The application site comprises the residential curtilage of a semi-detached dwelling that is located on Royal Avenue in Onchan.
The proposed development comprises alterations and erection of an extension to the dwelling.
The application site has been the subject of one previous planning application that is considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application.
Planning application 09/01093/B sought planning approval for alterations and erection of an extension of the dwelling. This previous planning application was approved on the 18th August 2009.
Onchan District Commissioners recommend that the planning application be approved. The Department of Infrastructure Highways Division do not oppose the planning application. The Water and Sewerage Authority do not oppose the planning application.
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 alterations and erection of an extension onto the rear of the dwelling. The proposed development is essentially a smaller revised version of the extension previous approved under planning application 09/01093/B.
It is considered that the development proposed by the planning application is in keeping with the dwelling and that the impact on public and private amenity is suitably limited. 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; and The Water and Sewerage Authority. It is considered that the following parties that made representations to the planning application should not be afforded interested party status:
The Department of Infrastructure Highways Division.
