# 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 canopy is set on the side elevation of the school building, which is adjacent to a public footpath. The canopy will be visible from the footpath. The canopy is modest in size. I do not feel the proposal will adversely affect the visual amenities of the locality. 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.
