Officer's Report
Site
The dwelling Ballakilley Cottage, Bride, is a two storey detached property which is located on the western side of the Main Road, and south of the St Bridgets Church.
Land Use Zoning / Policy
The application site is within an area recognised as being an area of predominately residential use, under the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982. The site is not within a Conservation Area, however is within an area zoned as high landscape value or costal value and scenic significance.
Proposal
The application proposes the alterations and first floor extension over garage to provide additional living accommodation.
Representations
Highways Division:- Do not oppose
Bride Parish Commissioners:- Approve
Chief Fire Officer:- Smoke Detection
We have received no privately written representations objecting to the application.
Assessment / Recommendation
Whilst the proposal would result in a two storey structure directly adjacent to the highway and forward of the existing front elevation of the main dwelling, I do not consider the proposal would have a significant impact upon the area, due to a number of properties (including Ballakilley Cottage) which are two storeys near or on the highway.
The design of the proposed extension and alterations to the single storey garage would be in keeping with the existing main dwelling house and would therefore not have an adverse visual impact upon the dwelling.
For these reasons 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:
- Bride Parish Commissioners
- Department of Transport Highways Division
I consider that the following parties that made representations to the planning application do not meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should not be afforded interested party status:-
