1.0 THE SITE - 1.1 The application site represents the curtilage of an existing property 15 All Saints Park, Lonan a single storey detached dwelling which is located to the northern side of All Saints Park which is a residential cul-de-sac.
2.0 THE PROPOSAL - 2.1 Planning permission is sought for alterations to the existing rear conservatory/sun room by way of introducing full height glazing to the exterior following removal of the existing lowlevel blockwork, removal of the existing hipped roof and replacement with a flat roof. The addition of bi-fold doors in the rear elevation of the dwelling is also proposed. - 2.2 At the front of the dwelling, a front infill extension to the existing attached garage is further proposed, with the resultant extension to mirror the design and roof pitch of the remainder of the dwelling. Such proposals would facilitate an enlarged kitchen and utility area, with a small area of 'garage' space to remain at the front.
3.0 PLANNING HISTORY - 3.1 18/00352/B - Replacement of existing glazed conservatory roof with tiles - Permitted
4.0 PLANNING POLICY - 4.1 The application site is identified in Area Plan for the East as land zoned for 'predominantly residential' purposes within the settlement boundary of Laxey. The site is not located within a Conservation Area. - 4.2 The following policies from the 2016 Strategic Plan are considered pertinent in the assessment of this application;
Strategic Policy 2 Priority for new development to identified towns and villages 3 To respect the character of our towns and villages 5 Design and visual impact
Spatial Policy
General Policy 2b,c,g General Development Considerations Environment Policy 42 Designed to respect the character and identity of the locality Transport Policy
6.1 The site falls within the settlement boundary of Laxey and an area zoned as 'predominantly residential' in the Area Plan for the East, where there is a general presumption in favour of extensions to dwellings provided such development would not have an adverse impact on the amenities of adjacent properties or the surrounding area in general. - 6.2 The proposed works would result in relatively minimal alterations to the existing property, the nature of which would not result in a significant change to its current character and appearance, or indeed it's interaction with the immediate streetscene. The proposals would further provide enhanced accommodation for the existing property, with modifications to the rear sun room considered appropriate from a design perspective. - 6.3 Given the modest nature of the works and the site's relationship with surrounding properties, it is not considered that the proposals would result in a materially harmful impact upon the amenities of surrounding dwellings with respect to overlooking, overshadowing or loss of light. On this basis, the proposals are considered to be acceptable and thus compliant with General Policy 2 (b), (c) and (g) of the Strategic Plan 2016.
