| Application No.: | 11/01297/B |
| Applicant: | Mr Steven & Mrs Angela Callaghan |
| Proposal: | Alterations and extension to dwelling |
| Site Address: | Wystryn Bay View Road Port Erin Isle Of Man IM9 6LG |
| Case Officer: | Mr Chris Balmer |
| Photo Taken: | 05.10.2011 |

| Expected Decision Level: | Officer Delegation |
The application forms the curtilage of Wystryn, Bay View Road, Port Erin which is a traditional two storey semi-detached property which is located on the northern side of the Bay View Road and north of Lhag Mooar cul-de-sac.
The application seeks approval for the alterations and extension to dwelling. The proposal involves a single 'L' shaped extension which wraps around the north-western corner of the dwelling.
The side aspect of the proposal would have a width of 2.3 metres and a depth of 4.4 metres. The rear part of the proposal which adjoins the side aspect would have a rear depth of 3.3 metres and a width of 7 metres.
The application site is within an area recognised as being an area of "Residential 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, nor is it 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:-
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 two previous planning applications, however neither are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application.
Port Erin Commissioners:- "Defer"
Highways Division:- "Do not oppose has no adverse traffic management, parking or road safety implications."
There are two issues to consider; firstly what potential impacts would the proposal have upon the neighbouring properties, namely 'Fairways' to the west. Secondary, what impact would the proposals have upon the visual amenities of the street scene.
The main issues to consider when determining the potential impact upon neighbouring residential amenities are the potential for loss of light, overlooking resulting in a loss of privacy and/or having an overbearing impact upon the outlook.
'Fairways' is located to the east of the application site and would be 3.5 metres from the proposed extension. The property is a modern dwelling which appears to have been constructed after the application dwelling. There is a single gable window (eastern elevation) which looks towards the application dwelling, approximately opposite the existing vestibule.
Currently a 1.2 metre high stone (approx) wall runs along the entire western boundary shared by the two properties. However, the western boundary is further reinforced by landscaping (hedgerows and bushes), which starts in line with the existing vestibule to the rear boundary of the site.
It is considered the extension given its design, position, height and the existing boundary treatment, would not have a significant impact upon the amenities of the occupants of 'Fairways'.
The aspect of the proposal which would be most apparent from public view would be the pitched roof. However, it would follow the same roof pitch and finish as the existing pitch over the vestibule. Consequently, the new roof would appear as a continuation of the roof over the existing vestibule and therefore in keeping with the property and not having a significant impact upon the visual amenities of the street scene.
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.

Date of Recommendation: 21.10.2011

C 3. The external finishes of the extension must match those of the existing building in all respects.
