The application site comprises the residential curtilage of a detached dwelling located on King Edward Road in Onchan.
The proposed development comprises the erection of a single storey extension onto the front elevation of the dwelling.
The application site has been the subject of a number of previous planning applications, one of which is considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application.
Planning application 09/02009/B sought planning approval for the erection of an extension to the front elevation of the dwelling. This previous planning application was approved on the 16th February 2010.
Onchan District Commissioners recommend that the planning application be approved.
In terms of local plan policy, the application site is within an area recognised as being within predominantly residential use under the Onchan Local Plan. Policy O/RES/P/21 of the written statement (Planning Circular 1/2000) that accompanies the Onchan Local Plan states:
"Extensions and alterations to existing residential property will generally not be opposed where such proposals are appropriate in terms of scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property."
In terms of strategic plan policy, the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 contains one policy that is considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application. General Policy 2 states:
"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:
Paragraph 8.12.1 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 states "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 or the surrounding area in general."
The planning application seeks approval for the erection of a single storey extension onto the front elevation of the dwelling. The proposed development is identical to that approved under previous planning application 09/02009/B except for the addition of a dummy pitched roof around the edge of the proposed extension.
The proposed extension basically fills in a gap between the existing porch and garage to provide an additional bedroom for the property. The dummy pitched roof improves the visual appearance of the extension. In terms of impact it is considered that the proposal does not cause undue harm on public amenity, private amenity and highway safety. As such, the proposal accords with policy O/RES/P/21 of Planning Circular 1/2000 and General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
It is recommended that the planning application be approved.
It is considered that the following parties that made representations to the planning application should be afforded interested party status:
Onchan District Commissioners.
