Officer's Report
Site
The dwelling Ballakinnag Cottage, Shore Road, Ballaugh, is a two storey detached property (currently under construction) which is located on the eastern side of the Shore Road and is northwest of The Cronk.
Land Use Zoning / Policy
The property has been zoned within the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982 as being within an area of high landscape value.
- Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982
- Isle of Man Strategic Plan (Modified Draft) 2004
Proposal
The application proposes the removal of condition 9 of 02/02581/B for the installation of white UPVC windows and doors.
Representations
Highways Division Do not oppose:- The development will not generate significant volumes of additional traffic.
Ballaugh Parish Commissioners:- No objection
We have received no privately written representations objecting to the application.
Assessment / recommendation
Issues to be considered with the application include:-
Visual appearance
As the site is within a high landscape value extra consideration must be undertaken to ensure the impact of the proposal will not have a detrimental impact to the detriment of the surrounding area.
A number if not all the properties along the Shore Road have installed uPVC windows and due to the coastal location and exposure to extreme weather, I consider the installation of uPVC to be acceptable. However I consider the majority of windows on the southwest and southeast elevations to be sliding sash windows.
For the reasons stated above the proposals would seem appropriate in these locations 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:
Ballaugh Parish Commissioners Department of Transport Highways Division
