### Officer's Report

The application seeks approval for the erection of a conservatory at first floor level on the rear elevation of the Elim Church in Princes Road, Ramsey.

I consider that the actual impact of the proposal would be limited as it only overlooks the back lane and rear of some properties. Nevertheless I suggest that it is appropriate to condition obscured glazing to limit the impact on the residential dwellings. Apart from that I cannot see any reason why the application should be refused.

Whilst not a material planning consideration I have doubts regarding the actual viability of the proposal. I have discussed the proposal with Building Control who advised that the structural alterations would need to be extensive, probably expensive and require Building Regulations approval.

I recommend that the application be approved.
