Officer's Report

The Application Site And Proposed Development

The application site comprises the curtilage of a two-storey detached dwelling that is located on the Ballagawne Road in Lonan.

The proposed development comprises of the erection of a two-storey extension onto the dwelling.

Planning History

There are no previous planning applications that I consider relevant to the assessment of this current planning application.

Representations

Lonan Parish Commissioners recommend that the planning application be approved.

The Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service recommend the installation of smoke detectors.

Planning Policy

The application site is within an area recognised as being open space/agricultural use under the Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005. The dwelling effectively constitutes a dwelling within the countryside.

Assessment

I consider the scale, form and design of the proposed extension to be in keeping with character of the dwelling. I am satisfied that the proposal does not adversely affect public or private amenity and, as such, is acceptable.

I recommend that the planning application be approved.

Party Status

I consider that all parties that made representations to the planning application meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status.
