Alterations and extension to dwelling

Why Was This Refused?

• ✓Mass and proximity of the two-storey extension harmful to amenity of No. 27 The Fairway
• ✓Hipped roof was the only design change from the refused scheme and was not sufficient to address massing concerns
• ✓Conversion from bungalow with roof accommodation to full two-storey dwelling increases overall height and alters building orientation
• ✓Failure to comply with General Policy 2(g) and Policy O/RES/P/21 on residential extensions and amenity
• ✓contrary to General Policy 2(g) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 and Policy O/RES/P/21

The proposal sought to alter and extend a detached bungalow at 39 Groudle Road, Onchan, converting it from a bungalow with roof accommodation into a true two-storey dwelling. The changes would have increased the overall height and altered the position and orientation of the building. 27 The Fairway. Onchan District Commissioners and the occupants of the adjoining property both objected on the same basis.

The application was refused because the development's mass and proximity to No. 27 The Fairway would adversely affect the amenity of its residents. The proposal therefore failed to comply with General Policy 2(g) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 and Policy O/RES/P/21 of Planning Circular 1/2000.
