Michael Commissioners do no objection to the proposal. ### Assessment The application site is located within an area of existing residential use under the Kirk Michael Local Plan, 1994.

This proposed development would respect the site and surroundings in terms of the scale, form and design of the double doors. The design would be in-keeping with the existing building and the surrounding area and would not adversely affect the appearance of the property. The proposals would not result in any additional overlooking of neighbouring properties and as such would not adversely affect the residential amenity enjoyed by neighbouring properties. ### Recommendation For these reasons the proposal is considered acceptable and it is recommended that the planning application be permitted. ### Party Status It is considered that the following parties, who submitted comments, accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore, afforded Interested Party Status: The Department of Transport Highways Division Michael Commissioners ### Recommendation ## 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.
