# Officer Planning Report

**Application No.:** 05/00404/B
**Applicant:** Mr Anthony John Minta
**Proposal:** Alterations and relocation of front door from side to front elevation,
**Site Address:** Flat 1 Cronk Wylann The Promenade Port St. Mary ### Considerations Case Officer: Mrs D Brown
**Expected Decision Level:** Committee Decision ### Written Representations ### Consultations Consulttee: Port St Mary Commissioners Notes: no objections Consulttee: Chief Fire Officer Notes: architects to consult with fire safety Consulttee: Department of Transport, Highways Notes: no adverse traffic impact. ### Policy

### Officer's Report

The site relates to Flat 1, Cronk Wyllan, The Promenade, Port St Mary. It is on the ground floor and occupies the lower ground floor of the property accessed off the front garden alongside the front staircase.

The Promenade is a Victorian terrace which despite some window changes and external alterations has retains a striking façade.

It is proposed to erect an extension between the projecting bay and the side of the staircase to form a single entrance to the flat. There are currently two doors, one into the bay and one beneath the staircase.

The extension would have an almost flat roof and would in essence infill the area between the bay and the stairs.

After discussing the proposal with Steve Moore we agree that the proposal would represent an incongruous feature on the front elevation and harm the integrity of terrace as a whole.

### Recommendation

Recommended Decision: Refused

Date of Recommendation: 26.04.2005
