### Officer's Report

### The Site

The application site relates to the detached property Moorhouse, Handleys Corner, Kirk Michael.

### The Proposal

This application seeks approval for the erection of an entrance porch to replace an existing conservatory on the southern elevation. The porch would have a traditional appearance which would match the existing dwelling.

### Planning Status

### Planning History

The following previous planning applications are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application:

Michael Commissioners do not object to this application.

## Assessment

The existing conservatory is a non traditional addition to the property. The proposed porch would have a traditional design and would be in-keeping with the existing dwelling. It is judged that the proposal would improve the appearance of the existing property.

### Recommendation
