### Officer’s Report

The site represents the curtilage of a recently erected house in the new estate off Moaney Road in Santon. The property is a semi-detached house with attached single storey garage which is set back from the front wall of the house by 3m or so.

Proposed here is the conversion of the garage to living accommodation. Whilst this would result in the loss of parking space behind the building line, there is space for plenty of cars (4) on the driveway and as such I see no reason to oppose this application.

### Recommendation

I confirm that this decision accords with Government Circular No 57/01 (Delegation of Functions to Director of Planning and Building Control).
