Officer's Report

The Application Site

The site West Hill Farm, Jurby Road, Lezayre, is located on the northern side of the Jurby Road (A13) and is northwest of Ramsey.

Planning Policy

The application site is within an area recognised as being an area of white land not zoned for development, under the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982. The site is not within a Conservation Area, or within an area zoned as high landscape value.

Proposal

The application proposes the conversion of existing barn into a private garage and workshop. The proposal includes minor alterations to the front elevation of the existing shed, with the installation of a roller shutter door to replace the existing glazed opening. Other alterations include the installation of three translucent roof sheets to provide additional natural light.

Representations

Lezayre Parish Commissioners:- Approve

Highways Division:- Received no comments

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

Assessment / Recommendation

The proposals are very minor alterations and would have no adverse impacts to the detrimental of residential amenity of the neighbouring properties or to the surrounding countryside. For these reasons the proposals would seem appropriate in these locations and therefore my recommendation is for an approval.

Party Status

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