Ballacregga Farm, Lhen Road, Bride, Isle Of Man, IM7 4bf
The proposal involves converting a motorboat outbuilding at Ballacregga Farm, located north of the A12 coast road near the coast in a remote rural area, into living accommodation. The northwest elevation is to be rebuilt as it is not structurally sound, while existing openings are utilised with some new windows added.

The site is in a remote rural location north of the A12 coast road, close to the coast but not readily visible from the wider area.
Renovation of Buildings in the Countryside
The circular allows scope for modest and appropriately scaled extensions to rural buildings. The officer assessed the proposal as compliant due to the remote location, lack of visibility from the A12, and the conversion utilising the existing structure with minimal changes.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
