Officer's Report

The Application Site And Planning Application

The application site comprises the curtilage of a mid-terrace dwelling located in Church Avenue, Onchan.

The planning application seeks retrospective approval for the installation of uPVC windows in the front elevation of the property.

Planning History

There are no previous planning applications that I consider relevant to the assessment of this current planning application.

Representations

Planning 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."

Assessment

I consider the overall level of development contained within the proposal to be relatively modest and in keeping with the character of the dwelling. I am satisfied that the proposal does not adversely affect public or private amenity and, as such, is in accordance with policy O/RES/P/21 of the Onchan Local Plan.

I recommend that the planning application be approved.

Party Status

I consider that all parties that made representations to the planning application meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status.
