The property is located on the southern side of Mines Road. ### Planning Status Planning Circular 5/99, The Foxdale Local Plan 1999, identifies the application site as an area of Predominantly Residential Use. The application site is not located within a Conservation Area. ### Planning History Planning application 02/01359/B sought permission for alterations and extension to the dwelling. This was permitted on the 12th December 2002. ### The Proposal Planning approval is sought for the erection of a single storey extension to the rear of the dwelling. The extension would be approximately 3.5 metres in height, 6 metres in length and 2.5 metres in width. The additional floor space would provide a kitchen area and a w.c. There are two windows, one to the east elevation and one to the south elevation. A single door is also situated on the south elevation. A flat roof light is positioned over the kitchen area. All windows proposed are uPVC to match existing. ### Representations The DOT Drainage Division ask that a note be attached. We have received no privately written representations. ### Assessment The application site is located outside the Conservation Area and therefore is not subject to the tighter planning controls and obligations in respect of property alterations. However, the property is visible from Main Road, Foxdale and so the visual impact of the development must be considered. It is considered that this development is of an appropriate scale, design and position in relation to the existing dwelling. The extension extends across the rear of the dwelling. The scale of the proposed extension is considered appropriate to the existing dwelling and its surroundings. It is not considered that any private or public amenity would be affected by this proposal. 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 those parties that submitted comments accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore afforded interested party status. ### Recommendation **Recommended Decision:** Permitted **Date of Recommendation:** 21.06.2007 ### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal **C:** Conditions for approval **N:** Notes attached to conditions **R:** Reasons for refusal **O:** Notes attached to refusals **C 1.** The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice. **C 2.** This permission relates to the plans and drawings numbered AT871.1 submitted and date stamped 03.05.2007 ## **N 1.** There must be NO discharge of surface water (directly or indirectly) from this proposed development to any foul drainage system(s) so as to comply with the requirements of the Department of Transport Drainage Division and the Sewerage Act 1999.
