24 November 2009 · Delegated
26, Carrick Park, Sulby, Isle Of Man, IM7 2ey
Permission was granted for the creation of french doors to the side elevation of a single-storey detached dwelling at 26 Carrick Park, Sulby, Isle of Man. The application was decided by delegated authority on 24 November 2009. The officer's main concern was the potential for overlooking and loss of privacy for neighbouring properties. A relevant factor was that the proposed french doors would replace an existing window in the same location, rather than introducing an entirely new opening. The shared boundary with numbers 26 and 27 Carrick Park consists of a 1.5 metre high timber fence alongside bushes and hedges ranging from approximately one to two metres in height, which formed part of the site context considered in the assessment.
The application was permitted on 24 November 2009 under delegated authority. The officer recommended approval, and the proposal replaced an existing window rather than introducing a new opening. The boundary between the property and its neighbours includes a 1.5 metre timber fence and hedging, which the officer considered relevant to the question of overlooking and privacy.
