Officer's Report

Site The site represents the curtilage of Balleigh Cottage, Jurby Road, Lezayre, Ramsey, which is a two storey attached property, located on the northern side of the Jurby Road.

Land Use Zoning The application site is within an area recognised as being an area of 'woodland' not zoned for development, under the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982. The site is not within a Conservation Area or within an area zoned as High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance.

Planning History There are no previous planning applications which are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application.

Proposal

The application proposes the construction of a first floor extension over existing rear kitchen extension and installation of replacement windows.

Representations

Lezayre Parish Commissioners:-

No objection

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

Assessment / recommendation

The application forms into two parts, the first being the first floor extension which has been designed to be in keeping with the traditional appearance of the existing property which is a traditional Manx property. The size and design would therefore comply with Planning Circular 3/91. The second aspect is the replacement windows to the north, south and west elevations of the dwelling. These again would be acceptable, as the property is not within a Conservation Area nor is the building a Registered building.

Party Status

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

Highways Division Ramsey Commissioners
