Officer’s Report
1.0 THE SITE 1.1 The site is 5 Ballaterson Crescent, Peel, a single-storey semi-detached house located on the northeast of Ballaterson Crescent. The house consists of a pitched-roof main house and a flat-roof conservatory at the rear. The middle part of the eave on the front elevation is raised and projects slightly outward, creating a quasi-porch section. This section includes the existing front entrance.
1.2 The boundary between the pair of semi-detached houses is demarcated with tall fences and hedges. The land gently slopes upward to the rear of the site.
2.0 THE PROPOSAL 2.1 The proposal is the erection of a pitched-roof extension front extension and the erection of a pitched-roof extension on the rear elevation, replacing the existing rear extension.
2.2 The front extension is approx 2.7m wide and projects approx. 1.7m from the front elevation of the main house. Its ridge is just a bit higher than the eave of the main house. This extension will be the new front entrance of the house.
2.3 The rear extension is approx 5.6m wide and projects approx 5m from the rear elevation of the main house. It is located near the boundary with No. 7.
3.0 PLANNING HISTORY 3.1 Erection of front porch and rear extension was APPROVED under PA 24/90909/B. This application contains a similar front extension as the current application and a significantly smaller rear extension.

7.0 ASSESSMENT Elements of Assessment 7.1 The key considerations of this application are its impact on the house itself, on the character and streetscene of the area, and the amenities of the neighbours.
Design of the House Itself 7.2 The extensions are subordinate to the main house, and their roofscape matches that of the existing.
Character and Streetscene 7.3 Given 7.2, the proposal is not considered to harm the character or streetscene of the area.
Neighbouring Amenities 7.5 The front extension has no additional impact on neighbouring amenities.
7.6 Given the high fences along the boundary, the proposal is not considered to have an additional overbearing, overshadowing or overlooking impact.
Parking 7.7 As the front extension is similar to the previous approval, its impact on parking provision is considered acceptable.
8.0 CONCLUSION 8.1 The proposal does not harm the character of the area or neighbouring amenities. Therefore, it is considered to comply with General Policy 2 of the Strategic Plan and the Residential Design Guide, and is recommended for an approval.
9.0 INTEREST PERSON STATUS 9.1 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 sets out the process for determining planning applications (including appeals). It sets out a Right to Appeal (i.e. to submit an appeal against a planning decision) and a Right to Give Evidence at Appeals (i.e. to participate in an appeal if one is submitted).
