Application No.: 09/01611/B Applicant: Mrs Nadine Pamela Crowther Proposal: Erection of extension and installation of dormer Site Address: Scarlett Road Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1NT ### Considerations Case Officer : Miss S E Corlett Expected Decision Level: Senior Planning Officer ### Written Representations ### Consultations Consultee : Highways Division Notes: Do not oppose Consultee : Castletown Commissioners Notes : Consultee : Drainage Division Notes: No objection subject to the following conditions:-
The site represents the curtilage of an existing detached dwelling which sits on the corner of Scarlett Road at the entrance to the new estate of 41 new dwellings plus the conversion of two existing barns, approved and being implemented by Hartford Homes Ltd under the provisions of PAs 04/2083 and 09/1335. The application property is a dormer bungalow with no boundary walls or fences, with some facing stonework (split stone set in cement) and the remainder of the property rendered with a tiled roof and single chimney in the rear pitch.
The site lies within an area designated on the extant and draft Castletown Plans of 1991 and 2001 and the draft Southern Area Plan published on 23rd October, 2009 as Residential.
No planning applications have been submitted in respect of this site.
Now proposed is an extension at the rear of the site, coming closer to the estate road than does the existing side elevation, by 1 m but in line with an existing wall approximately 1.8 m high. Also
proposed is the installation of a small flat roofed dormer on the rear pitch. The extension will be 1.4 m higher than the existing wall with a flat roof and lantern lights. Also proposed is the change of windows to doors in the rear elevation.
Department of Transport Drainage Division request a condition which requires discussion regarding disposal of the surface water which should not be to the main sewer.
Department of Transport Highways and Traffic Division raise no objection to the application.
The development should be considered in the light of the provisions of General Policy 2 which states: : "Development which is in accordance with the land use zoning and proposals in the appropriate Area Plan and with other policies of this Strategic Plan will normally be permitted, provided that the development: a) is in accordance with the design brief in the Area Plan where there is such a brief; b) respects the site and surroundings in terms of the siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping of buildings and the space around them; c) does not affect adversely the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape; d) does not adversely affect the protected wildlife or locally important habitats on the site or adjacent land, including water courses; e) does not affect adversely public views of the sea; f) incorporates where possible existing topography and landscape features, particularly trees and sod banks; g) does not affect adversely the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality; h) provides satisfactory amenity standards in itself, including where appropriate safe and convenient access for all highway users, together with adequate parking, servicing and manoeuvring space; i) does not have an adverse effect on road safety or traffic flows on the local highways; j)can be provided with all necessary services; k) does not prejudice the use or development of adjoining land in accordance with the appropriate Area Plan; I) is not on contaminated land or subject to unreasonable risk of erosion or flooding; m) takes account of community and personal safety and security in the design of buildings and the spaces around them; and n) is designed having due regard to best practice in reducing energy consumption."
In this case the proposal will have only a limited impact on the visual character of the area. The surrounding estate is modern with open plan plots and a collection of pitched roofs and some flat roofed dormers. There is an existing wall where it is proposed to build an extension which is only slightly higher than the existing wall. There is a garage separating the end of the proposed extension from the land to the rear which has permission for residential development.
As such, it is considered that this application satisfies the provisions for General Policy 2 and should be permitted.
The Department of Transport and the local authority are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status.
