PLANNING OFFICER REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Application No.: Applicant: Proposal: 14/01094/B Cheeseden Investments Limited Demoiition of existing building and erection of a detached dwelling and garage Shenvalley Farm Ballnahowe Port Erin Isle Of Man IM9 6JF Site Address: Case Officer: Photo Taken ; Site Visit: Expected Decision Level: Miss S E Corlett 22.10.2014 22.10.2014 Planning Committee Officer's Report THIS APPLICATION IS REFERRED TO THE PLANNING COMMITTEE AS THE FLOOR AREA INCREASE MAY BE CONSIDERED TO EXCEED THE 50% PROVIDED FOR IN HOUSING POLICY 14. THE SITE 1.1 The site is the curtilage of an existing, presently unoccupied building situated on the eastern side of the Balnahowe Road which links Port Erin with Cregneash, together with additional rough land to the west. The property appears a vaguely traditional cottage which has been repaired and extended (rear cat-slide annex) and an older, single storey shed with large vehicular aperture at the front. It was, according to the applicant, originally a cottage which was altered to form an agricultural building for which it has been used up until most recently although the works most recently undertaken may constitute work having commenced on the later application for conversion back to a dwelling. The building sits with its ridge running roughly north to south such that only the gable is visible from the Port Erin direction. 1,2 The site defined in red is 1.1 acres of land of which the proposed residential curtilage represents 0.3 acres. Also within the red line area is an agricultural building which has a footprint of 18m by 9m and which lies to the north west of the house, 1.3 Access to the site is presently either via an existing lane leading past the agricultural building west to the Balnahowe Road, and also access is available to the south west, past a number of properties, back to the Balnahowe Road. A public footpath runs past the north and eastern edges of the site. 1.4 To the north of the agricultural building is a dwelling - Shenvailey Farm - with associated garaging and outbuildings. The applicant also owns land to the west - associated with and operated from Ballaman which lies on the western side of Balnahowe Road. THE PROPOSAL 2.1 Proposed is the extension of the existing residential curtilage from a curtilage which is virtually indistinguishable from the 1.1 acres site In which also sits the agricultural building, to an area of around 0.3 acres. The existing house is to be demolished and a garage built in its 22 October 2014 14/01094/B Page 1 of 6

place and a replacement dwelling built close by but slightly further - 2m - away to the north west. 2.2 The existing cottage is a relatively unattractive property which has a floor area of 126 square metres - the main core of the dwelling being two storey - a frontage of 9m - with the single storey annex at the rear. The stone shed alongside would add a further 30 square metres although as this is not currently part of the living accommodation, and a new garage is proposed, this should not be included in the floor area calculations. 2.3 The proposed dwelling has an overall floor area of 211 sq m - an increase of 68%. If all of the existing building were included in the calculation, on the basis that it is physically attached to the house, this increase would be nearer 35%. The frontage of the existing cottage is 9m compared with the frontage of the proposed which is 11.6m and the depth of the existing 5.5m compared with the proposed which is 6.6m. 2.4 The new cottage would be turned through 90 degrees from the existing arrangement and orientated with its roof west-east and 8.3m high, The existing cottage is 5.6m high. The dwelling will be stone faced on all sides, traditionally styled and detailed and with a small front porch on the northern elevation. 2.5 The garage is to be single storey but with a footprint of 7m by 7m and a roof pitched at 30 degrees (the house roofing is pitched at 35 degrees). The remainder of the site is to be lawned and planted. 2.6 This scheme represents a revision to a previous application which was refused, PA 11/01742/B insofar as the roof pitch is reduced, the overall height reduced, the floor area reduced and the garage reduced in area and height together with a reduction in site area. PLANNING STATUS 3.1 The site lies within an area designated on the Area Plan for the South adopted in 2013 as open space not designated for a particular purpose. The site lies outside of a draft area of ecological interest 3.2 The site also lies within a wider area of Coastal Cliffs in the Landscape Character Assessment the Cregneash Head and Meayll Peninsula where the following advice is provided: "Cregneash and Meayil Peninsula (H4) The overall strategy is to conserve the strong sense of openness of this rugged area, its expansive and dramatic views and to conserve the setting of the numerous archaeological features and Cregneash village and the surrounding traditional field pattern as well as the wartime structures on Meayll Hill. Key Views Dramatic views of rising uplands to the north and across Port St. Mary Bay to the northeast. Dramatic views across the Sound to the Calf of Man. Panoramic, open views across the Peninsula. Extensive, panoramic, open views across ever-changing sea and sky engulfing the character area on three sides." "Landscape Proposal 10; Any additional new built development on the Meayll Peninsula, other than very limited development near its northern edge at the former Marine Biological Station, should be avoided as such development would adversely affect the largely unspoilt character and appearance of the Peninsula and/or would diminish its role in providing a vegetated, undeveloped backdrop to Port Erin, Port St Mary and Cregneash." 22 October 2014 Page 2 of 6 14/01094/B

