| Application No.: | 11/01336/B |
| Applicant: | Hartford Homes Ltd |
| Proposal: | Erection of a dwelling with detached garage |
| Site Address: | 28 Knock Rushen Scarlett Road Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1TQ |
The site represents the curtilage of approved plot within a developing estate to the south west of Castletown centre. The estate comprises 41 new dwellings and the conversion of barns to further dwelling units. The plot 28 is the subject of this application sits within the centre of the site.
The plot has benefited from a previous approval with a similar designed property and orientated position.
The site lies within an area designated on the Castletown Local Plan of 1991 as Predominantly Residential. On the draft Southern Area Plan which was published on 23rd October, 2009 the site is identified as Residential with an area of Public Open Space and a site of archaeological interest in the north western corner.
Now proposed is the erection of a dwelling with detached garage. The footprint and siting of the main aspect of the dwelling house is very similar to the previous approval. What differs is the proposed rear extension. The proposal would have a width of 6 metres, a depth of 5.7 metres and a height of 7.7 metres. The proposal would provide a family room at ground floor level and a further bedroom with en-suite and dressing room at first floor level.
Planning permission was granted for the development of the estate under PA 04/2083 and this scheme was amended under PAs 09/1335, 09/1949, 10/0241, 10/0600, 10/0837, 10/1014, 10/01080/B, 11/00906/B, 11/01167/B, 11/01168/B, 11/01169/B, 11/01170/B and 11/01208/B.
Highway Division:- "Do not oppose has no adverse traffic management, parking or road safety implications."
The Planning Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the proposal.

In terms of the proposed new dwelling, it would not be dissimilar to the previously approval on the site. The only exception would be the inclusion of the rear gabled end extension.
In terms of design, size, proportion and massing the amendments to the previously approved dwelling it would be in keeping with dwellings throughout the new housing estate.
The proposed changes do not adversely affect the character or appearance of the property nor do they affect the impact of the dwelling within the street scene.
In terms of the potential impacts upon neighbouring properties, given the size of the rear extension, siting and distance and orientations from neighbouring properties it is considered the proposed extension would not have significant impacts upon the residential amenities of the neighbouring occupants.
Overall, it is considered the proposals would comply with the relevant policies of the Isle Of Man Strategic Plan therefore it is recommended that the application be approved.
It is considered that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:
The Department of Transport Highways and Traffic Division is now part of the Department of Infrastructure of which the planning authority is part. As such, the Highways and Traffic Division cannot be afforded party status in this instance.
