The site accommodates an existing terraced dwelling. #### Planning Status The site lies within an area designated on the 1982p as Predominantly Shopping and on the draft Port St. Mary Area Plan as Mixed Use. #### Planning History Two applications have been submitted previously in respect of this site: PA 996/1213 proposed internal and external alterations and was permitted and
PA 05/2004 proposed the change of use of the ground floor retail/commercial to residential use and was also permitted. ## The Proposal Proposed now is the replacement of an existing shop front and large window with a smaller scale sliding sash window together with the replacement of the upper floor windows with the same timber framed sliding sashes. The existing dormer window is to be repaired. The works will involve building up the walling around the new, smaller window. ## Assessment Whilst the proposals will change the appearance of the property and it will become residential rather than commercial, this change in use has already been sanctioned under the earlier application and the finished appearance of the property is not objectionable nor will it be out of keeping in the streetsce. ## Party Status Port St. Mary Commissioners and Department of Transport The Department of Transport and the local authority are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status. Disability Access Officer represents a statutory authority, the points raised in correspondence relate to Building Control matters and not planning and as such should not be afforded party status in this instance. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 17.10.2006 ### 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.
