# Officer Planning Report

## Planning Report And Recommendations [Table omitted in markdown export] [Table omitted in markdown export] [Table omitted in markdown export] [Table omitted in markdown export] ### Considerations [Table omitted in markdown export] ### Written Representations ### Consultations

### Officer's Report

The proposed extension is an infill between the existing kitchen outrigger and the neighbour's outrigger. The extension does not project beyond the neighbour's outrigger. I consider the proposal will not impact on the occupiers of the neighbouring property of No.11 Murrays Road. The other alteration to the property are relative minor and do not adversely affect the visual amenities of the street scene as they are to the rear of the property.

The DoT do not oppose the subject to the imposition of the following condition: The vehicular access to the rear shall not be closed off such that it may be used as an off-street parking space in the absence of the garage. The applicant has confirmed that his intention is to knock down the garage and install a gate in the old garage position to give car parking access into the garden. No details of the gate have been submitted. I therefore recommend that details of the gate be provided to ensure that they are acceptable.

I therefore recommend that planning permission be granted subject to conditions.

## 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.

Whilst IoM Fire and Rescue Service 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.
