The site is located on the northern side of the Little Meadow and northeast of Andreas Village. **Land Use Zoning** The site has been zoned under the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982 as being within an area of 'Predominately Residential'; the site is not within a Conservation Area, nor within an area of High Landscape Value or Costal Value and Scenic Significance. **Planning History** There are no previous planning applications which are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application Proposal The application seeks approval for alterations, installation of replacement windows and erection of extensions. The proposal includes the erection of a first floor extension over the existing garage. Additionally, the application includes the erection of a two storey extension to the side/rear. Representations Highways Division:- Do not oppose The Drainage Division request that an informative note be attached to any approval decision notice. We have received no privately written representations objecting to the application. Assessment / recommendation The proposed extension is a common type of extension which can be found on a number of similar housing estates on the Island. Starting with the proposed design the proposal would be in keeping with the existing property and that of the street scene, and therefore is acceptable from this aspect. Consideration needs to be taken to ensure the proposal would not result in any adverse impacts upon the neighbouring residential property Nr 18 Little Meadow which is located to the west of the application site. There are windows within the eastern elevation of Nr 18, however none of these a windows provide light to primary habitable rooms (garage, utility room & landing) and therefore it is not considered the proposal would have a significant impact upon Nr through loss of light. Additionally, the orientation between the properties would result in possibly only direct sun light in the early morning being reduced. There would be no overlooking resulting from the extensions, nor is it considered the proposal would result in an overbearing impact. For these reasons the proposals would seem appropriate in these locations and therefore my recommendation is for an approval.
