Officer's Report

The site

The site represents the curtilage of an existing detached bungalow situated in the south western part of Ballacriy Park, on the northern side of the A7 Main Road which runs through Colby.

Planning Status and relevant policies The site lies within an area of Residential use on the Arbory and East Rushen Local Plan which was adopted by Tynwald in 1999. Planning history

Planning permission has been sought for a variety of extensions:

PA 04/0529 was refused at appeal and subsequently the applicant sought permission for an alternative scheme which was approved under PA 05/1067.

The proposal

Proposed here is the addition of a small vestibule on the front elevation. This would be 4m in width and project 2m from the front of the dwelling and be finished to match the brickwork on the remainder of the house.

Representations

Department of Transport Drainage Division recommend that standard condition 7 is attached to any approved, relating to the disposal of surface water.

Arbory Parish Commissioners raise no objection to the proposal.

Assessment

The extension is a very modest addition to the property and affects neither the appearance of the dwelling or the amenities of the neighbouring property.

Party status

Department of Transport Drainage Division and Arbory Parish Commissioners are or represent statutory authorities and as such should be afforded party status in this case.
