As this proposal stands the Division would object to this application on the grounds that the proposed extension will restrict access and could have a detrimental affect on the public sewer. The Division is concerned about the route of this sewer (please see attached plan) and discussions have been entered into with the applicant and their agent to reduce the size of the proposed extension. Therefore the Drainage Division of the Department of Transport requests that any decision on this planning application be deferred until such time as a amended plan has been received. The Division will contact the Planning Committee with its formal comments as soon as this information is at hand. ### Officer's Report The proposal is set to the rear of the property. The conservatory is not visible from the street scene. I do not feel the proposal will cause any significant harm to the visual amenities of the street scene. In respect of the impact on No.14, the proposal is set to the north west of the neighbouring property. The proposal will be set off the boundary by approximately 400mm. The conservatory will project 1m beyond the rear building line of the neighbouring properties single storey structure. I therefore do not consider the proposal will cause any significant harm to the occupiers of No.21 from overlooking or overshadowing. Impact on No.12 Slieau Whallian, the application site is set to the south east of the neighbouring property. The proposed conservatory will abut the boundary of the neighbouring property. The conservatory will project 3m beyond the rear building line of the neighbouring property. The nearest habitable window is set 2m off the boundary. The conservatory will be set on the north east facing elevation of the property. Due to the orientation of the site, I do not consider the proposal will I will cause any significant harm to the occupiers of No.12 from overshadowing or loss of light. The applicant has indicated that the side elevation of the conservatory will be obscure glazed so as to cause any impact from overlooking to the occupiers of the neighbouring property. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 14.08.2006 ### 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.
