Officer’s Report

THE APPLICATION SITE 1.1 The application site is the residential curtilage of a detached house which sits in a cul de sac of 31 dwelllings to the east of Station Road to the north of the A3 TT Course in Ballaugh.

1.2 The existing property is a relatively modern two storey house with integral garage.

                                      18/01122/B                                     Page  2  of  3

1.3 There is a conservatory at the rear which sits to the right of the centre. This has a pitched roof with rounded end which is finished in glazed panes.

THE PROPOSAL 2.1 The current planning application seeks approval for the replacement of the existing conservatory roof with brown coloured tiles which will match the finish on the main house.

PLANNING HISTORY 3.1 The conservatory was added under 03/01700/B.

PLANNING POLICY 4.1 The application site is within an area designated as Proposed Residential on the 1982 Planning Scheme Order. The estate was built in the early 2000s.

4.2 In terms of policy it is important to consider General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 in the assessment of this application.

General Policy 2 states;

"Development which is in accordance with the land-use zoning and proposals in the appropriate Area Plan and with other policies of this Strategic Plan will normally be permitted, provided that the development:

b) respects the site and surroundings in terms of the siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping of buildings and the spaces around them; c) does not affect adversely the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape; g) does not affect adversely the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality; n) is designed having due regard to best practice in reducing energy consumption."

REPRESENTATIONS 5.1 Highway Services indicate that there is no highway interest in the application (02.11.18).

5.2 Ballaugh Parish Commissioners have no objection (22.11.18).

ASSESSMENT 6.1 The proposed roof tiles would be similar in appearance to the existing roof of the main house and are likely to provide a constant and unbroken appearance through the rear elevation of the property enhancing the overall appearance. It is unlikely that there will be any impact on visual or other amenity from either of the neighbouring properties.

6.2 The roof would not be visible from the public vantage point of Glebe Aalin and as such the character of the existing property and streetscene would remain unaffected.

6.3 Overall it is expected that the new roof system will provide the conservatory with a better thermal quality and a more comfortable internal environment throughout both the summer and winter months. It's likely that the energy efficiency of the conservatory will improve.

CONCLUSION 7.1 For the above reasons the proposal is considered to comply with GP2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 and therefore acceptable.

INTERESTED PERSON STATUS 8.1 By virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No 2) Order 2013 (Article 6(4), the following persons are automatically interested persons: (a) The applicant, or if there is one, the applicant's agent;

(b) The owner and the occupier of any land that is the subject of the application or any other person in whose interest the land becomes vested; (c) Any Government Department that has made written submissions relating to planning considerations with respect to the application that the Department considers material (d) Highway Services Division of Department of Infrastructure and (e) The local authority in whose district the land the subject of the application is situated.

8.2 The decision maker must determine: o whether any other comments from Government Departments (other than the Department of Infrastructure Highway Services Division) are material; and o whether there are other persons to those listed in Article 6(4) who should be given Interested Person Status.
