Officer's Report
The Site
The application site represents the curtilage of 11 Brookfield Terrace, Foxdale, two storey, mid terrace property located on the eastern side of the road.
Planning Status
The application site is located within an area identified as being Predominantly Residential Use by the Foxdale Local Plan (Planning Circular 5/99). The site is not within a Conservation Area however the Foxdale Local Plan identifies the Terrace as being "Buildings of Interest" and Policy F/P/RB/2 states: "All of the buildings referred to in paragraphs 8.2-8.8 inclusive must as far as is possible, retain their original features and appearance."
Brookfield Terrace is included in Paragraph 8.4 and as such this policy is relevant to this application.
Planning History
There are no previous planning applications considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application.
Representations
Patrick Parish Commissioners have not commented on this application. The Department of Transport Highways Division has made no comment on this application.
We have received no privately written representations in relation to this planning application.
The Proposal
This application seeks approval for the removal of the render on the front and rear elevations of the property. At present, this property is the only dwelling in the terrace to have render with the rest of the row having retained their original Manx stone.
Assessment
Paragraph 8.4 of the Foxdale Local Plan describes how some of the properties alongside the A3 road, which includes Brookfield Terrace, have been the subject of unsympathetic development, including rendering of the original Manx stone facades. It follows therefore that the removal of the render on this property which would reinstate its original appearance, and the appearance of the rest of the terrace, would represent an improvement. It is therefore recommended that this application be approved.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the application be approved.
Party Status
It is considered that the following parties, who submitted comments, accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore, afforded Interested Party Status:
Patrick Parish Commissioners The Department of Transport Highways Division
