Planning History

The following planning applications are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application:-

Erection of conservatory - 08/01237/B - APPROVED

Alterations and amendments to approved PA05/00859 to erect a dining room extension, car port and creation of window to south elevation - 05/92349/B – APPROVED

Demolition of existing utility room and erection of new dining, utility and garage - 05/00859/B – APPROVED

Erection of a conservatory over existing lower ground floor terrace - 03/01388/B – APPROVED

Proposal

The application seeks approval for the Erection of a conservatory to west elevation. The proposal would have a depth of 5 metres, a width of 2.8 metres and a ridge height of 2.5 metres.

Representations

Ramsey Commissioners:- No objection

The Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the application.

Assessment / Recommendation

The proposed conservation to the western elevation would be fairly well screen from the adjoining public highway, due to the 1.8 to 2 metre high Manx Stone wall which runs along the western boundary of the site. The existing dwelling is fairly modern in appearance and it is therefore considered a conservatory of this size and design would be in keeping with the property.

The proposal would have no adverse impacts upon neighbouring residential amenities, especially upon East Cliff (south of site), given the significant boundary treatment which consists of a 2 metre high grass bank with a 1.8 metre high timber fence and 4 metre high confer hedgerow (approx) on top.

For these reasons the proposal would seem appropriate in this location and therefore it is recommended the application for an approval.

Party Status

It is considered that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:
