15, Cooil Breryck, Ramsey, Isle Of Man, IM8 3hl
Permission was granted for the installation of replacement roof tiles at 15 Cooil Breryk, Ramsey, Isle of Man. The property is a detached bungalow situated in the south-west corner of a small cul-de-sac made up of five similar properties. The main planning consideration was the potential effect on the visual amenities of the street scene. Officers noted that the roof is unlikely to be seen from any public vantage point, as the property faces north and is tucked within the cul-de-sac, with views limited to those accessing the immediate neighbouring properties. The application was approved under delegated powers on 12 September 2019, subject to one condition.
The application was approved on 12 September 2019. The key planning consideration was the potential impact on the visual amenities of the street scene. Because the property sits in a small north-facing cul-de-sac of five bungalows, the roof is unlikely to be visible from any public vantage point, making the visual impact minimal. The application was decided under delegated powers and is subject to one condition.
