16/00557/B

Conversion of an attached barn at Vaaish Mooar Farm, Peel, into additional living accommodation for the existing rural dwelling. Approved by Planning Committee subject to conditions.

22/01435/B

The proposal sought to convert, extend, and alter an existing barn at Briarfield, Grenaby Road, Ballasalla, into a new dwelling. It was refused by the Principal Planner due to the unsympathetic extension harming the traditional barn's character.

16/00557/B — Conditions

• •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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
• •Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2012 (or any Order revoking and/or re-enacting that Order with or without modification), no window or door shall be replaced or altered at any time without the prior written approval of the Department. Reason: To control future development on the site.
• •The barn conversion hereby approved shall form part of the dwellinghouse known as Vaaish Mooar Farm as shown on the approved plans: the barn conversion hereby approved shall at no time be used as a dwellinghouse independent of Vaaish Mooar Farm. Reason: To control future use of the site and prevent undesirable fragmentation of the planning unit.

22/01435/B — Refusal Reasons

• •Overall whilst the proposal would comply with a majority of Housing Policy 11, the proposal fails on a major part and does not comply with Housing Policy part (d) and sub paragraph (a), as the proposal is seeking to add an unsympathetic extension to the proposal which is inappropriate in terms of its design, mass and appearance. The proposed extension would have an adverse impact on the existing structure which is a traditional barn, especially when accounting the fact that views are likely of the proposal when traveling South to North. Ultimately the proposal falls down upon Housing Policy 11 and would also fail to comply with Environment Policy 1 of the Strategic Plan 2016.
