppose subject to a condition on visibility over the new driveway; Ballaugh Parish Commissioners raised no objections to both original and amended plans.
