The Old School is a prominent building next to the highway. The site is adjacent to the playing fields of the new school and thus the building is quite visible on approach from Mines Road to the west.
The building is now a dwelling but has no garage for the parking of vehicles. The south west elevation is two storey although the rest of the building appears to be single storey because of the difference between road level that of the curtilage of the dwelling.
It is pertinent to note that the Foxdale local plan 1999 still refers to the site being a school and playground but approval was granted under PA 95/068.
It is proposed to build a flat roof extension on the south west elevation to accommodate 3 garages. It would measure 6.2 metres by 15.4 metres in length. The flat roof would be bounded by a low decorative balustrade. The details provided do not provide an accurate representation of what is proposed. This should be a condition in the event of an approval. There would be access to this upper level through the existing french doors and it is intended to use this area as a patio. It would be unfortunate to have this patio area covered by greenhouses/sheds etc.
The extension would be visible but the building has already lost some of its character. The white uPVC windows are for instance, inappropriate. There seems to be a number of cars within the curtilage of the site; the new garaging may tidy up the site and the extension would be a satisfactory alternative to siting a garage elsewhere within the curtilage.
