The property is a detached dwelling located in an established residential area. #### The Proposal The applicant proposes a single storey extension to form a dining room. The extension will have a width of 3.6 metres, depth of 2.7 metres and a maximum height of 5 metres. #### Planning Status The application site is located in an area identified as 'Predominantly Residential in the Isle of Man Development Plan 1982. The Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 contains policies which are considered specifically material to the determination of the application – General Policy 2. General Policy 2 states the following: "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 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 adversely affect 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 local highways; j) can be provided with all the necessary services; k) does not prejudice the use or development of adjoining land in accordance with the appropriate Area Plan; I) is not on contaminated land or subject to unreasonable risk or 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." Paragraph 8.12.1 states the following: "As a general policy, in built up areas not controlled by Conservation Area or Registered Building policies, there will be a general presumption in favour of extensions to existing property where such extensions would have an adverse impact on either adjacent property of the surrounding area in general." ## Planning History There have been no recent planning applications submitted which are considered relevant in the determination of the application. ### Representations Marown Parish Commissioners have raised no objection to the proposed development. Department of Transport have raised no objection to the proposed development. ### Assessment The application site is located within a 'Predominantly Residential Area' in the Isle of Man Development Plan 1982. Given the nature of the proposed development it is therefore appropriate to assess the proposal against the policy identified earlier within the report (i.e. General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007). Having assessed the proposed development against the above, it is concluded that the proposal is acceptable by reason of its size, siting, scale, form and design. The proposal would be a modest addition and considered to sit comfortably with the rear elevation of the property. It is considered that the proposed development will not have a detrimental impact on neighbouring dwellings. The extension will maintain a distance of approximately 6 metres to the boundary line of neighbouring dwelling no. 15 Glen Vine Park. A footpath separates the two properties and there is a high hedge and wooden wall to the rear of the subject property. The proposed extension will not be highly visible from No. 19 Glen Vine Park due to the attached flat roof garage; only the roof and high level window will be viewable. The proposed development does not have any traffic management, parking or road safety implications and therefore the Department of Transport has raised no objection to the proposed development. In conclusion it is considered that the proposed development is acceptable. The extensions will be in character with the existing property and will not have a detrimental on the surrounding area or neighbouring properties. It is therefore recommended that the application be approved subject to conditions. **RECOMMENDATION** For these reasons the proposal is considered acceptable and it is recommended that the planning application be permitted. **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: - Marown Parish Commissioners - Department of Transport **Recommendation** **Recommended Decision:** Permitted **Date of Recommendation:** 04.03.2010 **Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal** - **C : Conditions for approval** - **N : Notes attached to conditions** - **R : Reasons for refusal** - **O : Notes attached to refusals** ## **C 1.** The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice. ## **C 2.** This approval relates to the submitted Drawing Nos. 4287/L1, 4287/S1, 4287/P1 received on 6th January, 2010.
