Planning permission was sought to erect a first floor extension over an existing rear extension at 1 Glen Bank, Glen Maye, Isle of Man. The application was decided by a Senior Planning Officer under delegated authority. The officer assessed two main issues: whether the extension would harm the character of the village and street scene, and whether it would adversely affect the amenities of neighbouring properties. The terrace is established as residential, and landscaping separates the site from the A27 road. Both issues were resolved in favour of the applicant. Permission was granted on 1 November 2012, subject to four conditions.
A Senior Planning Officer approved the application under delegated authority on 1 November 2012. The key planning considerations were the visual impact on the character of the village and street scene, and the potential effect on neighbouring amenities. Both were found to be acceptable, and the application was permitted subject to four conditions.
