Officer's Report

1.0 THE SITE

1.1 The site represents the curtilages of two approved dwellings within a developing estate to the south west of Castletown centre. The estate comprises 41 new dwellings and the conversion of barns to further dwelling units. Plots 32 and 33 is the subject of this application sites which are some of the northern most dwellings on the site, on the northeastern boundary of the site. 1.2 Both properties form part of a row of four, two storey terraced properties which faces towards the northwest and both with a detached double garage to the south of the dwellings, detached from both plots.

6.0 ASSESSMENT

6.1 The main issue to consider with the proposal is the potential impacts of the proposed dwelling upon the existing neighbouring properties. Issues such as overlooking resulting in a loss of privacy, overbearing impact upon outlook and/or loss of light are the main issues relating to residential amenities.

6.3 The property most likely to be affected would be Nr 31 which is to the northwest and attached to Nr 32. However, from considering the plans this neighbouring property has also benefited from a very similar extension and the proposed extension would not project further than this neighbouring extension. 6.4 Overall, given the distance and siting between the proposal and neighbouring properties, it is considered these increase in terms of massing of the extensions would not have a significant impacts upon the amenities (loss of light/overbearing) of these neighbouring properties. 6.5 In terms of design, size, proportion and massing the proposed extensions would match similar types of developments throughout the new housing estate. 6.6 The proposed changes do not adversely affect the character or appearance of the property nor do they affect the impact of the dwelling within the street scene.
