Permission was granted to erect an extension replacing an existing conservatory at Zalmonah, a detached bungalow on the northern end of Lezayre Road, Ramsey. The existing conservatory at the front of the property has a small brick plinth and is mostly glazed. The officer assessed two main planning issues: whether the proposed extension would harm the character and appearance of the property and the wider street scene, and whether it would adversely affect neighbouring properties. Both were considered acceptable. The application was decided by delegated authority on 26 January 2021 and was approved subject to one condition.
