To the west of the site are the properties 1 and 2 Ballavargher Cottages. To the south is the detached property Broogh-ny-Howin. The sewage treatment works are to the north of the site. The northern boundary of the site is bounded by a river. #### The Proposal This application seeks approval for the alteration of the existing dwelling, the erection of an extension and the conversion of the existing garage to provide additional living accommodation. #### Planning Status The application site is located within an area identified as being residential use by the St Johns Local Plan. Within the Isle of Man Strategic Plan, the following policy is considered relevant: 1 June 2009 General Policy 2. **PLANNING HISTORY** The following previous planning applications are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application: - 05/00412/A sought approval in principle to erect an extension to the existing dwelling to provide living accommodation with a separate entrance. This was approved. - 05/01469/REM sought approval for Reserved Matters for the erection of an extension to existing dwelling to provide living accommodation with separate entrance. This was approved. **REPRESENTATIONS** The Department of Transport Drainage Division does not object to this application subject to conditions. The Department of Transport Highways Division does not object to this application following the submission of a plan showing that sufficient off-street parking provision is available within the site. Patrick Parish Commissioners have made no comment on this application. There have been no privately written representations received in relation to this application. **ASSESSMENT** The main issues to be considered in the assessment of this application are the impact of the proposed development upon the existing property, adjacent properties and the surrounding area in general. The proposed alterations and extensions are relatively minor in scale and due to the position of the site and existing screening the proposed works would not be visible from the public highway. Notwithstanding this, the proposed alterations and extension are considered to be in-keeping with the design of the existing dwelling. The proposed works would not bring the existing dwelling closer to adjacent properties and as such would not result in an adverse impact upon the amenity of neighbouring properties. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the site can accommodate at least 4 cars within the curtilage and as such the proposed development would not result in on street parking. **RECOMMENDATION** Permit. ## **PARTY STATUS** It is considered that the following parties, who submitted comments, accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore, afforded Interested Party Status: - The Department of Transport Drainage Division - The Department of Transport Highways Division - Patrick Parish Commissioners **Recommendation** **Recommended Decision:** Permitted **Date of Recommendation:** 01.06.2009 1 June 2009 ## 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.
