Officer's Report

The application is for the conversion of and extension of an existing garage and the erection of a replacement double garage on a detached dwelling in Sulby, Lezayre. The proposal represents a

modest sized extension onto the existing garage and the erection of a replacement garage on the opposite side of the dwelling.

An objection has been received from the neighbouring property on the grounds of loss of privacy, noise, increase in housing density, overlooking and unneighbourly development. I do not agree with these concerns and do not consider that the proposal adversely impacts on the neighbouring property. Whilst the area has been subject of flooding the Department of Transport Drainage Division have no objection to the development.
