The proposed extensions, by reason of their size and design, would significantly detract from the character and appearance of the buildings as highlighted in the Inspector's Report in respect of PA01/…
No adverse traffic impacts following amended plan showing turning and parking area
Arbory Parish Commissioners and Manx Countryside object to the scale and design of the development in a high landscape value area; DoT Highways raises no adverse traffic impacts after amendments; Fire and Rescue recommends smoke detection installation.
Key concern: excessive size and incongruous design in area of high landscape value
Arbory Parish Commissioners
ObjectionIt is felt that this proposed development, in terms of size and some aspects of the design, exceeds the spirit of the original concept, the renovation of a small derelict cottage and an old barn in a remote upland area of very high landscape value.; It is particularly felt that some aspects of the design of the link building are out of keeping with the fairly traditional Manx country dwelling appearance of the rest of the front of the development and are incongruous and inappropriate for the site.
