23, Cooil Breryck, Ramsey, Isle Of Man, IM8 3hl
Permission was granted for a single storey extension to the side elevation of a detached bungalow at 23 Cooil Breryk, Ramsey, Isle of Man. The property is located at the end of a 1970s residential cul-de-sac and already features a porch extension to the south side and a flat-roofed garage to the north side. The main planning considerations were whether the extension would harm the character and appearance of the dwelling and the wider street scene, and whether it would affect the amenity of neighbouring residents. The application was approved on 8 May 2019 under delegated authority. One condition was attached to the permission.
The application was approved by the Head of Development Management under delegated authority. The key planning considerations were the impact on the character and appearance of the dwelling and street scene, and the effect on neighbouring amenity. Both were found to be acceptable.
