Officer's Report

THE APPLICATION SITE AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The application site comprises the curtilage of a detached dwelling that is located in the Dollagh area of Ballaugh. The proposed development comprises the erection of an extension onto the rear elevation of the dwelling. PLANNING HISTORY

Whilst the application site has been the subject of a number of previous planning applications it is considered that none of these are specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application.

REPRESENTATIONS Ballaugh Parish Commissioners have no objections to the planning application. The Department of Transport Highways Division do not oppose the planning application. The Department of Transport Drainage Division do not oppose the planning application. PLANNING POLICY
