The side lean-to roofed extension would have a side projection of 2.85 metres leaving a minimum gap to the boundary with 26 Port E Chee Avenue of 0.1 metre. The extension would be setback from the front wall of the dwelling by 1 metre, and would subsequently have a rear projection from that point of 6.7 metres. The rear pitched roofed extension would have a rear projection from the existing rear wall of the dwelling of 5.9 metres, a width of 4.85 metres and a maximum height of 3.5 metres. To provide two off road parking provisions the applicant has submitted a revised plan indicating minor alterations to the front steps of the dwelling. ## Representations Douglas Corporation Drainage have no objection:- - Note: It should be noted that it is an offence under Manx legislation to permit the discharge of polluting or harmful matter to any public sewers or watercourses. Appropriate measures must be taken by the developer / occupier of the premises to ensure compliance with the legislation. There must be NO discharge of surface water (directly or indirectly) from this proposed development to any foul drainage system(s) so as to comply with the requirements of the Department of Transport Drainage Division and the Sewerage Act 1999. Highways Division, have objected no the following grounds:- - The proposed development reduces the availability of off street parking at a location where on street parking causes road congestion. We have received no privately written representations objecting to the application. ## Assessment / recommendation The proposed extensions would all seem to be acceptable in these locations and would not cause any adverse impacts to the detriment of the residential amenity of the neighbouring properties. Initial concerns of the lack of parking provisions, which was highlighted by the Highways Division, however after writing to the Agent, we have subsequently received a revised plan showing adequate provision for two off road parking provisions which would be required for the dwelling. For these reasons the proposals would seem appropriate in these locations and therefore my recommendation is for an approval. I consider that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:- ## Recommendation **Recommended Decision:** Permitted **Date of Recommendation:** 04.07.2006 ### 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.
