Officer's Report

Site

The application site is Rose Cottage, Loop Road, West Craig, the property is located on the western side of the Loop Road which is access onto the western side of the A13 road.

Land Use Zoning

The site has been zoned under the Sulby Local Plan Order 1998 as being within an area of 'woodland'; the site is not within a Conservation Area or within an area of high landscape value or costal value and scenic significance.

Conversion of existing garage/workshop into living accommodation and construction of new garage (91/00557/B) – approved

Extensions and alterations to provide additional living space and attached double garage (87/01317/B) – approved

Proposal

The application proposes alterations and erection of extensions to the northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest elevations.

Representations

Lezayre Parish Commissioners:- Approve

Highways Division have no objection subject to the imposition of the following conditions:- Four no. off street parking spaces shall be provided within the curtilage of the dwelling.

The Chief Fire Officer makes no comment on the merit of the proposed development but request that an informative note be attached to any approval decision notice.

The Planning Authority has not received any private representations objecting to the application.

Assessment / recommendation

The site is very well screened from the public highway due to the significant boundary treatment around the site (see photos). Due to this the proposed extension would not be seen. The extension themselves are modest in size and are in keeping with the existing dwelling.

Recommendation

For these reasons the proposals would seem appropriate in these locations 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:
