# Planning Officer Report

## Planning Report And Recommendations [Table omitted in markdown export] ## Representations Highways and Traffic Division indicate that they do not oppose the application. ### Assessment The policy in the local plan which states "Within those areas designated and developed for residential purposes, the Department will not generally oppose the principle of alterations and extensions of existing dwellings. Each application will however be judged on its own merits in the light of the appearance of the finished building and its impact on the surrounding area" is similar in implication to General Policy 2 of the Strategic Plan which states: "Development which is in accordance with the land use zoning and proposals in the appropriate Area Plan and with other policies of this Strategic Plan will normally be permitted, provided that the development: a) is in accordance with the design brief in the Area Plan where there is such a brief; b) respects the site and surroundings in terms of the siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping of buildings and the space around them; c) does not affect adversely the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape; d) does not adversely affect the protected wildlife or locally important habitats on the site or adjacent land, including water courses; e) does not affect adversely public views of the sea; f) incorporates where possible existing topography and landscape features, particularly trees and sod banks; g) does not affect adversely the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality; h) provides satisfactory amenity standards in itself, including where appropriate safe and convenient access for all highway users, together with adequate parking, servicing and manoeuvring space; i) does not have an adverse effect on road safety or traffic flows on the local highways; j)can be provided with all necessary services; k) does not prejudice the use or development of adjoining land in accordance with the appropriate Area Plan; I) is not on contaminated land or subject to unreasonable risk of erosion or flooding; m) takes account of community and personal safety and security in the design of buildings and the spaces around them; and n) is designed having due regard to best practice in reducing energy consumption." In this case the proposed amendment to the approved scheme adds only slightly to the amount of decking and will not add to the opportunity for overlooking of the adjacent property. ### 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. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 14.06.2010
