The site is not within a Conservation Area, but is within an area zoned as High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance. - Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982 - The Isle of Man Strategic Plan (20th June 2007) ## Planning History The following previous planning applications are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application: Erection of conservatory on rear elevation - 04/02415/B - APPROVED ### Proposal The application seeks approval for the erection of extension to the rear elevation of the dwelling. The extension would have a rear projection of 3 metres, a width of 17.7 metres and a maximum height of 3.8 metres. ### Representations Highways Division:- no objection The Chief Fire Officer request that an informative note be attached to any approval decision notice. The Drainage Division request that an informative note be attached to any approval decision notice. The Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the application. ### Assessment / Recommendation The proposed extension to the rear elevation is a sizeable extension due to its width. However due to the rear position of the extension and due to the boundary treatment along the front elevation of the dwelling (approx 3 metre high mature hedgerow) the proposal will not be apparent from the public highway. Additionally the extension has been designed to be in keeping with the existing property. The proposal will have no adverse impact upon the residential amenity of the neighbouring property "St Bridgets Rectory", due to the significant difference in ground levels, due to the existing boundary treatment and as the extension projects only 3 metres. 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: Bride Parish Commissioners Department of Transport Highways Division Drainage Division It is consider that the following parties that made representations to the planning application do not meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should not be afforded interested party status: The Chief Fire Officer The Drainage Division ### Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 04.04.2008 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.
