Officer’s Report
1.0 THE APPLICATION SITE 1.1 The site represents the curtilage of 69 Parliament Street Ramsey, which is mid terraced traditional property, located on the southern side of Parliament Street. To the rear of the site is a access lane which provided vehicle/pedestrian access to the site.
2.0 THE PROPOSAL 2.1 This application seeks approval for the erection of a replacement storage building with associated roller shutter door. The existing lean to roofed outbuilding are proposed to be replaced on the same footprint, albeit with a flat roof design, carrying on the existing parapet wall from the neighbouring property along the southern elevation of the new store room.
3.0 PLANNING HISTORY 3.1 There are previous planning applications associated with the site; however, none are considered relevant in the determination of this application.
4.0 PLANNING POLICY 4.1 The site lies within an area zoned as "Mixed Use" under the Ramsey Local Plan. The property isn't within a Conservation Area.
4.2 In terms of the Strategic Plan (2016), General Policy 2 (GP2) is the most relevant and states in part, "Development which is in accordance with the land-use zoning and proposals in the appropriate Area Plan and with other policies of this Strategic Plan will normally be permitted, provided that the development: (b) respects the site and surroundings in terms of the siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping of buildings and the spaces around them; (c) does not affect adversely the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape; (g) does not affect adversely the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality;
5.0 REPRESENTATIONS 5.1 Ramsey Commissioners do not object (17.02.2022).
5.2 Highway Services have no objection (13.01.2022 & 17.02.2022).
5.3 Flood Management Division (DOI) initially sought a Flood Risk Assessment (11.01.2022). However, additional information has been provided and now the FMD have no objection (22.02.22).
6.0 ASSESSMENT 6.1 The main issues to consider in the assessment of this planning application are;
CHARACTER AND APPEARANCE 6.2 In this case the proportion, form, scale, finish and design are consider appropriate. The flat roof design can cause issue; however in this case the parapet wall design which runs along the rear elevation, continuing the existing designed wall of neighbouring property would be acceptable in this case.
NEIGHBOURING AMENITY 6.3 It is not considered the proposal would have any significantly greater impact to neighbouring amenities to warrant a refusal.
7.0 CONCLUSION
