Permission was granted for alterations and extensions to a detached dwelling at Far End, 88 King Edward Road, Onchan. The site sits at the western end of the built area of King Edward Road and slopes downward from north to south toward the sea, with the land currently containing a vacant dwelling. The main planning consideration was the impact of the proposed works on public amenity. The officer recommended approval and the decision was made under delegated authority, with two conditions attached to the permission. The property has a notable planning history, with ten previous applications recorded on the site.
The application was permitted by a delegated officer decision. The key planning consideration was the impact of the proposed alterations and extensions on public amenity, and the proposal was found acceptable on that basis.
Extensions and alterations to existing residential property will generally not be opposed where such proposals are appropriate in terms of scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property.
