The proposal at Yn Darragh, Darragh, Port Erin involved replacing the front porch, converting the house's integral garage to living accommodation with a 2.5m ridge height increase via a first floor extension, and building a new detached double garage (5.8m x 7.3m x 5.2m high) 15m southwest of the house in a wooded, slo…

Refusal Reasons

✗There is already an existing garage within the fabric of the building. As such there is no need to provide the new garage other than to provide additional living accommodation for the property. The new garage would be less convenient for those living within the house and would encroach into an area not designated for development and which is attractive and unspoiled and would result in an access which offers inadequate visibility for drivers of vehicles emerging from the site. The creation of the garage and the associated turning and access could adversely affect the trees which surround the site of the new building which would be detrimental to the appearance and character of this area which is designated as Open Space on the Port Erin Local Plan.

Decision & Reasoning

Refused7 June 2006

The officer noted an existing garage within the house fabric, making the new detached garage unnecessary except to enable more living space, effectively intensifying residential use.

Policies Assessed (1)

PORTERINLOCALPLAN

Port Erin Local Plan (Mixed Use zoning)

Eastern site part designated 'Res' (residential); western part designated Open Space. Proposal's new garage encroaches into Open Space, an attractive unspoiled area with trees not allocated for development. Officer assessed this as detrimental to appearance and character, failing to respect designations.
