Permission was granted for alterations to a detached bungalow at 29 Furman Close, Onchan, including changes to an existing extension, and alterations to the driveway and vehicular access. During the application process, the roof design was amended: a roof lantern was substituted for the originally proposed pitched roof via a revised drawing. The property has an attached garage on its eastern side and a pair of driveways at its frontage. The main planning considerations were the altered access and parking area and highway safety. The cul-de-sac location, which encourages low vehicle speeds, was noted as a relevant site characteristic. The application was decided under delegated powers.

The application was approved by delegated decision on 21 September 2017. The key planning considerations were the altered vehicular access and parking area, and highway safety. The proposal was found acceptable in the context of this residential cul-de-sac setting. The formal decision record lists 1 condition.
