The Application Site
The application site comprises the residential curtilage of a single storey detached dwelling located in Barrule Park, Ramsey.
The Proposal
The proposal comprises the erection of a door canopy and the erection of an extension to replace existing conservatory.
Planning History
The application site has not been the subject of any previous planning applications that are considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application.
Planning Policy
In terms of local plan policy, the application site is within an area recognised as being within predominantly residential use under the Ramsey Local Plan Order 1998. There are no policies with Planning Circular 2/99, the written statement that accompanies the local plan, considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application.
In terms of strategic plan policy, the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 contains one policy that is considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application. General Policy 2 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:
(a) is in accordance with the design brief in the Area Plan where there is such a brief;
(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;
(d) does not adversely affect the protected wildlife or locally important habitats on the site or adjacent land, including water courses;
(e) does not affect adversely public views of the sea;
(f) incorporates where possible existing topography and landscape features, particularly trees and sod banks;
(g) does not affect adversely the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality;
(h) provides satisfactory amenity standards in itself, including where appropriate safe and convenient access for all highway users, together with adequate parking, servicing and manoeuvring space;
(i) does not have an unacceptable effect on road safety or traffic flows on the local highways;
(j) can be provided with all necessary services;
(k) does not prejudice the use or development of adjoining land in accordance with the appropriate Area Plan;
(l) is not on contaminated land or subject to unreasonable risk of erosion or flooding;
(m) takes account of community and personal safety and security in the design of buildings and the spaces around them; and

(n) is designed having due regard to best practice in reducing energy consumption."
Paragraph 8.12.1 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 states "As a general policy, in built up areas not controlled by Conservation Area or Registered Building policies, there will be a general presumption in favour of extensions to existing property where such extensions would not have an adverse impact on either adjacent property or the surrounding area in general."
Representations
The Department of Infrastructure Highways Division do not oppose the planning application.
Assessment
The two elements proposed by the planning application are both considered to be relatively minor and unobjectionable. Neither the proposed door canopy nor the proposed extension adversely affect public amenity, private amenity, highway safety or any other obvious material planning consideration. As such, the proposal is concluded to accord with the provisions of General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the planning application be approved.
Party Status
It is considered that the following parties that made representations to the planning application should not be afforded interested party status:
The Department of Infrastructure Highways Division.
