John And Fiona Anderson Knockaloe Beg Farm Patrick IM5 3AQ

TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to APPROVE an application by John And Fiona Anderson, Ref 25/90271/B, for the Erection of single-storey extension at The Lost House Knockaloe Beg Farm Knockaloe Beg Lane Patrick Isle Of Man IM5 3AQ .

Any conditions or notes which apply to the approval are set out below. This approval is subject to compliance with any conditions listed and may not be implemented until it becomes final (see guidance notes).

• 1. 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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

• 2. No above ground floor development shall commence until a schedule of materials and finishes and samples of the materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces, including roofs, have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Department. The development shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the approved details and retained as such thereafter.

Reason: To ensure that the development is carried out to the highest standards of materials, in the interests of the appearance of the development and the visual amenities of the area.

This decision relates to the following drawings and documents:

• o DWG. LH3 - Parapet Section (dated 21 July 2025)
• o DWG. LH2 - Gutter Details (dated 12 March 2025)
• o DWG. LH1 Rev B - Proposed Elevations, Section and Roof Plan (dated 21 July 2025)
• o DWG. WL/08/1082/2C - Existing Plans and Elevations (dated 26 March 2025)
• o Existing and Proposed Site Plan (dated 26 March 2025)
• o Location Plan (dated 26 March 2025)
• o Roof Light Information (dated 26 March 2025) This decision has been made for the following reasons(s)

The proposed development complies with Housing Policy 15, which supports extensions that respect the proportion, form, and appearance of traditionally styled countryside dwellings. While the flat roof departs from traditional roof forms, the extension's scale, rendered finish, and fenestration ensure a coherent and subordinate relationship with the host building. The scheme also aligns with Environment Policy 2, integrating into the rural landscape without detriment to its character or quality. No adverse impacts are identified in relation to highway safety, neighbouring amenity, or parking, in accordance with General Policy 2. The design approach is broadly consistent with the principles set out in Planning Circular 3/91, and the proposal is therefore considered acceptable on policy grounds.

Date of Issue: 31st July 2025
