### Officer's Report

Ballacurn Mooar is in an elevated position, sited off the southern end of Cobb Lane. The site commands excellent views over Ballaugh, Michael and the north-western coastline.

Approval was granted under PA 99/1167 for the conversion of the barns to form additional living accommodation.

A conservatory is now proposed which is of a size and design which would be totally out of keeping with the barns as converted. In the Commissioners' own words, it would be a 'blot on the landscape'.

### Recommendation

R 1. The proposed conservatory would detract from the character and appearance of the barn group to the detriment of the scenic value of the area.
