The site accommodates a detached dwelling with garage and side garden/yard. To the rear (north) is the Southern Elderly Persons' Complex (Southlands): to the east is a smithy and across the road to the south is existing residential accommodation. #### Planning Status The site lies within an area of Open Space on the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982 and as Residential use on the draft Port St. Mary Area Plan (2001). #### Planning History The following applications have been submitted in respect of the site: PA 85/0689 - alterations to roof to give increased height to first floor bathroom and bedroom - permitted PA 91/0444 - construction of rear kitchen extension - permitted PA 99/1078 - extension to dwelling including double garage - permitted. #### The Proposal Now proposed is the replacement of the existing ground floor windows. The windows are presently plastic framed bow windows on the ground floor with bottom three fifths opening casements and fixed top light in the upper two windows.
