#### 4. Proposals:

The proposals submitted have not changed from those discussed with the Planning Oﬃcer, Chris Balmer, on Thursday 24th Jury 2025.

The submitted Survey Drawings numbered 25 1880/02 to 05 show the Floor Plans, Elevations, Sections and 3D Models of the existing Old Mill Building.

![This image displays a planning document page featuring a site location map with a thick boundary line at the top and a detailed site plan with contours and building footprints below.](https://images.planningportal.im/2025/08/7098700.jpg)

![An inverted black and white image showing a site location plan with property boundaries and a building labeled 'Rack Farm'.](https://images.planningportal.im/2025/08/7098701.png)

The submitted proposed drawings numbered 25 1880/06 to 13 & 19 show the proposed Floor Plans, Roof Plan, Elevations, Sections and 3D Models of the proposed converted, altered and extended Old Mill Building to create a new dwelling.

The proposals show the ground ﬂoor level of the existing Old Mill Building converted into a Garage, Plant Room and Media/Cinema Room, utilising all existing openings/apertures.

A new door would be located in the South-West gable end of the building to provide direct external access into the Garage.

Another external door would be located in the North-West elevation of the building to provide direct external access out to the existing lean-to outlet which would be converted into a semi-open Car Port. A new metal external staircase would be installed to provide access up to a new ﬂat roof Balcony area.

The upper ﬁrst ﬂoor level of the existing Mill Building would be converted into open plan living space, comprising of Living, Dining, Breakfast and Kitchen zones. Again all existing openings/ aperture would be utilised with a set of new double doors formed in the North-West elevation, providing direct access out onto the new ﬂat roof Balcony Area.

A series of new conservation style roof lights would be installed in the existing North-West roof slope to provide additional natural sun light down into the open plan living space.

The proposed extensions would comprise of a single storey outlet, built to follow the site topography and stepping up the site in height, to follow the existing site contours/levels.

The extensions would provide a central Entrance Hallway with Utility Room and W.C. The Entrance Hallway would lead out onto a Covered Rear Patio Area which would be linked with the proposed Rear Balcony.

The Entrance Hallway would lead into the open plan living space created in the upper ﬂoor level of the existing Old Mill Building.

A new rear Hallway would lead past a Snug and large Family Bathroom and into the Bedroom wing outlet of the proposed extensions.

The Bedroom wing outlet would be built exactly on the footprint of the previous large steel portal frame Dutch Barn. See submitted drawing number 25 18880/15, for further details. This wing would provide four Bedrooms in total. A Master and Guest Bedroom 2 suite with Bedrooms 3 and

- 4 utilising the Family Bathroom facilities.

A Covered Front Patio Area would be provided oﬀ the Master Bedroom with large bi-folding/sliding door units leading out to the external Patio Area.

The external ﬁnishes would comprise of traditional natural materials, that will weather and bed down within the site over time. These materials would be used in a contemporary form. See submitted Finishes Schedule, drawing number 25 1880/25, for further details.

- 5. PREVIOUS APPROVALS:

The proposals submitted utilise Housing Policy 11 of The Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016, which states;

8.10 Conversion of Rural Buildings to Dwellings

- 8.10.1 Throughout the countryside, there are examples of buildings which are no longer suitable or needed for their originally intended use, but which are of sufficient quality or interest to warrant retention and re-use.
- 8.10.2 Conversion of such buildings into dwellings can make a useful contribution to the housing stock, ensure retention of our built heritage, and improve the appearance of what might otherwise become derelict fabric. The following policy is therefore appropriate:

Housing Policy 11: Conversion of existing rural buildings into dwellings may be permitted, but

only where:

- (a) redundancy for the original use can be established;
- (b) the building is substantially intact and structurally capable of renovation;
- (c) the building is of architectural, historic, or social interest;
- (d) the building is large enough to form a satisfactory dwelling, either as it stands or with modest, subordinate extension which does not affect adversely the character or interest of the building;
- (e) residential use would not be incompatible with adjoining established uses or, where appropriate, land-use zonings on the area plan; and
- (f) the building is or can be provided with satisfactory services without unreasonable public expenditure.

