The application forms the curtilage of 1 Station Road, Port Erin which is a single storey property, which forms part of a row of terraced properties (end terrace) located on the northern side of Station Road and northeast of the Falcons Nest Hotel.
The application seeks approval for the erection of timber shed in rear yard. The proposal would have a width of 2 metres, a depth of 5 metres and a ridge height of 2.6 metres.
The application site is within an area recognised as being an area of “mixed use”, under the Port Erin Local Plan Order 1990 and the Modified Draft Area Plan for the South. The site is not within a Conservation Area, but is proposed to be within a Conservation Area under the Modified Draft Area Plan.
Due to the site being within a predominantly residential area and due to the proposed usage the following policies are relevant in the determination of the application:-
"General
Policy 2: Development which is in accordance with the land-use zoning and proposals in the appropriate Area Plan and with other policies of this Strategic Plan will normally be permitted, provided that the development:
There are no previous planning applications which are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application.
The Planning Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the proposal.
The proposed shed would be situation within the existing enclosed (1.8 m high wall) rear yard area and therefore the majority of the proposal would be screened from public view. Only the pitched roof would project above the boundary walls.
The proposal from Station Road will not be apparent given its location to the rear of the property, but also due to a 2.5 metre high Manx Stone wall which runs to the west of the property, along the boundary fronting onto Station Road.
Overall, given its design, size, siting and boundary treatments, the proposal would have no significant visual impacts upon the amenities of the street scene.
The proposal given its height, size and location from any neighbouring residential property would have no adverse impacts upon residential amenities (loss of light, overbearing impact upon outlook and/or loss of privacy) to warrant a refusal.
Overall, it is considered the proposal would comply with the Isle Of Man Strategic Plan therefore it is recommended that the application be approved.
It is considered that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:
The Department of Transport Highways and Traffic Division is now part of the Department of Infrastructure of which the planning authority is part. As such, the Highways and Traffic Division cannot be afforded party status in this instance.
