Planning permission was sought for single storey extensions to the rear and a two storey extension to the front elevations of Kalista, Windsor Grove, Ramsey, including alterations to doors and fenestration.

The officer report identified potential issues relating to visual impact on the street scene and impact on neighbouring amenities. Based on the determination, these considerations did not lead to a refusal. The formal decision record lists 1 condition.
