Officer's Report

Planning Status And Relevant Policies

Within the adopted Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007, the following policies are considered to be relevant in the determination of this application: General Policy 2, paragraph 8.12.1, Environment Policy 35

Assessment

The application site is set within a Conservation Area. The proposal is set to the rear of the property. The replacement windows are similar in style to the existing windows apart from the window for the dormer; however, the Conservation Officer is content with the proposal. It is considered the proposal would have a neutral affect to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the planning permission be granted subject to conditions in the attached schedule.

Party Status

The local authority is, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered an "interested person" and as such should be afforded party status.

The Department of Transport Highways and Traffic Division is now part of the Department of Infrastructure of which the planning authority is part. As such, the Highways and Traffic Division cannot be afforded party status in this instance.