PLANNING POLICY 4.1 Housing Policy 11 allows for the conversion of existing rural buildings into dwellings subject to various criteria. 4.2 Housing Policy 12 allows for the replacement of an existing dwelling in the countryside provided the existing building has not lost its residential use by abandonment and provided the existing dwelling is not of architectural or historic interest and is capable of renovation. In assessing whether a property has lost its habitable status by abandonment, regard will be had to the structural condition of the building; the period of non-residential use, or non-use in excess of 10 years; evidence of intervening use; and the intention to abandon. 4.3 Housing Policy 14 states: "Where a replacement dwelling is permitted, it must not be substantially different to the existing in terms of siting and size, unless changes of siting or size would result in an overall environmental improvement; the new building should therefore generally be sited on the "footprint" of the existing, and should have a floor area which is not more than 50% greater than that of the original building (floor areas should be measured externally and should not include attic space or outbuildings). Generally the design of the new building should be in accordance with Policies 2-7 of the present Planning Circular 3/91 (which will be revised and issued as a Planning Policy Statement). Exceptionally, permission may be granted for buildings of innovative, modern design where this is of high quality and would not result in adverse visual impact: designs should incorporate the re-use of such stone and slate as are still in place on the site, and in generally, new fabric should be finished to match the materials of the original building, Consideration may be given to proposals which result in a larger dwelling where which involves the replacement of an existing dwelling of poor form with one of more traditional character, or where, by its design and or siting, there would be less visual impact." PLANNING HISTORY 5.1 Planning permission has been sought for the following developments: PA 11/01742/B demolition of existing building and construction of new detached dwelling with detached garage - refused for the following reason: 'The proposed development, by virtue of the position, size and height of the new dwelling and garage and the size of the new residential curtilage would result in an increased and detrimental visual impact of built development and managed garden in a prominent, open and rural area." PA 11/00901/B proposed the erection of a replacement dwelling but was withdrawn before a decision was taken. PA 05/01091/B - alterations and two storey extension - permitted. This application added windows and a canopy onto the front elevation and a rear extension, none of which were implemented but which would have increased the floor area to 173 sq m including the conversion of the adjoining stone store PA 04/00394/B - renovation and conversion of farm building to dwelling - permitted PA 98/00143/B - creation of farm track and vehicular access to a highway - permitted PA 97/01374/B - creation of farm track and vehicular access to farm buildings - refused PA 96/00521/B - alterations and extensions to agricultural building - permitted. 22 October 2014 14/01094/B Page 3 of 6

