Case Officer : Miss Laura Davy Photo Taken : Site Visit : Expected Decision Level : Officer Delegation
1.1 The application site is the curtilage of 6 Church Lane, Peel which is a three storey mid terrace property situated off Church Lane. The property is situated to the northern side of the highway.
2.1 The application seeks approval for the additional use of the dwelling as tourist accommodation. There are no external alterations proposed under this application.
3.1 The previous planning applications are not considered to be specifically material in the assessment of the current application.
4.1 The application site is within an area zoned as "Mixed Use" identified on the Peel Local Plan 1989. It is also within the Peel Conservation Area. Given the nature of the application it is appropriate to consider General Policy 2 and Environment Policy 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan (20th June 2007).
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; I) 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. 4.3 Environment Policy 35
Within Conservation Areas, the Department will permit only development which would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Area, and will ensure that the special features contributing to the character and quality are protected against inappropriate development.
5.1 Highways Division do not oppose as it has no traffic management, parking or road safety implications. 5.2 Peel Commissioners recommend for approval.
6.1 The application seeks approval for the additional use of the dwelling as tourist accommodation. The main issues to consider in the assessment of the application are the impacts upon the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the impact upon the amenities of the neighbouring properties. 6.2 The application site is within an area zoned as Mixed Use and therefore the proposal is acceptable in principle. 6.3 It is considered that the use of the dwelling as tourist accommodation would have similar impacts upon the amenities of the neighbouring properties as the existing. Whilst the use of the site for tourist accommodation is likely to be less than that of a permanent residential dwelling it is likely that tourists might want to arrive and leave the property at unsociable hours, however this is only likely to be for short periods of time. 6.4 There would be no parking provided within the curtilage of the site, but it is reasonable to accept that tourists are likely to have fewer vehicles than permanent residents. 6.5 There would be no external alterations proposed under this application and therefore would not harm the character and appearance of the property. 6.6 For the above reasons the application is considered to be acceptable and is recommended for approval.
7.1 The local authority, Peel Commissioners is, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (d), considered an "interested person" and as such should be afforded party status. 7.2 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.
