The application site is the residential curtilage of Primrose Lodge, Slieau Lewaigue, Lewaigue, Ramsey, which located on the western side of the Slieau Lewaigue and southeast of Ramsey. Within the application site consists a two storey detached dwelling and a two storey detached barn. The barn has been converted to holiday cottages and is the building subject to this application.
The application site is within an area recognised as being an area of 'woodland' not zoned for development, under the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982. The site is not within a Conservation Area; however the site is within an area zoned as High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance.
The following previous planning applications are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application: Repositioning of windows on approved conversion of barn to tourist accommodation (03/00491B) 05/00195/B - APPROVED Installation of timber replacement windows on approved conversion of barn to tourist accommodation - 04/00632/B - APPROVED Conversion of barn to tourist accommodation and creation of new access - 03/00491/B - APPROVED
The application seeks approval for alterations and erection of a porch. The proposed porch to the southern elevation would have projection of 2.2 metres, a width of 2.8 metres and a ridge height of 3.2 metres. The proposal will be constructed of Manx stone work.
The alterations consist of rendering the existing stone barn, due to provide additional weathering protection due to existing problems of dampness of the stone walls.
Maughold Commissioners:- "No objections." The Manx Electricity Authority makes no comment on the merit of the proposed development but request that an informative note be attached to any approval decision notice.
The Planning Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the application.
The application site is located within an area of "High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance" on the Isle of Man Development Plan, 1982. Within the adopted Isle of Man Strategic Plan, the following policies are considered relevant -
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:
The proposed porch would be a very modest extension to the existing barn, which has been designed to be in keeping with the existing traditionally styled building. The proposal would have no adverse visual impact upon the barn, nor would the proposal have any adverse impact upon the residential amenities of neighbouring properties.
The rendering of the existing stone barn, would make the barn more apparent, however it is considered the barn would still retain its traditional character and would be similar to many rendered properties (barns \& dwellings) within the countryside.
Overall, it is considered the proposals would be acceptable for the reasons given previously within this report and therefore comply with the relevant planning policies. Accordingly, the proposals would be appropriate in these locations and therefore the application is recommended for an approval
