Statement

PLANNING STATEMENT Applicant: Mr S Jones Address: Spring Bank, Baldrine Road, Baldrine, IM4 6EB Proposal: A front extension to increase the size of the existing garage and to provide an entrance porch. The erection of a small greenhouse in the garden area. Description of the Existing House:

A period Manx stone cottage with white rendered walls and a grey slated roof, which has previously been extended by the additions of an attached garage, an extension to provide a kitchen and also a small conservatory.

Proposed Development:

To extend the existing garage towards the front, so that it is level with the front of the existing kitchen. This will provide much needed extra garage space as the existing garage is too small for a car!

Also, the extension will provide an entrance porch area, creating a storm porch for the kitchen and also linking the kitchen door to the garage entrance.

It is also proposed to widen the existing front gate to provide improved access to and from the driveway, as shown on the Proposed Block Site Plan.

The proposed garage extension will come no nearer to the side boundary fence than 1.0m at the nearest point.

It is proposed to finish the extension with white rendered walls, and with grey Decra tiles to the roof, matching the existing kitchen roof.
