**Document:** Officer Planning Report Recommendation **Application:** 08/00081/B — Erection of a two storey extension **Decision:** Permitted **Decision Date:** 2008-03-18 **Parish:** Braddan **Document Type:** report / officer_report **Source:** https://planningportal.im/a/84649-braddan-59-governors-road-extension/documents/1520858 --- # Officer Planning Report Recommendation ## Planning Report And Recommendations [Table omitted in markdown export] ### Considerations [Table omitted in markdown export] ### Written Representations ### Consultations [Table omitted in markdown export] ### Officer's Report #### Site The site represents the residential curtilage of 59 Governors Road, Onchan which is two storey detached dwelling, located on the eastern side of Queens Road and north of Governors Road. #### Land Use Zoning / Planning Policy The property has been zoned under The Onchan Local Plan Order 2000 as being within an area of "predominately residential"; the site is neither within a Conservation Area nor within an area of High Landscape Value or Costal Value and Scenic Significance. - Onchan Local Plan Order 2000 - Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 #### 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 erection of a two-storey extension to the rear elevation, replacing an existing two-storey extension. #### Representations **Onchan Commissioners:** - Approve The Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the application. #### Assessment / recommendation The proposed extension would replace an existing two-storey extension, and whilst the proposal would be larger in massing and height, due to the siting and the distance from any of the neighbouring properties, the proposal would not result in any adverse impacts upon the residential amenity of the neighbouring properties, either through loss of light, overbearing impact and/or overlooking resulting in a loss of privacy. The design of the extension would also be in keeping with the existing property and that of the surrounding locality. 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: **Onchan Commissioners:** - Highways Division #### Recommendation **Recommended Decision:** Permitted **Date of Recommendation:** 12.03.2008 #### Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal **C: Conditions for approval** - **N: Notes attached to conditions** - **R: Reasons for refusal** - **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 approval relates to the two-storey rear extension as proposed in the submitted documents and drawings 00081/1, C/1/07, C/2/07, C/3/07, C/4/07 and C/5/07 all received on 18th January 2008. 12 March 2008 08/00081/8 Page 2 of 3 C 3. The external finishes of the extension must match those of the existing building in all respects. I confirm that this decision accords with Government Circular No 31/07 (Delegation of Functions to Senior Planning Officer) Decision Made : Permitted Date : Signed : Mrs F Mullen Senior Planning Officer --- *Data sourced from the Isle of Man public planning register under the [Isle of Man Open Government Licence](https://www.gov.im/about-this-site/open-government-licence/).* *Canonical page: https://planningportal.im/a/84649-braddan-59-governors-road-extension/documents/1520858*
