This application sought permission to alter and extend 112 Summerhill Road, Onchan — a three-storey mid-terraced dwelling finished in painted render with a natural slate pitched roof — to provide an integral garage with living accommodation above. The officer's report identified three main planning issues: whether the type of development was appropriate for the location, whether the design and massing were in keeping with the existing property and the wider street scene, and whether neighbouring amenities would be harmed. The application was permitted on 16 May 2013 through delegated decision, consistent with the officer's recommendation to approve. The determining body is recorded as Delegated.
