Ballachrink Farm, Dalby, Isle Of Man, IM5 3bn
The proposal involves replacing a hipped conservatory on the lower ground floor rear of Ballachrink Farm, a traditional two-storey Manx cottage in rural Dalby, with a new single-storey extension measuring 10m long x 6.5m wide x 3.4m tall, featuring a flat roof and predominantly glazed contemporary design.

Housing Policy 15
Requires extensions to traditionally styled countryside properties to respect proportion, form, and appearance, with exceptions only for those over 50% of existing floor space. The officer found the extension's subordinate scale, contemporary finish as contrast, and rear position acceptable without harming the original house's character.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside outside settlements from adverse development unless overriding national need and no alternative. The contained works within the site and limited visual impact on surrounding countryside were deemed not to adversely affect the area.
Environment Policy 2
Prioritises landscape character protection in AHLVs unless no harm or essential location. The extension's siting away from trees and limited public view showed no harm to AHLV character.
Environment Policy 3
Prohibits development causing unacceptable loss or damage to woodland. The positioning away from the substantial tree cluster ensured no significant adverse harm.
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.