Such conversion must:

- (a)where practicable and desirable, re-establish the original appearance of the building; and
- (b) use the same materials as those in the existing building.

Permission will not be given for the rebuilding of ruins or the erection of replacement buildings of similar, or even identical, form.

Further extension of converted rural buildings will not usually be permitted, since this would lead to loss or reduction of the original interest and character.

Some recent examples of previous approvals that have utilised the same Planning Policy are:

- • P.A. No- 23/00711/B- Approved- 20/10/23.

![A photograph showing the exterior of a white building with a paved driveway and a grassy area, set against a rural backdrop with green hills.](https://images.planningportal.im/2025/08/7098710.jpg)

The existing vehicle access oﬀ the main A1 Peel Road will be used to gain access to the proposed site. This is the main vehicle access to Rock Farm and visibility aﬀorded to this access is very good in both directions.

Once up at Rock Fram access to the proposed dwelling will be via the existing drive access located to the North-West of the main Farm House, which then leads to the lower ground ﬂoor level of the existing Old Mill Building and and existing rear lean-to outlet.

![A photograph showing the exterior of a stone building with scaffolding, surrounded by overgrown vegetation and trees in a rural setting.](https://images.planningportal.im/2025/08/7098713.jpg)

#### 7. Services:

Both mains electricity and water are installed at the Old Mill Building.

The foul water drainage from the proposals would be provided by the installation of a “Klargester Bio-Disc” sewage treatment plant, see submitted Drainage Drawing number 25 1880/19 for further details, which will discharge to either on-site French drains or soakaway drainage system or alternatively a license obtained to discharge into the existing stream.

The surface water drainage system from the proposals would be provided by either the installation of on-site soakaways or alternatively connected direct to the existing Stream.

#### 8. Trees/Landscaping:

All existing mature trees are to remain in place to maintain a natural landscaped setting for the proposed dwelling. The Landscape Drawing number 25 1880/18 indicates all proposed landscape details, which includes lawned areas with wild/natural ornamental planting, the upgrading of the existing driveway to provide access down to the lower Garage and Car Port areas located in the existing Old Mill Building and the creation of front and rear Patio Areas.

#### 9. Bats & Birds:

Mitigation for bats and birds have been incorporated within the design of the dwelling, see Bat & Bird Details drawing number 25 1880/18 for further details. The proposals allow for the installation of 2No Bat Boxes. One located at the top of the South-West gable wall of the existing Old Mill Building and one located at the top of the South-East gable wall of the Bedroom extensions.

4No Bird Boxes are proposed with two erected in the existing trees located to the south of the existing Old Mill Building and two more located in the trees to the North-East.

#### 10. Sustainabilty:

The proposed dwelling would be designed having due regard to sustainability and reducing energy consumption. The three key issues of the proposed design would be high insulation levels, incorporating high quality double/triple glazed window/door units, complete airtightness of the proposed dwelling and a fully ﬁtted internal Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery system, (MVHR). A minimum SAP Rating of 93 will be required to be met by the proposals.

Heating the proposed dwelling would be either Air Source Heat Pump , (ASHP), or Ground Source Heat Pump, (GSHP). We have shown a typical location for the proposed ASHP on the proposed Ground Floor Plan. The proposed GSHP could be located in the garden area to the South-West of the proposed extensions and would be subject to a separate planing application

The ASHP or GSHP could be interconnected with PV solar panels, these could take the form of roof mounted units installed on the south facing roof slope of the existing Old Mill Building and/or the South-West roof slopes of the proposed Bedroom extension. Alternatively South facing ground mounted units could be located in the ﬁeld to the North-East of the proposed dwelling. Once again this would require a separate planning application.
