Application No.: 15/00041/B Applicant: Mr Colin & Mrs June Davies Proposal: Installation of window to replace existing garage door and window / door alterations (amendment to PA 14/01338/B) Site Address: The Hug 4 Pairk Beg Port Erin Isle of Man IM9 6NH Case Officer : Miss Laura Davy Expected Decision Level: Officer Delegation
1.0 THE SITE - 1.1 The application site is the curtilage of 4 Pairk Beg, Port Erin which is a single storey detached bungalow which is to the south east side of the highway. The property is a true bungalow with an attached flat roof garage to the side elevation. There is a long driveway to the front of the garage which provides two parking spaces; there is also a relatively large garden to the front and rear.
2.0 THE PROPOSAL - 2.1 The application seeks approval for the installation of a window to replace the garage door and installation of doors and windows to the rear of the property. Also proposed is the removal of the window in the side elevation of the existing garage. - 2.2 This application proposes an amendment to the previously approved scheme PA 14/01338/B, the amendment is the installation of a corner window at the rear of the converted garage which would face into the garden.
3.0 PLANNING HISTORY - 3.1 The following previous planning application is considered to be specifically material in the assessment of the current application:
PA 14/01338/B Installation of window to replace existing garage door and window/door alterations - approved
4.0 DEVELOPMENT PLAN POLICIES - 4.1 The application site is in an area zoned as "Predominantly Residential" identified on The Area Plan for the South 2013. Given the nature of the application it is appropriate to consider General Policy 2 of The Isle of Man Strategic Plan (20th June 2007).
5.0 CONSULTATIONS - 5.1 Department of Infrastructure Highway Services and Michael Parish Commissioners indicate that they do not oppose the application (28th January, 2015.
6.1 The key considerations in the assessment of the application are the impacts upon the character and appearance of the property and street scene in general, the impact upon the amenities of the neighbouring properties and the impact upon highway safety. - 6.2 The alterations to the front elevation include the installation of a window to replace the garage door and the installation of a replacement flat roof. The proposed works to the front are considered to be fairly minor and would not adversely affect the character and appearance of the property or street scene. - 6.3 The removal of the window from the side elevation of the garage would remove the aspect of overlooking towards the neighbouring property. - 6.4 The alterations to the rear include the installation of a larger replacement window in the rear corner of the existing garage, installation of French windows to replace an existing door in the side elevation of the existing garage which faces onto the garden. In the rear elevation of the bungalow a set of French windows would be installed to replace an existing window. - 6.5 The proposed alterations are considered to be fairly minor and would not adversely affect the character and appearance of the property or the street scene in general. - 6.6 It is considered that the proposals would not have an unduly harmful impact upon the amenities of the neighbouring properties. - 6.7 The driveway to the front of the bungalow is approximately 3.2m in width and 11.4m in length. The driveway is just below the standard requirement for two parking spaces, each space measuring approximately 3.25m x 6m, given that the parking would be just under the standards required it is considered that the driveway would still provide sufficient off street parking with the bungalow. The requirement to provide additional car parking would result in more garden space being lost to hard surfacing and on balance, considering the existing onsite parking which is available to the property it is not considered appropriate to request the provision of additional hard surfaced areas in this case. - 6.8 For the above reasons the application is considered to be acceptable and is recommended for approval.
