In summary the changes are as follows: #### Block A: - changes to the window opening and style - Minor change in the roof design - Use of pitched roof dormers instead of flat roof dormers - Removal of the first floor balconies. Block B: - changes to the window opening and style - Minor change in the roof design - Increase in height of the MEA sub-station. Block C: - changes to the window opening and style - Minor change in the roof design - Use of pitched roof dormers instead of flat roof dormers - Minor changes to the main entrances to the buildings The internal alterations involve the provision of a communal bin store and the re-arrangement of the internal layout of the flats. I consider the proposed external alteration will not adversely affect the visual amenities of the street scene. 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 and IoM Water Authority 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. The Disability Access Office has raised issues relating non-planning matters and as such should not be afforded party status. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 27.07.2007 ### 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.
