Underhill, Lezayre Road, Lezayre, Ramsey, Isle Of Man, IM7 2aj
Permission was granted for alterations and an extension to Underhill, an existing semi-detached dwelling on Lezayre Road, Lezayre. The proposal also included a new garden office and the relocation of an oil tank. The main planning considerations were the visual impact of the works on the dwelling itself and on the character and appearance of the streetscene and surrounding area, alongside any effects on the living conditions of neighbouring residents. Revised drawings were submitted during the application process to show the position of the existing driveway and to clarify the size of the proposed oil tank. The application was decided by delegated authority and permitted on 30 August 2023.
The application was permitted on 30 August 2023 under delegated authority. The officer assessed the proposal against its visual impact on the dwelling, the streetscene, and the surrounding area, as well as any effects on neighbouring amenity, and recommended approval.
