The application site represents the residential curtilage of 16 Rhenwyllan Close, Port St. Mary. The dwelling is a modern two storey detached house located in a residential cul de sac in the northern part of the village.
Proposed is the installation of a doorway on the rear elevation to replace an existing window.
The existing window is to a utility room. It is located between the conservatory extension and the patio doors on the rear elevation. The existing window opening is 1.15 metres wide by 1.25 metres high. The proposed door opening would be 1.15 metres wide by 2.1 metres high. The proposed door would be in white upvc with a fixed glazed side panel.
In addition to the installation of the door, there would be two concrete steps in front of the door, which would match the existing steps to the patio doors on the rear.
The following previous planning applications are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application:
93/01063/B – Permitted 01/01/94 Erection of dwelling, Plot 16, Rhenwyllin Close, Ballacreggan Estate, Port St. Mary

The application site is located within an area designated as Proposed Predominantly Residential Use on the Isle of Man Development Order Plan 1982. The site is not located within a Conservation Area.
On the Modified Draft Area Plan for the South 2011 (Map no. 7), the site is located within an area designated as Predominantly Residential Use. The site is not located within the proposed Port St. Mary Conservation Area.
The relevant planning policy from the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 is 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:
Port St. Mary Commissioners have no objections to the planning application.
No written responses have been received from the general public.
The main issues in the assessment of this planning application are the impact on neighbouring properties and the impact on the surrounding area in general.
Impact on neighbouring properties:
The proposed doorway would replace an existing window and due to this, it is considered that there would be no adverse impacts on neighbouring properties in terms of loss of privacy.
Impact on the surrounding area in general:
The proposal would affect the rear elevation of the dwelling, rather than the front. The alteration is considered to be relatively minor in nature and not readily visible to the public, due to the view being screened by the existing conservatory. It is therefore considered that the proposal would not have an adverse impact on the surrounding area in general.
For the above reasons, this proposal is considered to be acceptable and is recommended for approval.
It is considered that the following parties, who submitted comments, should be afforded interested party status:
Port St. Mary Commissioners
