Within the adopted Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007, the following policies are considered to be relevant in the determination of this application: General Policy 2, Housing Policy 6,
The application site is seeking and approval in principle for the erection of a dwelling. The development is compatible with the area since the area is zoned as predominantly residential in the Douglas Local Plan. It is considered the principle of developing the site for a residential use is acceptable within this locality.
The Highways Division do not oppose the application as there are not traffic managements, parking or road safety implications.
The site is adjacent to a river. The indicative plans show the approximate position of the dwelling. The dwelling would be approximately 37m away from the river. The reserved matters application needs to include full details of the finished floor level of the dwelling.
In terms of the impact on Stovell Lodge, there is an access road which runs past this property leading to Stovell. It is proposed the future occupiers of the dwelling would use the same access road. The proposal will certainly lead to an increase in volume of vehicles travelling past Stovell Lodge. This increase will be relatively small. It is considered the use of the access road by an additional dwelling will adversely affect the residential environment of Stovell Lodge.
