This application sought permission to alter and extend a dwelling at Cronk Breck, Bernahara Road, Andreas, to create a garage with living accommodation above. The officer's report identified the impact on public and private amenity as the key planning considerations. It noted that public views of the dwelling are largely screened by intervening topography and vegetation, and that the proposed extension would sit behind the main part of the existing building, making it effectively hidden from public view. The application was permitted by committee on 27 November 2012, consistent with the officer's recommendation to approve.
