The application site represents the curtilage of the detached property Ballacoraige House, Cronk Road, Ballaugh. The property is situated on the western side of the road.
The application site is located within an area identified as being of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance by the 1982 Development Order.
The following previous planning applications are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application:
Planning application 05/01548/B sought approval for alterations, the erection of a garage and a two storey extension and the creation of a vehicular access. This application was refused at appeal.
Planning application 07/01321/B sought approval for alterations, the erection of a garage and a two storey extension and the creation of a vehicular access. This application was approved.
The Department of Transport Highways Division Do not oppose subject to a condition relating to parking provision.
Ballaugh Parish Commissioners do not object to this application. The Manx Electricity Authority has commented on this application in relation to matters which are not material planning considerations.
The Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service has commented on this application in relation to Building Control issues.
We have received no privately written representations in relation to this planning application.
This application seeks approval for alterations, the erection of an extension and the erection of a garage. The application proposes a similar scheme to that approved under 07/01321/B. The garage would approximately 2.4 metres in length, slightly shorter than the previously approved garage which was 2.6 metres. There would be a flat roof extension connecting the dwelling and the garage which would provide a utility room. A ground floor window to the rear of the property would be widened.
The proposal is marginally different to the previously approved scheme and there have been no changes in policy since that approval. The flat roof extension is of a small scale and would not be viewed from the highway. Indeed the proposed development would be confined to the rear elevation and the alterations would not have an adverse impact upon the existing dwelling or to the adjacent property, "Dreemskerry". It is concluded that the application is acceptable and accordingly it is recommended that this development be permitted.
It is recommended that the application be approved.
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:
The Department of Transport Highways Division. Ballaugh Parish Commissioners. Accordingly the following parties are not granted Interested Party Status: The Manx Electricity Authority. The Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service
