Officer's Report

The Site

The site represents the curtilage of a disused barn located at Little Ballabunt, Cooil Road, Braddan.

Planning Status

The site is located within an area identified by the Braddan Parish District Plan (Central) as 'Open Space (Agricultural)'.

Planning History

Planning application 06/02085/B sought permission to convert the barn in to a residential dwelling and make alterations to the existing vehicular access. This was permitted on the 19th March 2007.

The Proposal

This proposal seeks permission to make amendments to this approved application. The changes consist of the addition of two windows to the rear elevation and the siting of an oil tank.

Representations

The Department of Transport Highways Division and Braddan Parish Commissioners make no comment on this application.

Assessment

The additional windows proposed are to be located on the rear elevation, one at ground level and one at first floor level. These are the same size as two other proposed windows indicated on the approved application. They are relatively small and although they do not use existing window openings, they are of a size considered acceptable and will not undermine the structural integrity of the wall.

The proposed siting of an oil tank is to the south west elevation of the barn. It is considered that there is adequate screening in place to reduce any visual impact from the public highway and from the existing dwelling on the site.

Overall these amendments are considered to be of a relatively minor scale and as such will not significantly impact on public or private amenity.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this proposal be permitted.

Party Status

It is considered that the following parties accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore, afforded interested party status:

The Department of Transport Highways Division Braddan Parish Commissioners
