The site is not within a Conservation Area. - 2.2 Due to the zoning of the site and the proposed works the following policies are relevant in the determination of the application:- - 2.3 General Policy 2 states: "Development which is in accordance with the land-use zoning and proposals in the appropriate Area Plan and with other policies of this Strategic Plan will normally be permitted, provided that the development: - (a) is in accordance with the design brief in the Area Plan where there is such a brief; - (b) respects the site and surroundings in terms of the siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping of buildings and the spaces around them; - (c) does not affect adversely the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape; - (d) does not adversely affect the protected wildlife or locally important habitats on the site or adjacent land, including water courses; - (e) does not affect adversely public views of the sea; - (f) incorporates where possible existing topography and landscape features, particularly trees and sod banks; - (g) does not affect adversely the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality; - (h) provides satisfactory amenity standards in itself, including where appropriate safe and convenient access for all highway users, together with adequate parking, servicing and manoeuvring space; - (i) does not have an unacceptable effect on road safety or traffic flows on the local highways; - (j) can be provided with all necessary services; - (k) does not prejudice the use or development of adjoining land in accordance with the appropriate Area Plan; - (l) is not on contaminated land or subject to unreasonable risk of erosion or flooding; - (m) takes account of community and personal safety and security in the design of buildings and the spaces around them; and - (n) is designed having due regard to best practice in reducing energy consumption." 3.0 PLANNING HISTORY - 3.1 There are no previous planning applications associated with the property which are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application. 4.0 PROPOSAL 4.1 The application seeks approval for the replacement of existing glazed conservatory roof with light weight roof tiles. 5.0 REPRESENTATIONS - 5.1 Highway Services comment there are no highway implications (22.07.2019). 6.0 ASSESSMENT - 6.1 The principal issues relate to the potential impact upon neighbouring amenities (overlooking, loss of light and/or overbearing impact) by the development and the potential visual impacts upon the amenities of the street scene. - 6.2 Regarding to the re-roofing of the conservatory roof it is considered to be an appropriate form of development which would have no significant impacts upon the amenities of the occupants of the neighbouring properties. 6.3 In relation to the potential visual impact upon the street scene, the proposal would not be especially apparent from the adjacent highway, given its location to the rear of the dwelling; however, the proposal would be arguably more in keeping than the existing dwelling. - 6.4 Overall, it is considered that the overall level of development contained within the proposal is relatively modest and in keeping with the character of the dwelling, with suitably limited impact on the neighbouring properties. As such the proposal does not adversely affect public or private amenity and is therefore in accordance with Kirk Michael Local Plan and General Policy 2 of the IOM Strategic Plan. 7.0 CONCLUSION - 7.1 For these reasons the proposal is considered to comply with the relevant polices of the Strategic Plan and the Douglas Local Plan and therefore recommended for an approval. 8.0 INTERESTED PERSON STATUS - 8.1 By virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No 2) Order 2013 (Article 6(4), the following persons are automatically interested persons: - (a) The applicant, or if there is one, the applicant's agent; - (b) The owner and the occupier of any land that is the subject of the application or any other person in whose interest the land becomes vested; - (c) Any Government Department that has made written submissions relating to planning considerations with respect to the application that the Department considers material - (d) Highway Services Division of Department of Infrastructure and - (e) The local authority in whose district the land the subject of the application is situated. 8.2 The decision maker must determine: - o whether any other comments from Government Departments (other than the Department of Infrastructure Highway Services Division) are material; and o whether there are other persons to those listed in Article 6(4) who should be given Interested Person Status.
