property. Glen Maye Park is made up of broadly similar dwellings with regards to form, layout and appearance. Further east and south east of the application site are bungalows.

THE PROPOSAL

PLANNING POLICY - 3.1 The application site is zoned as Predominantly Residential on The Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982.

3.2 Strategic Plan General Policy 2 indicates that,

"Development which is in accordance with the land-use zoning and proposals in the appropriate Area Plan and with other policies of this Strategic Plan will normally be permitted, provided that the development:

... (b) respects the site and surroundings in terms of the siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping of buildings and the spaces around them;

...

• (g) does not affect adversely the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality;
• (h) provides satisfactory amenity standards in itself, including where appropriate safe and convenient access for all highway users, together with adequate parking, servicing and manoeuvring space;

3.3 Paragraph 8.12.1 states, "Extensions to Dwellings in built up areas or sites designated for residential use - As a general policy, in built up areas not controlled by Conservation Area or Registered Building policies, there will be a general presumption in favour of extensions to existing property where such extensions would not have an adverse impact on either adjacent property or the surrounding area in general".

PLANNING HISTORY

4.1 The application site has been the subject of wider planning applications for the residential development of Glen Maye Park. Approval was given under 14/00656/B for an extension over the garage to create two addtional bedrooms. REPRESENTATIONS - 5.1 DOI Highways have indicated No Highways Interest (15/11/17).

5.2 Patrick Parish Commissioners have confirmed they have no objection (15/11/17). - 5.3 No comments have been received from neighbouring properties.

ASSESSMENT

6.1 The proposed works will have a very limited impact on the overall appearance of the dwelling or the surrouding area. CONCLUSION - 7.1 The proposal is supported. INTERESTED PERSON STATUS - 8.1 By virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No 2) Order 2013 Article 6(4), the following persons are automatically interested persons:
