Permission was granted for a triple garage and store room extension, with a terrace and balustrade above, on the south west elevation of the Old Primary School on Kionslieu Hill, Foxdale. The building is a prominent former school that has been converted into a dwelling. The officer's report noted that the converted building had no garage for parking vehicles, and the proposed flat-roof extension was intended to address this by providing three garages. The site is visible on approach from Mines Road to the west, being adjacent to the playing fields of the new school. The Planning Committee approved the application, noting that while the extension would be visible, the building had already lost some of its original character. Approval was granted subject to seven conditions.

The Planning Committee approved the application. The building, a converted former school, had no existing garage provision, and the proposed flat-roof extension on the south west elevation was considered an acceptable way to provide three garages and a store. Although the extension would be visible from the road, the building had already lost some of its original character, and the committee was satisfied the proposal was acceptable in this context.
