Officer's Report

Site

The dwelling Ballachrink Farmhouse, Bride Road, Bride is a two storey detached dormer property, which is located on the western side of the A10 road, and is south of Bride Village.

The boundary treatment along the eastern, southern and western boundaries consists of a 2 metre high wall or hedgerow. Adjacent to the site to the west, consists of a number of large sheds and barns.

Land Use Zoning / Policy

The application site is within an area recognised as being an area of woodland, under the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982. The site is not within a Conservation Area; however the site is within an area zoned as high landscape value.

Proposal

The application proposes to demolish existing extension and erection of a two storey replacement extension to side elevation.

Representations

Highways Division do not object:- The site provides satisfactory parking facilities to provide for the proposed extension.

Bride Parish Commissioners:- Approved

Chief Fire Officer:- Smoke Detection

We have received no privately written representations objecting to the application.

Assessment / recommendation

Consideration needs to be taken to ensure the proposed development would not cause an adverse visual impact to the detriment of surrounding countryside. The proposed extension will certainly improve the appearance of the existing property and would not have an adverse impact upon the countryside, due to, the design, size, height and the significant boundary treatment surrounding the site.

For these reasons the proposal would seem appropriate in this location and therefore my recommendation is for an approval.

I consider that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:

I consider that the following parties that made representations to the planning application do not meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should not be afforded interested party status:
