Officer's Report

Planning Status

Within the adopted Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007, the following policies are considered to be relevant in the determination of this application: General Policy 2, Environment Policy 35

Assessment

This application is proposing to install two velux rooflights to the rear of the property. The application site is located within a Conservation Area. The rooflights would not be visible from street level, as other building around the application site obscures any views of the site. It is considered the proposal will not adversely affect the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and would not adversely affect the visual amenities of the locality.

Recommendation

It is recommended that planning permission be granted subject conditions.

Party Status

The local authority are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status.

The Highways Division of the Department of Transport is now part of the Department of Infrastructure of which the planning authority is part of. As such, the Highways Division cannot be afforded party status in this instance.
