Officer's Report

The application seeks approval for the erection of a two-storey extension onto the rear of a semi-detached dwelling in Ballaugh. The proposed extension is similar, albeit slightly smaller, than an existing two-storey extension on the neighbouring property.

An objection has been received on behalf of the neighbouring properties but I would suggest that the majority of the concerns raised relate to civil matters outside the control of planning. The one planning issue raised by the objection relates to a concern that the proposed development represents over development of the site. Given that the proposed development is slightly smaller than a similar extension already built on the neighbouring property and think that this position is unsustainable.

I consider the impact of the proposed development to be acceptable and recommend that the planning application be approved.