5.2 PA 96/00522/B proposed the conversion of other outbuildings on the site to residential accommodation, which was approved, implemented and is now Shenvalley Farm dweliing to the north of the application site, and still within the ownership of the applicant. REPRESENTATIONS 6.1 Department of Infrastructure Highway Services indicate in their e-mail of 6th October, 2014 that they do not oppose the application. They note that the existing public footpath which runs through the garden of the property is to remain as is, including location and width, and access is to be made available to this at all times. 6.2 Manx Utilities Authority (Electricity) indicate in their e-mail of 26th September, 2014 that there are existing electricity supplies running close to the site and that they should be contacted in respect of these. 6.3 The owner of Car-y-Touree which lies to the south of the site objects to the application as set out in their letter of 15th October, 2014 as they suggest that the development does not fall within any of the categories of development outlined in General Policy 3 of the Strategic Plan. They suggest that the current use of the building is for the storage of farm machinery which has been the case for 40 years and there is no dwelling on the site. They state that the new house is in a different position and is a different size and shape to the existing and is disproportionate to the existing. They consider that what is proposed does not differ significantly from what was refused previously and as such they suggest that the application should be refused. 6.4 Rushen Parish Commissioners note that the property is not as high as previously proposed and do not object but have concerns about this being the first of a series of applications for extensions, noting the land ownership of the applicant. ASSESSMENT 7.1 In terms of the status of the building, it would appear that it was once a residential property which was converted in the 1990s to agricultural usage. PA 96/00521/B appears to have been partly implemented in terms of the catslide rear roof, roofing of the main building, the beginning of the rendering over of part of the front elevation, changes to the windows in the front elevation. Much of what was proposed in PA 04/00394/B is similar to this although the windows in the side annex, the windows in the rear of the main building and the porch have not been implemented. What was proposed under PA 05/1091/B was significantly different to the earlier schemes and does not appear to have been implemented at all. In essence, what is lawful appears to be the work which has been undertaken to date and which could certainly be continued to be completed as shown in PA 96/00521/B. It is not clear whether the works shown in PA 05/01091/B have been commenced. The building is not currently being used for agricultural purposes: inside there were pallets, sheeting and pieces of timber. 7.2 The existing building is not of sufficient interest or quality to merit a requirement for its retention and it is arguably of poor form - there is no central front door, no three upper window format. Whilst the previous applications in 1996 and 2004 refer to the original structure being an "agricultural building" it had the appearance of a derelict cottage. The 04 application would have restored the building to closer to its original appearance, the 05 application would have enlarged and altered its appearance, both converting it to a dwelling. What is now proposed is more attractive, less visible than both what presently exists and what had approval by being further from the footpath, and is more attractive than both. Whilst the new dwelling is 18% larger than the 50% generally permitted under HP14, some of that amount is due to the application of stone cladding and the property was previously granted an extension of 37% which would have resulted in a less attractive and more conspicuous property than what is proposed. The existing property is of poor form and what 22 October 2014 Page 4 of 6 14/01094/B

==== PAGE 5 ====

is proposed is 0.6m longer and 1.1m deeper than what is illustrated and recommended in Planning Circular 3/91, 7.3 What is proposed does not fit comfortably into the Strategic Plan housing policies as it is not currently a dwelling and would not appear to have been so for quite some time. It did however have permission to be converted to a dwelling in the past, albeit prior to the introduction of the Strategic Plan. What exists on site, and may continue to exist and be used for agricultural purposes, is not attractive nor particularly compatible with other existing properties in the vicinity in terms of its orientation and finish. It is also immediately alongside the footpath. For these reasons, it is considered that the proposal complies with what Housing Policies 11, 12 and 14 are trying to achieve and is recommended for approval. PARTY STATUS 8,1 The local authority is, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No 2) Order 2013, paragraph 6 (4) (e), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status. 8.2 Department of Infrastructure Highway Services is granted interested party status under the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No 2) Order 2013 paragraph 6 (4) d. 8.3 The owner of Car-y-Touree was previously afforded interested person status in PA 11/01742/B and should be In this current case. 8.4 MEA do not raise material planning issues and as such should not be afforded interested person status. SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT The Planning Committee approved the application at its meeting with a vote of three votes for and one against. The Planning Committee wished to see an additional condition imposed upon the development, requiring that the unautorised tipped material be removed from the land alongside the proposed new dwelling and restored to tidy, open agricultural land/open space.

To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Reason: Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals. C2. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2012 (or any Order revoking and/or re-enacting that Order with or without modification) no extension, enlargement or other alteration of the dwelling(s) hereby approved, other than that expressly authorised by this approval, shall be carried out, without the prior written approval of the Department. Reason: To control development in the interests of the amenities of the surrounding area. C 3. Prior to the commencement of any works on site, the applicant must have approved by the Department a scheme for the improvement and restoration of the land to the north west and south east of the proposed dwelling, removing all unauthorised tipped material. Such works must be implemented prior to the occupation of the approved dwelling. Reason: in the interests of public amenity as viewed from the public footpath. This approval relates to drawings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 all received on 15th September, 2014. I confirm that this decision has been made by the Planning Committee in accordance with the authority afforded to it under the appropriate delegated authority. Committee Meeting Date : B.
