This conservatory is finished with glazed hipped roof above. 2.0 THE PROPOSAL - 2.1 The current application proposes the replacement of the conservatory roof with lightweight solid roof tiles finished in a 'shingle' dark brown colour to match the tiles of the existing house. 3.0 PLANNING HISTORY - 3.1 The existing rear conservatory was approved under PA 07/01401/B. 4.0 PLANNING POLICY - 4.1 The application site is in an area designated as "predominantly residential" under the Kirk Michael Local Plan. - 4.2 In terms of policy it is important to consider General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 in the assessment of this application. - 4.3 General Policy 2 states (in part): "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: - 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; g) does not affect adversely the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality; - n) is designed having due regard to best practice in reducing energy consumption." 5.0 REPRESENTATIONS Copies of representations received can be viewed on the government's website. This report contains summaries only. - 5.1 Michael Commissioners - No objection (11/12/2018) 5.2 Department of Infrastructure (DOI) Highways Division o NHI - No highways interest (dated 03/12/2018) - 5.3 Neighbours' views o No comments received. 6.0 ASSESSMENT - 6.1 The proposed roof tiles would be similar in appearance to those on the main dwelling and are likely to provide a constant and unbroken appearance throughout the rear elevation enhancing the overall appearance of the rear elevation. It is unlikely that the development will result in any visual harm from a public perspective from the public footpath of the Dismantled Railway or to cause any impacts on the general character of the existing property. - 6.2 Overall it is expected that the new roof system will provide the conservatory with a better thermal quality and a more comfortable internal environment throughout both the summer and winter months. It's likely that the energy efficiency of the conservatory will improve. 7.0 CONCLUSION - 7.1 For the above reasons the proposal is considered to comply with GP2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 and therefore recommended for 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.
