The Boundary treatment along the northern boundary which runs adjacent to the A13 road consists of a 2 metre high hedgerow. Along the properties driveway there are a number of large mature trees which run along each side.
Land Use Zoning / Policy

Proposal
The application proposes the conversion of first floor store into a studio holiday apartment. Planning History Alterations and extension to garage to form workshop area including raising of ridge height to provide store (03/00546/B) - APPROVED Extension to dwelling (01/00685/B) - APPROVED Creation of living accommodation in existing garage & construction of new garage and conservatory (94/00875/B) - APPROVED Representations
Andreas Parish Commissioners:- No objection
Highways Division do not oppose subject to the imposition of the following condition:-
Reason To ensure adequate parking provision for the proposed apartment.
Chief Environmental Health Officer:- The proposed flat must, on completion of the proposed works, comply with the requirements of the Housing (Flats) Regulations 1982 and be registered thereafter under the same Regulations.
The IOM Water Authority make no comment on the merit of the proposed development but request that an informative note be attached to any approval decision notice.
The Chief Fire Officer make no comment on the merit of the proposed development but request that an informative note be attached to any approval decision notice.
S.P.M.C. & E:-
This building in the countryside is neither redundant or worthy of Registration but lies within a domestic curtilage. If the conversion is to be allowed, it must be tied to the present dwelling in some way.
The Registration & Grading Commission has commented to the planning application, which can be summarised as the Commission fully supports the proposal.
The Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the application.
The conversion of the first floor store room involves no external alterations to the existing property. The site can easily accommodate an additional off street parking provision. The use of the first floor as a tourist unit would not introduce any adverse impacts to the detriment of residential amenity of the neighbouring properties.
For these reasons the proposal 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:-
