1.1 The application site forms part of the residential curtilage of Shellag Farm House, Bride Road, Bride, located on the eastern side of the Bride Road, and southeast of Bride Village. Within the application site ~~comprises~~ a two storey detached dwelling and a single storey detached barn. The site is accessed via a single track lane (private ownership) which runs from the Bride Road (A10) to the west of the site, in a east and north-easterly direction for approximately 1.3 miles (2200 metres). The track currently serves five residential properties (3 at Crosby Farm, Shilley Aalin and Shellag Farm House).
2.1 The application seeks approval for the erection of a detached garage (comprising amendments to PA 12/00814B). The proposed garage would have a maximum depth of 9.6 metres, a width of 6.8 metres and a maximum ridge height of 5.3 metres. The submission now replicates the garage in terms of its footprint size and height, the only difference being the introduction of two windows to the northwest elevation and enlarging the northeast window.
3.1 The site is designated as High Landscape Value or Costal Value and Scenic Significance under the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982.
3.2 Due to the site location, zoning and the type of proposal, the following policies are relevant for consideration:-
3.3 General Policy 3: "Development will not be permitted outside of those areas which are zoned for development on the appropriate Area Plan with the exception of: (a) essential housing for agricultural workers who have to live close to their place of work; (Housing Policies 7, 8, 9, and 10); (b) conversion of redundant rural buildings which are of architectural, historic, or social value and interest; (Housing Policy 11); (c) previously development land which contains a significant amount of building; where the continued use is redundant; where redevelopment would reduce the impact of the current situation on the landscape or the wider environment; and where the development proposed would result in improvements to the landscape or wider environment; (d) the replacement of existing rural dwellings; (Housing Policies 12, 13 and 14);

3.4 Environment Policy 2: "The present system of landscape classification of Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance (AHLV's) as shown on the 1982 Development Plan and subsequent Local and Area Plans will be used as a basis for development control until such time as it is superseded by a landscape classification which will introduce different categories of landscape and policies and guidance for control therein. Within these areas the protection of the character of the landscape will be the most important consideration unless it can be shown that:
4.1 There is a single previous planning application which is considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application: 4.2 Conversion of existing outbuildings to form an additional dwelling and erection of a detached double garage and workshop - 12/00814/B - APPROVED
5.1 Highways Services have no objections.
6.1 As has been identified within the history section of this report the principle of a garage of this size, height, position and design has been previously been accepted. Accordingly it is considered the only issue to consider is whether the prosed additional two windows and the enlargement of the approved window within the northeast elevation is appropriate. The additional windows and enlargement of the single window will not be apparent form any public views. Accordingly, it is considered the proposed amendments to the original approval are acceptable.
7.1 For these reasons the proposals is considered to comply with the relevant polices of the Strategic Plan and therefore recommended for an approval.
