Officer’s Report
THE SITE 1.1 The proposal site is the residential curtilage of 14 Corrins Way, Peel. It is a two storey semi-detached dwelling forming part of a cluster of dwellings along Corrins Way which terminates in a Cul-de-sac.
THE PROPOSAL
==== PAGE 2 ====
19/00348/B Page 2 of 3
2.1 The proposal comprises the alteration and replacement of an existing conservatory at the rear of the dwelling. 2.2 The work will entail the re-design of the window, doors and the roof of the conservatory to reflect a style change. The lean to roof design will not be changed, although a roof vent will be included in the new design. 2.3 The new conservatory will be taller than the existing design. The height of the conservatory will be 2.9 metres (0.3m taller than existing), while the height from ground to eaves will be 2.5 metres (0.1 m taller than existing). 2.4 The total floor area for the conservatory will remain unchanged (4.03m x 3m).
PLANNING POLICY 3.1. In terms of local plan policy, the application site is within an area recognised as being within predominantly residential use under the Peel Local Plan, 1989. Similarly, the Peel Written Statement (Planning Circular 6/89) that accompanies the Peel Local Plan when considering developments in the residential areas states that: "The refurbishment and amalgamation of properties within the town will be encouraged".
3.2 As the site falls within a residential land use zone, General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan is relevant:
" 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."
PLANNING HISTORY 4.1 The application site has not been the subject of any previous planning applications, and as such there are no previous applications materially relevant to the assessment of this current planning application.
REPRESENTATIONS Copies of representations received can be viewed on the government's website. This report contains summaries only. 5.1 Representation from the Department of Infrastructure (DOI) Highways Division confirms that there is no highways interest in the letter dated 16 April 2019. 5.2 The Peel Town Commissioners have not commented on this application at the time of drafting this report, and so it is assumed that there are no objections to the application.
ASSESSMENT 6.1 In assessing this application, the key area of concern is the potential impact on the character and appearance of both the site and street scene. 6.2 The proposed works in terms of the forms, design and finishes would be an improvement over the existing design of the conservatory. What is more, the works would not be especially apparent when travelling along Corrins Way due to fact that the building is at the end of a cul- de-sac, the works are to the rear. Additionally, the works would not create any view issues in terms of overlooking. Therefore, the proposal is considered to comply with General Policy 2.
CONCLUSION 7.1 The proposal is, therefore, recommended for approval.
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:
