The existing dwelling is a large bungalow within large grounds situated on a parcel of land opposite the Grand Island Hotel. There are concurrent planning applications (04/02310/B and 04/02311/B) for large-scale residential development on the Ormly Fields site adjacent to the application site. Consequently, this planning application has been associated and a number of objections relate to the three applications. These objections cover a multitude of issues including concern over traffic impact, service provision in Ramsey, drainage, the density of development, potential overlooking, loss of privacy, loss of view and structural capability of the site to accommodate the proposed development. Ramsey Town Commissioners have no objection to the proposed development and the Department of Transport Highways Division has no objections subject to the imposition of conditions. In terms of land use the application site is zoned within a predominantly residential area and, as such, I consider that the principle of redevelopment is acceptable. The level of development was discussed prior to submission and is also considered to be acceptable. I do not consider that the impact of the development is unacceptable in terms of Vollan Crescent. I recommend that the application be approved. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision : Permitted Date of Recommendation : 02.03.2005 ### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal C : Conditions for approval N : Notes attached to conditions R : Reasons for refusal - : Notes attached to refusals C 1.
