THE APPLICATION SITE AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The application site comprises the curtilage of a detached dwelling located on Ashley Road in Onchan. The proposed development comprises of the erection of a first floor extension onto the existing dwelling. PLANNING HISTORY
The application site has been the subject of one previous planning application that is considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application:
Planning application 07/00328/B sought approval for the erection of a first floor extension on existing bungalow to provide additional living accommodation. This previous planning application was considered and approved on the 2nd May 2007, with the approval decision notice issued on the 10th May 2007.
REPRESENTATIONS Onchan District Commissioners have no objection to the planning application. PLANNING POLICY
Under the Onchan Local Plan the application site is located within a wider area of land that is designated as open space. Given that it is an existing dwelling it is considered reasonable to classify the property as a dwelling in the countryside, albeit one that is located adjacent to the edge of the urban part of Onchan.
In terms of strategic plan policy, although the Isle of Man Strategic Plan contains policies identifying general planning considerations that are applicable to the assessment of a planning application it is considered that there are no specific policies within the plan that are material to the assessment of this current planning application.
The planning application seeks approval for the erection of a first floor extension onto the existing dwelling. The proposal is basically a revision of the development permitted by previous planning application 07/00328/B, comprising of changes to fenestration.
Given the history of the application site the proposed development is considered acceptable. It is recommended that the planning application be approved, subject to the same conditions as previous planning application 07/00328/B.
It is considered that the following parties that made representations to the planning application meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:
Onchan District Commissioners.
