Permission was granted for a rear extension at 7 Lhoan Pibbin Vane, Reayrt Ny Cronk, Peel, a detached two-storey house within a modern residential estate. The site backs onto properties fronting Imman Stronnag, with No.12 Imman Stronnag directly to the rear. The officer assessed two main planning issues: the visual impact of the proposed extension on the character of the area, and the potential effects on the amenities of neighbouring properties, including overlooking, loss of light, overbearing impact, and privacy. Both were found to be acceptable. The application was approved under delegated powers on 11 August 2020, with one condition attached.
