Officer’s Report
THE APPLICATION SITE 1.1 The application site is the residential curtilage of 30 Balleigh Park, which is situated on the east of Balleigh Park opposite Alkest Way.
1.2 The existing property is two storeys high property of rendered finish

1.3 There is a conservatory at the side of the dwelling to the middle of the western elevation with a decorative roof finished in uPVC which has a matching rendered brick plinth. The conservatory roof can be seen from the road side when entering into Balleigh Park from the eastern entrance and also when working around Balleigh Park to the rear of the property.
THE PROPOSAL 2.1 The current planning application seeks approval to replace the existing uPVC conservatory roof with a modern tiled roof. The proposed tile roof will be finished in Vixen Metrotile lightweight roof tiles to match the existing dwelling, with the glazing on three elevations. The red brick plinth will remain the same.
PLANNING HISTORY 3.1 There are several applications on the site of which the conservatory was approved under the application 00/02065/B.
PLANNING POLICY 4.1 The site lies within an area zoned as Predominantly Residential on the Ramsey Local Plan 1998.
4.2 Of specific relevance to the assessment of this application is General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 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 have No Highways Interest in this application (07.05.2019).
5.2 Ramsey Town Commissioners have considered the proposal and have no objection (22.05.19).
ASSESSMENT 6.1 The existing conservatory sits to the side of the property and is visible from a public vantage point of Balleigh Park. 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 side 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 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 General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 and therefore acceptable.
