Secretary of the Planning Committee Murray House Mount Havelock Douglas IM1 2SF 15th December 2020 Dear Sir/Madam,
Ref: Application for Conversion of Outbuilding into 2 No. Apartments, forming study in Annex next to existing building and associated works at Rose Villa, Peveril Road, Peel.
Regarding your request for street view information. The site of the proposal is at the rear and at a lower level behind Rose Villa and not readily visible from Peveril Road. Gib Lane abuts the site and the rear of properties on Walpole Road. Impact on adjoining properties No.5 Peveril Road Has a gable set away from Rose Villa by a drive-way. The gable is blank, apart from 2 No. windows at the front, which only have light and aspect from the front portion of Rose Villa’s front garden.
Proposed works in the area of the side of No.5 Peveril Road consist of raising the roof by a small amount, removal of existing roof sheeting and replacing with slate plus rooflights and solar panels.
No windows are included in the external wall that faces No.5. Rooflights are included on the roof slope to provide light, but being located 2m high above floor level, do not allow for views and thus would not intrude on the privacy of the adjoining property and will not overlook the rear garden/garage of this property. Being set on the North East side of No.5 it is unlikely to have any effect on loss of direct sunlight in the rear of No.5
Walpole Road/Gib Lane The proposal site abuts Gib Lane and the rear of Walpole Road properties ‘Rock View’ and ‘Westbourne’. The main aspect of the proposal is towards Peel Bay, this land to North West drops quickly away beyond the property’s boundary and has a clear view towards the bay and the horizon with the roofs of Stanley road distant. Views of the North East elevation of the outbuilding to be converted, are interrupted by the existing garage block and the high wall to Gib Lane. These prevent views and loss of privacy at ground floor level to the two Walpole Road properties ‘Westbourne’ and ‘Rock View’ are small. ‘Westbourne’ windows are small and appear to by utility rooms and overlook Rose Villa’s year/parking area. Those at the rear of Rock View are distant with lower floors facing the high wall of Rose Villa. This

relationship of overlooking exists now and the proposal will not create any greater intrusion or loss of light than exists for these properties and Rose Villa. The proposed extension forming a lounge and kitchen are set out at ground level. The main aspects are North East (over Peel bay) and South West facing Rose Villa. We believe that it will not cause any greater loss of privacy or loss of aspect or light and sunlight to any adjoining property.
We attach photographs illustrating these relationships of buildings.
The re-use of these outbuildings, whilst they are currently let car parking facilities, we consider is desirable in that it converts largely redundant buildings (formerly workshops? we understand) into residential properties of modern standards which follows strategic policy to re-use where possible of such buildings. The proposal is suitable for both normal residential or holiday accommodation. The buildings are in sound condition and can be provided with all the necessary services and drainage via the mains systems.
Traffic impact will not be greater as currently 8 garages exist and activity is likely to be less for 2 No. residential units. Also widening the lane wall will provide for improved manoeuvring in and out of the forecourt area.
Yours sincerely,
For Partington Nixon & Kinrade
