The dwelling would be a single storey detached two bedroom bungalow, which incorporates a court yard / patio area. The attached double garage, accesses onto the driveway which also includes a turning area / parking area. The access retains the existing driveway which is also shared with The Auburn which leads onto Lezayre Road. As part of a condition in application 03/00669/A the application proposes to increase the existing access and lane to improve visibility onto Lezayre Road. The boundary treatment around the site is to remain, the only additional boundary treatment is a new timber fence which will run along the boundary shared with the neighbouring property The Auburn. ## Representations The Ramsey Commissioners have deferred the application:- *No objections* Highways Division do not oppose, subject to the imposition of the following conditions:- 1. Sight lines of 2 metres by 23 metres shall be provided; and 2. The front boundary wall and gate posts shall be no more than 1 metre in height.

Planning Department (Tel. 687781), to discuss the electricity supply for this application.* We have received no privately written representations objecting to the application. ## Assessment / recommendation Material Planning matters which need to be considered regarding this application include:- (A) Impacts upon the residential amenity Impacts upon the residential amenity I had an initial concern the dwelling would create an adverse impact to the detriment of the residential amenity through overlooking over the neighbouring property, The Oaks, due to the sunroom windows and dining room window on the western elevation of the dwelling. However after visiting the site it became apparent that overlooking from these rooms would be prevented due to the significant boundary treatment which exists and is proposed to be retained. With regard to the neighbouring property The Auburn, due to the two storey and single storey barns located in between the Auburn and the proposed dwelling, I do not believe any adverse impacts will occur. The single storey aspect, size and siting within the site would all be appropriate in this location and therefore my recommendation is for an approval. I consider that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status: The Ramsey Commissioners Highways Division I consider that the following parties that made representations to the planning application do not meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should not be afforded interested party status: Manx Electricity Authority Chief Fire Officer IOM Water Authority ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 25.10.2006 ### 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.
