# Planning Application Description

Great Meadow Lodge is the gate house associated with the Great Meadow House and Estate on the A3 between Ballasalla and Castletown. The Lodge has been occupied until recent times but is in poor internal repair and in need of internal refurbishment + modernisation.

Vehicle access to the estate has historically been via the arched entrance that forms part of the north side of the property. The property originally consisted of only the gateway and a small enclosure for an attendant gate man and has been extended a number of times over the years to form the current building.

A planning application was approved to form a new vehicle access to all of the properties on the estate, independent of the Lodge, in order to provide safer access to the highway and to provide adequate access to the estate for larger vehicles, such as emergency vehicles.

(PA/13/00408/B • approved 03 June 2013)

This access is now in place leaving the archway redundant.

The purpose of this application is twofold. Firstly to remove the vehicle access from the building in order that all vehicles use the new access. Secondly, to propose an extension to the Lodge thereby improving the accommodation to better suit the requirements of a modern family and to better orientate the property away from the road and towards the fields and views to the west and the south west.
