The neighbouring property 10 Alberta Drive has a difference of ground level of 0.4 metres lower than the applicant property. The boundary treatment between the two properties consists of a 0.5 metre high fence. The gap from the boundary to 10 Alberta Drive is 3 metres. The dwelling (10) has a three ground floor windows, a landing window, an attic window and two doors on its gable end (see photo 1). The proposed single storey side extension has a side projection from the existing gable end wall of 3.02 metres, which leaves a 0.15 metre gap to the neighbouring boundary. The extension is proposing to have a flat roof and will have a maximum height of 3 metres (a fake 35 degree pitch roof to front of extension). The rear extension which is connected to the side extension has a rear projection of 3.02 metres and a width of 5.35 metres. The extension will have a slight lean to polycarbononate roof. The rear extension will leave a gap of 4.2 metres to the boundary with 14 Alberta Drive. The boundary treatment consists of a 2 metre high wall which reduces to a 1.8 metre high wall (see photo 2) and 3 metre high bushes. Onchan District Commissioners and Department of Transport have both considered the application and neither have no objection. We have not received any private consultation. The proposal would seem appropriate in this location as I do not believe that the extension will have a detrimental impact on the neighbouring properties especially 10 Alberta Drive due to the distance between the proposed extension and due to the fact that none of the windows on the side elevation are primary windows. Considered the possibility of making a condition for obscure glazing on the North West elevation of the dining room but due to the boundary treatment I do not think it is necessary. Due to the above my recommendation is for an approval. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 02.11.2005 ### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal C : Conditions for approval N : Notes attached to conditions R : Reasons for refusal - : Notes attached to refusals C 1.
