Officer's Report

The application site is set in an area of private woodland, as designated in the 1982 Development Plan Order,

The proposal is set to the rear of the existing cottage. This extension was granted permission back in March 2000. However, the approved works were not started and the permission has since lapsed.

The proposal will be partially obscured by the existing outbuilding to the property. I feel the proposal will not be a prominent and incongruous feature in the street scene.

The application site is situated next to Ballaugh Stream. DAFF have commented the applicant should be advised that the development must be a minimum distance of 8m from the riverbank to avoid disturbance to the natural habitat. This would essence mean that an extension could not be built in this location. Since there are other buildings in close proximity of the stream I do not feel the proposal will disturb the natural habitat of the stream.
