Decision & Reasoning

Policies Assessed (2)

Conditions (2)

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Ancillary accommodation only

   The additional residential accommodation within the replacement garage structure, hereby permitted, shall be occupied as ancillary accommodation to the main dwelling at Ben Veg, and shall not be used as a separate dwelling, nor shall it be sub-let or sold without first obtaining planning permission from DEFA Planning. Reason: The site lies within the countryside in a location where specific justification is required for a separate dwelling, which is unlikely to be approved, as this would be contrary to the provisions of Policies GEN3, ENV15, H15 and H16 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
