# Fire Safety Officer Refusal Report

## Department Of Home Affairs
### Isle Of Man Fire And Rescue Service
*Shirveish Mooghey as Sauail Ellan Vannin*
Fire Service Headquarters, Elm Tree House, Elm Tree Road, Onchan, Isle of Man, IM3 4EF

Planning App. No. 05/00547/B
Name & Address of Premises 84 Birch Hill Crescent

Basis of Application Extend existing Porch to provide small sitting area

### Fire Safety Officer'S Report

Recommend refusal as the porch now becomes a habitable room and is the only escape from the property according to the plans. This is now inherently unsafe in the event of a fire in the proposed sitting area as this would block escape from the property

Inspecting Officer John Murtagh Date 6/4/15
Recommend: Approve / Defer / Refusal
