Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005

Proposal: Proposed Alterations and Extensions to Create Additional Living Accommodation

Address: The Haven, Tynwald Road, Peel

Applicant: Mr Colin and Mrs Glenda Quirk

The proposal for this is demolition of an existing garage/utility room which houses a gymnasium, garage and utility area which is currently built off the existing party boundary wall and sits beneath a duo pitched tiled roof with gable ends. The existing building to be replaced is of a number of different styles and materials and is in need of significant renovations. It is considered appropriate to replace the building in its entirety.

Proposals

It is proposed to replace the existing garage including domestic services representing the boiler and hot water storage facilities together with: at ground floor, a new utility room and ancillary living accommodation which is required to meet the families growing needs together with at first floor a new master bedroom suite with covered balcony and an en-suite proposal from an existing bedroom.

Careful consideration has been given to the layout of the proposal to minimise the affect on the adjoining neighbour. Accordingly, the building has been set out to enhance the existing privacy by removing the relationship with the boundary wall and providing a walkway between the new built fabric and the existing boundary.

The proposals have been set out with mindful consideration of the sun path associated with the orientation of the property. This has lead to a mono pitch solution being provided to the side elevation at first floor level. The infill behind being created via a flat roof linked to a duo pitch towards the rear. The low level games room extension will be beneath a mono pitched roof which opens onto the applicant's own garden. There is no overlooking of adjoining neighbours and the balcony has been designed in such a way as to afford single aspect only to the front of the

property this is proposed over the proposed duo pitch garage roof which will traditional valley with the abutment existing property.

Consideration has been given to means of escape from the master bedroom and an alternative staircase together with balcony provided for alternative means.

It is firmly considered that there are no issues of overlooking from the proposals and indeed the relocation of the building fabric to approximately 800 mm from the existing boundary will enhance the privacy and afford access to the rear garden from the front of the property.

We can also confirm that the existing front garden area is to have the parking area enlarged to allow for easier access and regress. It should also be borne in mind that the primary access to the property for parked vehicles is from the rear within Tynwald Close.
