1.1 The site is roughly half of a field situated on the western side of the Phiddraw Road which runs north from Ballasalla towards the A3 Foxdale/Ballamodha Road. The site is 1.6 acres in size - the whole of the area of the field is 3 acres. The applicant owns all of the field and this application seeks permission for the southern half. The southern half of the site abuts the northern boundary of Thrang End, a detached dwelling which sits some 35 m from the Phiddraw Road. 1.2 The site has a Manx hedge along its front boundary with self seeded ash trees growing within it and electricity and telegraph poles and services running across the frontage.
2.1 Proposed is a full detailed proposal to erect a dwelling on the site and the creation of an access onto Phiddraw Road. The application follows an approval in principle, PA 10/01078 granted for two dwellings on the site. As the applicant wishes to pursue two different houses on the two approved plots, they have opted to apply for two separate applications in case there are concerns about one and not the other. 2.2 This application proposes the erection of a dwelling and creation of access from Phiddraw Road. The access will provide visibility splays of 2 m by 90 m by the setting back of the gate pillars at the entrance and the removal of trees and the setting back of the back on each side. From there a 4.8 m wide road is proposed with hedges either side with 1.8 m wide footways on each side and 2.2 m high stone pillars with 400 mm high cappings atop set into the hedges each side of the entrance. 2.3 The proposed dwelling provides a main frontage of 27 m with a garage block projecting further forward of the front elevation by around 17 m . The whole of the dwelling is around 53 m from the road with the garage within 37 m thereof. The house is oriented such that the front elevation faces approximately east. The style is based upon a more traditional style of dwelling than the Arts and Crafts style of the property proposed on plot 1 with its asymmetrical roof slopes, a mix of stonework, smooth render and red tile hanging with artificial slate roofing, hardwood doors and windows and timber soffitts and fascias. The dwelling has a gable end on the left hand side and a hipped roof on the right which slopes down to complement the slope of the single storey garage roof in front. The front elevation
will have two stone faced projecting gables and vertically proportioned windows. The front elevation is slightly inaccurate in that there is a lean-to annex on the right hand side which is not shown behind the garage. This is not an important detail. 2.5 The property will be at closest 44 m from Cavendish House to the north. The elevation which faces north towards the side of Cavendish House's side garden has first floor bedroom and windows serving a gym, bathroom and the garage at ground floor level. The dwelling has a given floor area of 775 sq m . 2.6 The garage proposed will accommodate at least three vehicles.
3.1 The site lies within an area designated on the Southern Area Plan as "Proposed Low Density Housing in Parkland". 3.2 The Planning Circular which provides advice on such development is 8 / 89 which requires, amongst other things, that each dwelling should sit comfortably in its own grounds of at least one acre and that the dwelling should be appropriately landscaped, retaining as many existing trees as are practicable. 3.3 The Southern Area Plan confirms that the provisions of this circular will continue to apply to such developments.
4.1 The most relevant recent application on the site is the approval in principle, PA 10/01078 as referred to above. The conditions of that approval required that each dwelling have a fair face to the main road and be sited at least 40 m from the road in order to sit comfortably in the streetscene. Each dwelling must have its own landscaping scheme.
5.1 Malew Parish Commissioners do not oppose the application and are pleased to see a landscaping scheme associated with the development. 5.2 The agent acting on behalf of the owner of land in the vicinity of but not physically adjoining the site suggests that the plans do not show fully that the required visibility splays can be provided on land within the applicant's ownership and control and that it is important that this is provided to ensure highway safety.
6.1 The proposed dwelling is attractively designed and sits within a landscaped site of over 1 acre as required by the Circular and the approval in principle. There is a variety of house styles in the area and the traditional style here will sit comfortably within the streetscene. 6.2 Having discussed the proposal with the Highways Division it is considered that the proposals for access are acceptable and that satisfactory visibility splays can be provided on land within the applicant's ownership or control. The nature of the highway at this point places the proposed entrance on the outside of a slight curve which results in the majority of the visibility splay being provided within the public highway. In any case, the provision of the access was not reserved as this was approved in the approval in principle - PA 10/01078.
7.1 The local authority, Malew Parish Commissioners are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status.
7.2 The owner of land in the vicinity who has written in does not own land physically adjoining the site and as such should not be afforded party status.
