Officer's Report
The Site
The application site represents the curtilage of the detached property Fo-Glion, Glen Rushen Road, Glen Maye. The dwelling is situated on the south west side of the road.
Planning Status
The application site is located within an area identified as being High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance by the 1982 Development Order.
Planning History
There are no previous planning applications considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application.
Representations
The Department of Transport Highways Division does not object to this proposal. Patrick Parish Commissioners do not object to this application.
We have received no privately written representations in relation to this planning application.
The Proposal
This application seeks approval for the installation of roof dormers and a balcony to the rear elevation of the property. The dormers would have projecting gables with the larger of the two having an attached balcony. An additional bedroom would be created in part of the roof space of the dwelling.
Assessment
The application is relatively minor in terms of scale and associated impact. It is judged that the dormers would be in-keeping with the style of the property and would act to break up the expanse of roof. The location of the property and the lack of nearby neighbours would ensure that there would be no issues of overlooking resulting from the proposed development. The property provides 2 off street parking spaces in compliance with the relevant parking standard set out within Appendix 7 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
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:
