Officer’s Report

1.0 SITE - 1.1 The application site Claire Ville, Andreas Road, Andreas, is a two storey detached dwelling which is located on the southern side of the Andreas Road and southeast of Andreas Village.

2.0 PLANNING POLICIES - 2.1 The property has been zoned within the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982 as being within an area of high landscape value as well as being adjacent to a small private woodland east of the existing dwelling. The site is not within a Conservation Area. - 2.2 Due to the zoning of the site and the proposed works the following policies are relevant in the determination of the application:- - 2.3 Environment Policy 1 & 2 and Housing Policy 16

3.0 PLANNING HISTORY - 3.1 The following previous planning applications associated with the property which is considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application; - 3.2 Alterations, demolition of existing garage and utility and erection of a two storey extension and conservatory extension - 07/00269/B- APPROVED

4.0 PROPOSAL - 4.1 The application seeks approval for the replacement of existing glazed conservatory roof with light weight roof tiles.

5.0 REPRESENTATIONS - 5.1 Andreas Parish Commissions (18.07.2018) have no objection. - 5.2 Highway Services indicate that there is no highway interest in the application (24.07.18).

6.0 ASSESSMENT - 6.1 The principal issues relate to the potential impact upon neighbouring amenities (overlooking, loss of light and/or overbearing impact) by the development and the potential visual impacts upon the amenities of the street scene. - 6.2 Regarding to the re-roofing of the conservatory roof it is considered to be an appropriate form of development which would have no significant impacts upon the amenities of the occupants of the neighbouring properties. - 6.3 In relation to the potential visual impact upon the street scene, the proposal would not be especially apparent from the adjacent highway, given its location to the rear of the dwelling; however, the proposal would be arguably more in keeping than the existing dwelling. - 6.4 Overall, it is considered that the overall level of development contained within the proposal is relatively modest and in keeping with the character of the dwelling, with suitably limited impact on the neighbouring properties. As such the proposal does not adversely affect public or private amenity and is therefore in accordance with Environment Policy 1 & 2 and Housing Policy 16 of the IOM Strategic Plan.

7.0 CONCLUSION - 7.1 For these reasons the proposal is considered to comply with the relevant polices of the Strategic Plan and the Douglas Local Plan and therefore recommended for an approval.
