Officer’s Report
THE SITE 1.1 The application site is the residential curtilage of Mullinaragher House, on the southern side of Rheast Road - which links the Clannagh Road with the Mullinaragher Road. This part of Rheast Road accommodates three dwellings - Mullinaragher House being the westernmost, with Springside and Ballacorrin to the east. There are other dwellings to the north on Clannagh Road.
1.2 The site accommodates a part two-storey, part single storey dwelling, Mullinaragher House, together with a substantial landscaped garden including a pond. The upper (northern) part of the site is lawned and planted with the lower, southern area more natural and unmanaged. There is significant vegetation including trees between the property and the Clannagh and Castletown Roads.
THE PROPOSAL 2.1 The current application seeks approval to vary Condition 1 of PA21/00685/B , by extending the period of permission by 2 years. The description of PA21/00685/B is as follows; "2.1 Proposed is the erection of a hipped roof single storey side extension on the west elevation of the dwelling. The extension would project from the side of the dwelling by 6.8 metres, with a depth of 8.5 metres. Eaves height would be 2 metres, with ridge height at approximately 4.5 metres. The extension would be finished in painted render and tiles to match the main dwelling.
2.2 The application also proposed a patio and sunken outdoor seating area behind the new extension."
PLANNING HISTORY 3.1 The site has several applications upon the site, of which PA21/00685/B is the most relevant and was for "Erection of a single storey extension and rear patio," which was Permitted.
PLANNING POLICY 4.1 The site lies within an area zoned as "Not for Development" on the Area Plan for the East. The property isn't within a Conservation Area, nor a Flood Risk Zone
4.2 Given the nature of the proposal and the land designation the following are Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 policies which are relevant in the assessment;
4.3 Whilst the site is not in an area designated for development, General Policy 2 is still considered relevant in that it relates to matters around design and amenity.
REPRESENTATIONS 5.1 The following representations can be found in full online, below is a short summery;

5.2 Highway Services have considered the proposal and state, "No Highways Interest." (07.04.25)
5.3 Santon Commissioners were consulted on the 25.03.25 & 2.04.25, of which no comments have been received at the time of writing this report, 22.04.25.
ASSESSMENT 6.1 This application is to vary condition one of PA21/00685/B, which seeks to restrict the time limit for the implementation of the application. This would have the effect of adding an additional two years onto the time in which the permission was implemented.
6.2 The main issue in the assessment of this application is whether there have been any material changes, in planning terms, since the application was last approved; for example policy changes, a change in the land use designation, new or altered legislation, or site circumstances that would lead to a different decision being made.
6.3 Since the initial approval, there has been an update to the Permitted Development Order, whilst this has happened, there is no change to the policies in place for this application.
6.4 The reasoning for the time period of all applications is to ensure planning applications cannot have everlasting permissions, and either the applicant needs to commence development or seek a variation of condition to extend the period be submitted. This process to potentially extend the original period is to re-assess whether there have been any changes in local plan/planning policies.
CONCLUSION 7.1 In summary, the proposal is considered to accord with Environment Policy 1, Housing Policy 16 and General Policy 2 of the IOM Strategic Plan. No unacceptable adverse impact has been identified as likely with respect of the character and appearance of the surrounding landscape or the residential amenity of the neighbours.
RIGHT TO APPEAL AND RIGHT TO GIVE EVIDENCE 8.1 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 sets out the process for determining planning applications (including appeals). It sets out a Right to Appeal (i.e. to submit an appeal against a planning decision) and a Right to Give Evidence at Appeals (i.e. to participate in an appeal if one is submitted).
8.2 Article A10 sets out that the right to appeal is available to: o applicant (in all cases); o a Local Authority; Government Department; Manx Utilities; and Manx National Heritage that submit a relevant objection; and o any other person who has made an objection that meets specified criteria.
8.3 Article 8(2)(a) requires that in determining an application, the Department must decide who has a right to appeal, in accordance with the criteria set out in article A10.
8.4 The Order automatically affords the Right to Give Evidence to the following (no determination is required): o any appellant or potential appellant (which includes the applicant); o the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture, the Department of Infrastructure and the local authority for the area; o any other person who has submitted written representations (this can include other Government Departments and Local Authorities); and o in the case of a petition, a single representative.
