J property where such extensions would not have an adverse impact on either adjacent property or the surrounding area in general. f 5.0 CONSULTATIONS 5.1 No comments 6.0 ASSESSMENT 6.1 The application seeks approval for the installation of a flat roof dormer in the rear elevation. The main issues to consider in the assessment of the application are the impacts upon the character and appearance of the property and street scene and the impact upon the amenities of the neighbouring properties. 6.2 The proposed dormer would be in the rear elevation of the property, the rear elevation of the dwelling looks towards the highway which provides access on to Peveril Road. 6.3 The dormer would not look directly towards any of the neighbouring properties and is considered to be a sufficient distance from the surrounding properties. Given that the dormer looks towards the highway it is considered that the proposal would not result in undue overlooking or loss of privacy of the surrounding properties. 6.4 White the proposed dormer is not considered to be overly attractive there are a number of dormers in the Mountain View estate, there is a general acceptance of such dormers on the rear eievations of these properties. While the dormer would be visible from the highway it is judged that the proposal would not have an unacceptable impact upon the character and appearance of the property or street scene in general. 6.5 For the above reasons the application is considered to be acceptable and is recommended for approval. 7.0 PARTY STATUS 7.1 The local authority, Peel Commissioners are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No 2) Order 2013, paragraph 6 (4) (e), considered an "interested person" and as such should be afforded interested person status.
