Highways Division and Douglas Borough Council have no objections to the two storey side extension at 9 Close Cowley, Douglas, but the Fire Prevention Officer recommends refusal due to inadequate means of escape, and a neighbouring resident objects due to close proximity.
Key concern: means of escape from the ground floor lounge is via the kitchen which is inherently unsafe in the event of fire

Objectionwe would in fact be only 150mm away from the 2 storey extension; we have already informed Mr Healey that we would not allow any builder access for its construction; they need to allow enough room down the side of their property for scaffolding or ladder... We would like to see at least 1 metre.
Conditions requested: at least 1 metre separation to allow room for scaffolding or ladder for independent building and maintenance
