Officer's Report

Site The site represents the curtilage of St Georges Mill, Glen Road, Laxey, which consists of a large two storey, detached property. The site is located on the eastern side of Glen Road

Land Use Zoning The site has been zoned under the Laxey and Lonan Local Plan as being within an area of Light Industrial Use, the site is also within a Conservation Area.

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

Proposal The application seeks approval for alterations and re tilling roof. Representations

Laxey Commissioners:- <br> No objection

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

Assessment / recommendation

The proposed works are very modest and will be beneficial to the appearance of the existing building and upon the visual appearance of the Conservation Area. The Conservation Officer has no objections. For these reasons the proposal would be appropriate in this location and therefore my recommendation is for an approval.
