### Officer's Report

#### The Site

The site represents the domestic curtilage of an existing residential property which sits on the western side of Castle Street, within Peel's Conservation Area. The site is designated as Mixed Use and is used as a residential property.

#### Planning History

Previously this applicant applied for permission for alterations and extensions at the rear (PA 03/1400). This was refused for reasons relating to the appearance of the flat roof and the removal of

the pitched roof but comments were made by both the Inspector and the Minister, who upheld the Inspector's recommendation to refuse the rear alterations, suggested that the principle of a two storey extension at the rear would not be unacceptable.

The applicant has since been in to discuss alternative schemes with the Planning Officer who has consulted the Conservation Officer, resulting in this application.

### The Proposal

The application now proposes a pitched roofed extension with a balcony in front. The appearance is much improved from the last one and does not fail on these grounds. The proposal is not unneighbourly and will provide additional space for this limited property without compromising the appearance of the building or the Area.

### Representations

Peel Commissioners raise no objection.

Fire Prevention Officer recommends the attachment of a note regarding domestic smoke detection (SN16).

### Recommendation

Recommended Decision: Permitted

Date of Recommendation: 09.02.2006
