Alterations to the existing farmhouse were also approved (05/92151). #### The Proposal Proposed here is the installation of a dormer on the western side of the stone courtyard, alongside three previously approved dormers. The dormer will straddle the pitch of the adjoining building which runs at 90 degrees. The dormer effectively joins the roofs of both buildings. The dormer has glass sides and a flat roof to match the approved ones in this roof. ### Representations There are no representations on the file. ### Assessment The dormer is not unattractive and will not adversely affect the building, whose appearance will be changed through the works associated with the conversion of the building to tourist accommodation. ### Party Status As there are no views on the file, Department of Transport and Santon Parish Commissioners may be granted party status as they are statutory consultees. ### Recommendation **Recommended Decision:** Permitted **Date of Recommendation:** 27.02.2006 ### 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.
