THE APPLICATION SITE AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

The application site comprises the curtilage of a mid-terrace dwelling located on Royal Drive in Onchan.

The proposed development comprises of the installation of a replacement door and part surrounding frame on the front elevation of the dwelling.

PLANNING HISTORY

Whilst the application site has been the subject of a previous planning application it is considered that this is not specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application.

REPRESENTATIONS Onchan District Commissioners recommend that the planning application be approved. PLANNING POLICY

The application site is within an area recognised as being within predominantly residential use under the Onchan Local Plan. Policy O/RES/P/21 of the written statement (Planning Circular 1/2000) that accompanies the Onchan Local Plan states:

"Extensions and alterations to existing residential property will generally not be opposed where such proposals are appropriate in terms of scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property."

It is considered that the overall level of development contained within the proposal is modest and in keeping with the character of the dwelling. As such the proposal does not adversely affect public or private amenity and is therefore in accordance with policy O/RES/P/21 of Planning Circular 1/2000.

It is recommended that the planning application be approved.
