# Officer Planning Report

**Application No.:** 08/00165/B
**Applicant:** Mr John Wood
**Proposal:** Repairs to external platform and staircase
**Site Address:** St Georges Mill Glen Road Laxey Isle Of Man IM4 7AR ### Considerations Case Officer : Mr Chris Balmer
**Expected Decision Level:** Delegated Decision Senior DC Officer ### Written Representations ### Consultations Consultee : Highways Division Notes : no objection Consultee : Laxey Commissioners Notes : No objection

### Officer's Report

Site The site represents the curtilage of St Georges Mill, Glen Road, Laxey, which consists of a large two storey, detached property. The site is located on the eastern side of Glen Road

Land Use Zoning The site has been zoned under the Laxey and Lonan Local Plan as being within an area of Light Industrial Use, the site is also within a Conservation Area.

Planning History There are no previous planning applications which are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application.

Proposal The application seeks approval for the repairs to external platform and staircase.

## Representations

**Laxey Commissioners:** No objection **Highways Division:** Do not oppose We have received no privately written representations objecting to the application.

### Assessment / recommendation

The proposed works are very modest in size and will have little or no impact upon the existing building or upon the visual appearance of the Conservation Area, particularly as the alterations are to the rear of the site. The Conservation Officer has no objections. For these reasons the proposal would be appropriate in this location and therefore my recommendation is for an approval.

### Party Status

I consider that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:

**Highways Division** **Laxey Commissioners**
