Officer's Report

Site

The dwelling West Loughan, Jurby East, is located on the northern side of the B3 Road. The curtilage of the site has been highlighted in red on the location plan submitted.

Land use zoning

The area has been zoned under the Isle of Man Development Plan 1982 as being an area countryside not zoned for development. The property is not within a Conservation Area.

Proposal

The application proposes the construction of a porch/sun room extension on north elevation.

Representations

Jurby Parish Commissioners:- No comments received

Highways Division:- Do not oppose

Manx Electricity Authority:- Standard overhead/underground cable comment.

We have received no privately written representations objecting to the application.

Assessment / recommendations

The proposal to the rear of the dwelling will not cause any adverse impacts to the detriment of public or private amenity. The application also proposes to match the roof and dwarf walls with the existing dwelling.

For these reasons the proposal would seem appropriate in this location and therefore my recommendation is for an approval.

I consider that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:
