Officer's Report

Planning approval is sought to construct a garden/oxygen store in the grounds of the proposed Hospice to be constructed at Ballamona, Braddan, together with a conservatory to extend from a proposed daycare lounge in the main building.

The storage building would be constructed with a pitched roof, rendered walls and timber fence enclosure stained green. The building would be sited within the grounds and is considered to be acceptable.

The proposed conservatory would measure some , with low level dwarf wall, constructed in facing brick to match the building. This would be located to the rear of the building and is considered to be acceptable.

The Commissioners recommend that the application be approved and the Disability Access Officer submits suggestions relating to the garden area and door/gate thresholds which will be considered as part of the Building regulation application.

It is considered that all parties, who submitted comments, with the exception of the following: Disability Access Officer accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore afforded interested party status.
