The officer assessed the site as an existing large house in its own grounds on white land, visible only from distant public views along the A5 Castletown Road.
Planning Circular 3/91 - New Dwellings in the Countryside (large dwellings standing in their own grounds)
Promotes substantial, well-designed houses standing in their own grounds. Officer assessed proposal as aligning with this, with south elevation visible from distance featuring bays, dormers and stacks in treed setting, not out of place despite white land location.

Do not oppose
No objection, trust architectural detail will harmonise with Manx countryside
Multiple consultees responded to application 07/00435/B for a replacement dwelling at Cooil Cam, St Marks Road, Ballasalla, with all either neutral, supportive with no objection, or no objection subject to conditions; no outright objections.
Key concern: Bronze Age burial site 90m north of house to avoid disturbance
Society for the Preservation of the Manx Countryside & Environment
No CommentVery much larger than what it replaces and not on the same footprint. However the design should fit nicely into the sloping site and to build where the original cottage was, just below the road (& just below the Quarry!) would be rather a retrograde step.; The Society stands neutral. (The seemingly valid A-i-P is noted)
Manx National Heritage
No ObjectionProviding the development doesn't include this area, I would be perfectly happy for it to go ahead.; If they propose any further alterations to the water feature and its surrounds, then I would have some worries
Conditions requested: note attached to ask them to liaise with you during demolition and excavation in case there's anything else of interest round about
Wildlife & Conservation Officer (Richard Selman)
No ObjectionVisited Cooil Cam last night. I found no evidence of the use of the house by bats, so this application is not affected.
Malew Parish Commissioners
No ObjectionThe Commissioners wish to notify you that they have no objection to this Planning Application, and trust that the architectural detail will harmonise with the Manx countryside.
