The window arrangement in the elevation facing towards the rear garden is to be slightly changed with two sets of windows rather than one. The driveway would accommodate at least a further three cars one behind the other. ### Representations Malew Parish Commissioners and Department of Transport Highways and Traffic Division both indicate that they have no objection to the application. ### Assessment The proposal represents a very minor alteration to the approved garage, and the proposed changes will not affect its function or its appearance from either public or neighbouring views. As such the application is considered to be acceptable. ### Party Status The Department of Transport and the local authority are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status. ## Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 13.11.2009 ### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal ### C : Conditions for approval
