The site is not within a Conservation Area; however the site 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 previous planning applications are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application:- Construction of garage and store extensions - 87/00410/B – APPROVED Alterations and extensions to form bedroom, bathroom, sauna and conservatory - 87/00074/B - APPROVED Extension to form additional living accommodation - 84/00644/B - APPROVED Extensions to form additional living accommodation - 84/00001/B - APPROVED PROPOSAL The application seeks approval for alterations and erection of a first floor extension. The first floor extension is to the northern elevation of the dwelling, which would have a width of 4.7 metres, a depth of 6.1 metres and a ridge height (to match the existing) of 3.7 metres. REPRESENTATIONS Lezayre Parish Commissioners:- "The Commissioners studied the plans received, and felt that they were not very clear, and therefore request plans that show very clearly the existing plan and proposed extension plan. Once this is received the Commissioners will let you know their decision." The Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the application. ## ASSESSMENT / RECOMMENDATION The proposal is a very minor extension, which will have no adverse impact upon the visual amenity of the existing property or upon the surrounding locality, due to the significant boundary treatment which surrounds the site (3+ metre high hedgerow/bushes) and as the property is setback approximately 65 metres from Lezayre Road. Additionally, it is considered the design of the extension is in keeping with the existing property. It is also considered the proposal would not have any adverse impact upon the neighbouring properties given the size of the extensions and as the closest neighbouring property (Kerrowmoar House) is 34 metres away to the east. Regarding the concerns of the Commissioners it is considered the submitted plans are adequate to make a assessment. For this reasons the proposals would be appropriate in this location and therefore my recommendation is for an approval. ## PARTY STATUS It is considered that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status: Lezayre Parish Commissioners Department of Transport Highways Division Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 09.10.2008 9 October 2008 08/01461/B Page 2 of 3 ## 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 #### C1.
