## Town and Country Planning Act 1999

### The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No 2) Order 2013

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure determined to **APPROVE** a planning application by Ms Pauline Howell, Ref **14/00179/B**, for the renovation and extension of former mill building to create a dwelling at Scholaby Mill Ballakilpheric Road Colby Isle of Man IM9 4BX subject to compliance with the following condition(s):

1. The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.

2. This approval relates to the conversion and alterations and extensions of the existing mill to a dwelling, as shown in drawings S-01, P-02, P-03 and P-04 all received on 13th February, 2014 and the development must be undertaken in accordance with these drawings. In particular, no approval is hereby granted to the rebuilding of any fabric which may, during the course of construction, become unstable, or fall down or be removed. Such removal of existing fabric could invalidate the approval hereby granted.

3. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2012 (or any Order revoking or re-enacting that Order) no extensions, greenhouses, polytunnels, walls, gates, fences, garden sheds, summerhouses, decking, garages, car ports, flag poles or tanks for the storage of oil or gas for domestic heating shall be erected nor windows or rooflights, solar panels or ground or water source heat installations replaced or installed (other than those expressly authorised by this approval).

4. The textured cladding to be used must be "natural titanium" as illustrated in the manufacturer’s brochure, unless otherwise approved by the Planning Authority.

5. No approval is hereby granted to the use of any of the land to the north of the footpath, shown within the red line, as residential curtilage which must be confined to the area to the south of the footpath as shown in red on plan reference S-01.

**NOTE** The application has been considered on the basis that the means of access to the site from a public carriageway is to the west from the Scholaby Road. No approval is hereby granted for the access to be from the east from the Ballakilpheric Road although the applicant or subsequent owner/occupier may have rights of access over this route. No approval is hereby granted to any works to upgrade either track, although as the access is

shown from the Scholaby Road, proposals may be acceptable for the upgrading of this route, depending upon the nature of these works. Any material change to this access will require planning approval.

NOTE The applicant is encouraged to consider ways in which the water wheel feature could be reintroduced to the building and should liaise with the Planning Authority in this respect.

Date of Issue:
1st April 2014

M Gallagher
Director of Planning and Building Control
