Department Of Home Affairs

Isle Of Man Fire And Rescue Service

Shirveish Mooghey as Sauail Ellan Vannin Fire Service Headquarters, Elm Tree House, Elm Tree Road, Onchan, Isle of Man, IM3 4EF

Planning App. No. 05/00547/B Name & Address of Premises 84 Birch Hill Crescent

Basis of Application Extend existing Porch to provide small sitting area

Fire Safety Officer'S Report

Recommend refusal as the porch now becomes a habitable room and is the only escape from the property according to the plans. This is now inherently unsafe in the event of a fire in the proposed sitting area as this would block escape from the property

Inspecting Officer John Murtagh Date 6/4/15 Recommend: Approve / Defer / Refusal
