The property is located near to the entrance of the cul-de-sac on the left side. #### Planning Status The Peel Local Plan, 1989, the site is identified as an area of Predominantly Residential Use. The application site is not located within a Conservation Area. #### Planning History There are no previous planning applications considered relevant to this application. #### The Proposal Planning approval is sought to extend the existing garage footprint and erect a first floor extension above. The new footprint of the garage and first floor extension above would bring it inline with the main building continuing the front and rear elevations. There are no windows proposed for the side elevation that faces north east. ### Representations Peel Town Commissioners have considered this application and recommend approval. The DOT Highways Division ask that a condition be attached to provide three off street parking spaces, including the garage. The MEA attach a note asking the applicant to contact them regarding any underground cables. The Chief Fire Officer comments on the installation of smoke detectors. We have received no privately written representations. ### Assessment The proposal is considered to be appropriate to the existing dwelling and the location and its surroundings. The extension has been designed so that it does not unbalance the facades of the dwelling whilst the scale of the extension is considered acceptable. The loss of the first floor window on the south east elevation of the existing dwelling as a consequence of the extension would in fact reduce any overlooking in this direction towards the neighbouring property. The addition of a first floor window to the front façade is not expected to impact on the property opposite due to the distance and orientation of the dwellings. For these reasons, it is recommended that this planning application be permitted. ### Recommendation It is recommended that the application be permitted. ### Party Status It is considered that all parties that submitted representations accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore afforded interested party status. ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 25.06.2007 ### 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.
