1.0 SITE - 1.1 The application site represents the curtilage of an existing property North Barrule, Port Lewaigue Close, Port Lewaigue. The dwelling is a two storey semi-detached dwelling, with gardens to the front, side and the rear of the property. The dwelling is located to the eastern side of Port Lewaigue Close. The property sits within an housing estate within Port Lewaigue.
2.0 PLANNING POLICIES - 2.1 In terms of local plan policy, the application site is within an area recognised as being within a "predominately residential use" under the IOM Development Plan Order 1982. The site is not within a Conservation Area. - 2.2 General Policy 2 of the Strategic Plan is considered applicable, 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:

5.2 Garaff Commissioners do not object (13.01.2021). - 6.0 ASSESSMENT
6.1 The key issues relate to the potential visual impact upon the street scene and potential impact upon neighbouring amenities.
6.2 The proposed rear and side extensions in terms of their design, proportion, siting and finish is appropriate and in keeping with the main dwelling house and would be an acceptable form of development. The majority of the works would be screen due to the sinficant and mature hedgerow which runs aounrd the boundaries of the site. Accordingly, from these respects the proposals would comply with General Policy 2 and the Residential Design Guide.
6.3 The paving of the front gareden did initially raise concern, however, given the front/side garden to the sough of the main dwelling being retained and the mature hedgerow to the front and side boundaries being retained, it is not considered the propsoal would adverse affect the visual amneities of the street scenen. - 6.4 The neighbouring properties most likely to be affected would be The Hedges and The Hills which are to either side of the application site. In terms of the rear extension, it is not considered the proposal would have any significant impacts either through loss or light, overbearing impact upon outlook. In terms of overlooking there is a argue to be made that while the new rear extension would include windows within the northern elevation and this has the potential to give raise to overlooking of The Hedges; it needs to be acknowledged that the mature hedgerows would screen an overlooking. - 6.5 In terms of the potential impact upon The Hills, this is most likely through potential overlooking form the new roof terrace to the side (gable end wall) of the property. However, given the distance between the two properties, and existing two storey building located along the shared boundary and as the neighbouring dwelling is set back further from the application dwelling, it is not considered there would be any significant overlooking to warrant a refusal.
7.1 Overall, it is considered the proposal would comply with the relevant policies of the Isle Of Man Strategic Plan and the Residential Design Guide, not having any significant public or private amenities and therefore it is recommended that the application be approved. - 8.0 INTERESTED PERSON STATUS
