The site accommodates an existing dwelling and two outbuildings, one to the north and the other to the south. #### Planning Status The site lies within an area designated as Low Density Housing in Parkland with Woodland to the east on the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982. #### Planning History The following applications have been submitted in respect of this site: - PA 89/1993 - extension to barn - permitted - PA 93/1422 - creation of new gateway and driveway - permitted - PA 00/1168 - erection of a conservatory - refused - PA 00/1948 - erection of a conservatory - permitted and PA 06/1244 - replacement of windows - permitted. ### The Proposal Now proposed is an extension to the existing garage block to provide an additional garage. This will replace an existing lean to garage building. the new garage will be slightly taller and neater than the existing structure. ### Assessment The new building will be newer and will appear as a continuation of the existing block. There is no adverse visual impact from the proposal and the new building will be more useful by virtue of slightly larger internal dimensions. The extension is not immediately alongside the road and will not be visible therefrom. ### Party Status 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 despite the former not submitting views in this case. Whilst Manx Electricity Authority represents a statutory authority, the points raised in correspondence relate to working practices and not planning matters and as such should not be afforded party status in this instance. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 20.09.2006 ### 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.
