The conservatory would have a hipped roof which would be glazed. 3.0 PLANNING HISTORY 3.1 The previous applications relate to the construction of the estate and not specifically to the application site. 4.0 DEVELOPMENT PLAN POLICIES 4.1 The application site is in an area zoned as "Predominantly Residential" identified on the 1982 Development Order. Given the nature of the application it is appropriate to consider General Policy 2 and Paragraph 8.12.1 of The Isle of Man Strategic Plan (20th June 2007). 4.2 General Policy 2 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. 4.3 Paragraph 8.12.1 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 11 August 2014 14/00823/B Page 1 of 3

property where such extensions would not have an adverse impact on either adjacent property or the surrounding area in general. 5.0 CONSULTATIONS 5.1 No comments received 6.0 ASSESSMENT 6.1 The application seeks approval for the erection of a conservatory on 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 area in general and the impact upon amenities of neighbouring properties. 6.2 The proposed extension would project from the rear elevation by approximately 3.9m, there is an existing fence between the properties which is approximately 1.7m in height, the blockwork wall closets to the boundary would be similar in height to the existing fence, above the blockwork wall is an area of u PVC and glazing which would be approximately 0.5m higher than the wall. A 2m high fence could be erected on the shared boundary under Permitted Development which would be similar in height to the proposed conservatory it is considered that the proposal would not have an adverse impact upon the amenities of the adjoining property in terms of appearing unduly overbearing or result in the undue loss of light. 6.3 The conservatory would be to the rear of the dwelling and therefore would not be overly visible from the public thoroughfare therefore having limited impact upon the character and appearance of the property and street scene in general. 6.4 For the above reasons the application is considered to be acceptable and is recommended for approval. 7.0 PARTY STATUS 7.1 In line with Article 6(4) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure)(No2) Order 2013, the following Persons are considered to have sufficient interest in the subject matter of the application to take part in any subsequent proceedings relating to the application: the applicant or, if there is one, the applicant's agent, and the Local Authority, Andreas Commissioners in whose district the land the subject of the application sits.
