Representations Lezayre Parish Commissioners:- Approve The Planning Authority has not received any private representations objecting to the application. Assessment / recommendation Due to the design of the dwelling and the zoning of the site the following policy is relevant for consideration:- Housing Policy 16: The extension of non-traditional dwellings or those of poor or inappropriate form will not generally be permitted where this would increase the impact of the building as viewed by the public. The major part of the proposal is the erection of a detached garage to the south, and whilst the extension is significant, the proposal would not be visible from the public highway, as the site is very well screened from the public highway due to the significant boundary treatment around the site (see photos). Due to this, the proposed extensions would not be seen. The proposed sun room replaces the existing sun room, and again, due to the screening and the orientation of the proposed sun room, the extension would not be seen. The extensions themselves are in keeping with the existing dwelling. Recommendation For these reasons the proposals would seem appropriate in these locations and therefore my recommendation is for an approval. I consider that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status: Andreas Parish Commissioners Highways Division ## Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 13.03.2008 ## Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal ### C : Conditions for approval N : Notes attached to conditions R : Reasons for refusal 0 : Notes attached to refusals ### C 1.
