### Officer's Report

THE APPLICATION SITE AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The application site comprises the curtilage of a mid-terrace dwelling located on Royal Avenue in Onchan. The proposed development comprises of the erection of a garage to the rear of the dwelling. PLANNING HISTORY There are no previous planning applications that are considered to be material to the assessment of this current planning application. REPRESENTATIONS Onchan District Commissioners recommend that the planning application be approved. PLANNING POLICY The application site is within an area recognised as being within predominantly residential use under the Onchan Local Plan. Policy O/RES/P/21 of the written statement (Planning Circular 1/2000) that accompanies the Onchan Local Plan states:

"Extensions and alterations to existing residential property will generally not be opposed where such proposals are appropriate in terms of scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property."

## Assessment

It is considered that the overall level of development contained within the proposal is relatively modest and in keeping with the character of the dwelling. As such the proposal does not adversely affect public or private amenity and is therefore in accordance with policy O/RES/P/21 of the Onchan Local Plan.

It is recommended that the planning application be approved.

## Party Status

It is considered that all parties that made representations to the planning application meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status.
