### Officer's Report

### The Site

The site represents the residential curtilage of an existing dwelling which is situated on the eastern side of Bay View Road, fronting onto Shore Road. The property is one of three terraced Manx cottages which are relatively unspoiled other than for a row of rooflights across the terrace which dominate the roofscape. The cottages front onto the harbour. Shore Road is part of the Raad ny Foillan long distance footpath.

### Planning Status

The site lies within an area designated on the Town and Country Planning (Development Plan) Order 1982 and draft Southern Area Plan which was published on 23rd October, 2009 as Residential.

All the windows are on the front elevation.

## Representations

Port St. Mary Commissioners indicate that they do not oppose the application.

### Assessment

The property is a traditional one, albeit it slightly spoiled by the large rooflights. However, the proposed style of windows replicate the existing and are appropriate for the character and style of the building. The property lies within a proposed Conservation Area where such windows would be acceptable, under the provisions of Planning Circular 1/98 which talks about the opening style but not the material of the frame.

### Party Status

The local authority is, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (d), considered an "interested person" and as such should be afforded party status.
