Application No.: 10/01080/B Applicant: Hartford Homes Ltd Proposal: Erection of a dwelling (comprising amendments to dwelling approved under PA 09/01335B) Site Address: Knock Rushen Scarlett Road Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1NS ### Considerations Case Officer : Miss S E Corlett Expected Decision Level: Senior Planning Officer ### Written Representations ### Consultations Consultee : Drainage Division (Mr I Wade) Notes: No objection Consultee : Highways Division Notes: Do not oppose Consultee : Castletown Commissioners Notes :
The site represents the curtilage of an approved plot within a developing estate to the south west of Castletown centre. The estate comprises 41 new dwellings and the conversion of barns to further dwelling units. The plot which is the subject of this application sits in the centre of the site, with the northern side elevation fronting onto an area of public open space and backing onto the side of plot 26. The property approved on the plot is a detached house which faces towards the south west and with an attached garage and car port. To the south is plot 28 which has approved on it a detached two storey house.
The site lies within an area designated on the Castletown Local Plan of 1991 as Predominantly Residential. On the draft Southern Area Plan which was published on 23rd October, 2009 the site is identified as Residential with an area of Public Open Space and a site of archaeological interest in the north western corner.
Planning permission was granted for the development of the estate under PA 04/2083 and this scheme was amended under PAs 09/1335, 09/1949, 10/0241, 10/0600, 10/0837 and 10/1014.
Now proposed is the erection of a two storey dwelling very similar to that already approved on the plot but where the small pitched roofed rear single storey annex is to have a flat parapet roof which projects some 3.8 m from the rear elevation compared with the 2.5 m projection of the approved pitched roofed annex. The front elevation will remain as approved.
The Isle of Man Water and Sewerage Authority recommend that conditions are attached to control the connection of the property to the main sewerage system. This is not a matter for the planning application and the application states that the property will be connected to the surface water sewer and as such is accepable.
Highways and Traffic Division indicate that the application is acceptable.
The proposed changes do not adversely affect the character or appearance of the property nor do they affect the impact of the dwelling.
The local authority is, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (d), considered an "interested person" and as such should be afforded party status.
The Highways and Traffic Division are now part of the Department of Infrastructure and should not be afforded party status
The Isle of Man Water and Sewerage Authority are a statutory authority and should be afforded party status.
