TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to APPROVE an application by Mrs Kerry Best, Ref 24/91272/B, for the Installation of solar panels on south facing gable end concrete block wall of dwelling and shed roof (retrospective) at 60 Broogh Wyllin Shore Road Kirk Michael Isle Of Man IM6 1HU .

Any conditions or notes which apply to the approval are set out below. This approval is subject to compliance with any conditions listed and may not be implemented until it becomes final (see guidance notes).

This approval relates to the following all date received 11/11/2024:

- o Applicant Statement
- o Location Plan
- o 2412BW-01 - existing plans
- o 2412BW-02 - proposed plans

This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) Policies and wider government strategies offer support to the incorporation and use of renewable energies. The proposed shed panels are unobjectionable, and although the side gable panels are visually recognisable and a new feature in an area where there are currently no other side gable solar panels, their installation is not considered to result in any adverse or unacceptable visual harm to the overall dwelling or to detract from the character of the surrounding residential estate area. There are to be no neighbouring amenity impacts, and no harm to views or vistas into or out of the adjacent Glen Wyllin Conservation Area. The application is considered to meet with General Policy 2, Paragraph 12.2.8, Energy Policy 4 and Environment Policies 36 and 42 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
