Officer's Report

The application seeks approval in principle to convert the existing farm buildings within a farm group in Maughold to create two semi-detached and two detached dwellings.

The application is a repetition of a previously approved planning application, 01/01873/B, which expired on the 23rd August 2004. As there have been no material changes in circumstance since the previous approval I have to recommend that the planning application be approved subject to the same conditions.
