The application site relates to 12 Prospect Terrace, Douglas. The property is a terraced located within a row of shops.
The applicant seeks retrospective planning permission for the existing external flue to the rear of the property. The flue will be 0.76 metres wide and have a height of 6.71 metres.
The application site is located in an 'Area of Predominantly Shopping Use' in the Douglas Local Plan 1998. The Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 contains policies which are considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning 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 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 adversely affect public views of the sea; f) Incorporates where possible existing topography and landscape features, particularly trees and sod banks; g) does not affect adversely 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 of traffic flows on local highways; j) can be provided with all the necessary services; k) does not prejudice the use of 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 or the surrounding area in general."
PLANNING HISTORY 08/02184/C - Change of Use from existing bakery to a hot food takeaway - Permitted (20th February 2009).
There have been no written representations received with regards to the proposed development.
The application site is located within a 'Predominantly Shopping Area' in the Douglas Local Plan 1998. 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).
Having assessed the proposed development against the above it is considered that the proposal is acceptable by reason of its siting, scale, form and design. The flue would be situated on the rear (east) elevation of the property and would not be visible from the public highway - Woodbourne Road. The stainless steel flue would only be 0.76 m in diameter and would project less than 1 metre above the existing roof line. It is therefore considered that the proposed flue would not have an adverse impact on the surrounding area or have a detrimental impact on neighbouring dwellings as it is located within shopping area with neighbouring properties also having similar flues.
RECOMMENDATION For these reasons the proposed development is considered acceptable and it is recommended that the planning application be permitted.
PARTY STATUS 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:
