The application site relates to 1 - 12 Close Chiarn, Peel. The application site consists of 12 semi-detached properties.
The applicant proposes to replace the existing pitched roofs on all 12 semi-detached properties with Redland Dustplain tiles in a 'Rustic Red' colour. The applicant also proposes to extend the pitched roof coverings to the same pitch over the projecting front porches to replace the concrete flat roofs. However, in accordance with the applicant’s letter dated the 3rd March 2010, the applicant no longer wishes to proceed with the pitched roof coverings over the projecting front porches.
The application site is located in an area as ‘Residential’ in the Peel Local Plan 1989. The Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 contains a policy which is considered specifically material to the determination of the application – General Policy 2.
General Policy 2 states the following:
“Development which is in accordance with the land-use zoning and proposals in the appropriate Area Plan and with other policies of the Strategic Plan will normally be permitted, provided that the development:
a) is in accordance with the design brief in the Area Plan where there is such a brief;
b) respects the site and surroundings in terms of the siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping of buildings and the spaces around them; c) does not affect adversely affect the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape; d) does not adversely affect the protected wildlife or locally important habitats on the site or adjacent land, including water courses; e) does not affect adversely public views of the sea; f) incorporates where possible existing topography and landscape features, particularly trees and sod banks; g) does not adversely affect the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality; h) provides satisfactory amenity standards in itself, including where appropriate safe and convenient access for all highway users together with adequate parking, servicing and manoeuvring space; i) does not have an unacceptable effect on road safety or traffic flows on local highways; j) can be provided with all the necessary services; k) does not prejudice the use or development of adjoining land in accordance with the appropriate Area Plan; I) is not on contaminated land or subject to unreasonable risk of erosion or flooding; m) takes account of community and personal safety and security in the design of buildings and the spaces around them; and n) is designed having due regard to best practice in reducing energy consumption. Paragraph 8.12.1 states the following: "As a general policy in built up areas not controlled by Conservation Area or Registered Building Policies, there will be a general presumption in favour of extensions to existing property where such extensions would not have an adverse impact on either adjacent property of the surrounding area in general."
There have been no recent planning applications submitted which are considered relevant in the determination of the application.
Peel Town Commissioners have not raised an objection to the proposed development
The application site is located within a 'Residential Area' in the Peel Local Plan 1989. Given the nature of the proposed development it is therefore appropriate to assess the proposed development against the policy identified earlier within the report (i.e. General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007).
The proposed dwellings are not within a conservation area nor are they registered buildings. It is considered that the proposed roof covering in 'Redland Duoplain' will enhance the appearance of the buildings, where the current tiles are a mismatch of colours. The colour chosen for the replacement tiles are 'Rustic Red' which closely match those that are existing; a condition shall be attached to this effect. In conclusion, it is considered that the proposed development will not have a detrimental impact on neighbouring dwellings or the surrounding area and is therefore recommended for approval.
For these reasons the proposal is considered acceptable and it is recommended that the planning application be permitted.
It is considered that the following parties, who submitted comments, accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore, afforded Interested Party Status:
Recommended Decision: Permitted
Date of Recommendation: 04.03.2010
C 1. The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
