Within the curtilage of the site comprise three structures, the Cottage, a detached garage and a single storey detached stable block. ### Planning Policy The application site is within an area recognised as being an area of white land not zoned for development, under the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982. The site is not within a Conservation Area, however is within an area zoned as high landscape value. ### Planning History Conversion of roof space over garage to create holiday accommodation, Ballamenagh Cottage, Handleys Corner, Michael (98/00569/B) – approved. Erection of stable block and driveway extension (98/00388/B) – approved Erection of stable block (97/01956/B) – refused Conversion of roof space over garage to create holiday accommodation (97/01759/B) – refused ### Proposal The application proposes the erection of a lambing shed adjacent to existing stable block. The proposal would be located 4.27 metres south of the existing stable and would have a width of 5.11 metres, length of 7.62 metres and a maximum height of 3.5 metres. ### Representations Michael Commissioners advise that they have no objection The Department of Transport Highways Division:- No comments The Manx Electricity Authority makes no comment on the merit of the proposed development but request that an informative note be attached to any approval decision notice. We have received no private representations objecting to the application. ### Assessment / Recommendation Due to the significant ground level differences between the site and that of the highway (site much higher) the proposal would not be very apparent from the highway, but also due to a number of large mature trees and hedges/bushes along the western boundary of the site which runs along the highway. Therefore the proposal would not cause any adverse visual impacts upon the dwelling or that of the surrounding countryside. For this reason the proposal would seem appropriate in this location and therefore my recommendation is for an approval. ### Party Status I consider that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status: Michael Commissioners Highways Division I consider that the following parties that made representations to the planning application do not meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should not be afforded interested party status: Manx Electricity Authority ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 16.01.2007 ### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal C : Conditions for approval N : Notes attached to conditions R : Reasons for refusal - : Notes attached to refusals C 1.
