On site there is the main dwelling and a large equestrian building to the rear. ### Planning Status The site lies within an area designated on the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982 as an Area of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance. ### Planning History The dwelling was permitted under the provisions of PA 87/4782. Since then, a lake has been created within the grounds (PA 94/1246), two satellite dishes were permitted ( 96 / 1211 ), a conservatory and extensions were refused (PA 96/1238), landscaping works were approved (PA 96/1860), the conversion of a garage to a games room was permitted (PA 00/1941), a stable block was permitted on review (PA 00/2117), infilling was permitted (PA 01/0608), alterations to the stables were permitted (PA 01/1879), an administration wing added (PA 01/2500), creation of first floor balcony (PA 02/0439), amendments to stables to create indoor riding area approved (PA 03/1569), permission granted retrospectively for three field shelters (PA 04/0539), permission refused on appeal for the retention of an access track to the riding arena (PA 04/2458) and permission was granted for extensions to outbuildings to create a swimming pool with associated facilities (07/1525). ## **THE PROPOSAL** This application seeks approval for the erection of a stone portico and a first floor balcony including the creation of an access from first floor level to the balcony. The works would be limited to the central projecting gable on the front elevation of the property. **REPRESENTATIONS** The Department of Transport Highways Division does not oppose this application. Santon Parish Commissioners do not object to this application. **ASSESSMENT** The property is already a substantial dwelling and the proposed alterations would not add to the massing of the building, essentially comprising remodelling of the central gable on the front elevation and providing a porch with balcony above. It is judged that the proposal is in-keeping with the design of the existing dwelling and given the distance of the property from surrounding dwellings, it is judged that no loss of amenity would result from the development proposed. ## **PARTY STATUS** The Department of Transport and the local authority are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status. **Recommendation** **Recommended Decision:** Permitted **Date of Recommendation:** 04.12.2009 **Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal** **C : Conditions for approval** **N : Notes attached to conditions** **R : Reasons for refusal** **O : Notes attached to refusals** ##
