Expected Decision Level : Officer Delegation
1.1 The application site is the curtilage of Abbeystead, 84 Birch Hill Crescent, Onchan which is a detached single storey property situated to the north western side of Birch Hill Crescent. The application site is within an established housing estate, where there is a mixture of properties within the new housing estate.
2.1 The application seeks approval for the roofing works to existing conservatory form glass to a Decra Lite structural roof system, colour to match the existing roof of the main dwelling house.
3.1 The previous planning application is not considered specifically material in the assessment of the application; 3.2 Extend existing front porch to provide small sitting area - 05/00547/B - APPROVED
4.1 The application site is in an area zoned as "Predominantly Residential" identified on the Onchan Local Plan. It is appropriate to consider General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan (20th June 2007). 4.2 General Policy 2 states: "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; l) 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; n) Is designed having due regard to best practice in reducing energy consumption."
5.1 Onchan Commissioners have no objection.
6.1 Visiting the site and considering the submission it is considered the two main issues with the proposal is the potential impact upon the visual amenities of the street scene and the potential impacts upon neighbouring amenities, namely loss of light and/or overbearing impacts upon outlook. 6.2 In terms of the street scene the proposal is set to the rear elevations and therefore the proposed works would not be apparent. However, the works would be in keeping with the existing property 6.3 In relation to the impact upon neighbouring amenities, the proposed works will make the existing conservatory more apparent and will appear to increase the mass given the glass which is a light weight material would be replaced with a solid roof structure. However, given the distance from neighbouring properties the modest height and size of the proposed roofing it is considered the proposal would have little in the way of any impact upon neighbouring amenities.
7.1 Overall, it is considered the proposal would comply with the Isle Of Man Strategic Plan therefore it is recommended that the application be approved.
8.1 The local authority, Onchan 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.
