Officer's Report
The application proposes the internal alteration, amendments and refurbishment to shop front demolition of rear annex, installation of external steel access stairs, creation of a doorway in existing window to rear elevation, removal of existing Perspex yard cover and erection of a block and render wall with entrance to rear elevation at 92 Bucks Road, Douglas, which is a end terrace on a corner plot.
The existing property was a barbers shop with a residential flat above. The proposals do not include a change of use but only to improve the existing property internally and externally. The major construction will be at the rear of the property with the demolition of the rear annex and installation of external steel access stairs.
The Douglas Corporation and the Department of Transport have considered the application and have no objection. We have received no private representations for this application.
The existing property is an eyesore on the street scene (see photos) at present and a proposal to redevelop the property should be encouraged and therefore the proposals would seem to be appropriate in these locations and my recommendation is an approval.
