Officer's Report

The application seeks approval for the erection of a two-storey extension to the side of a semi-detached dwelling in a residential area of Kirk Michael.

Objections have been received from the two properties to the rear of the application property. I do not consider their grounds for objection to be sufficiently sound to warrant refusal of the application.

After correspondence with the applicant's agent regarding the potential for a terracing effect and measures to reduce this an amended drawing was submitted. Whilst this amended drawing steps the extension back from the front elevation it does not reduce the ridge height of the extension, which would be preferable. However, I do not consider that a refusal of the proposed development would be

sustainable as the impact on the surrounding properties is generally limited. I recommend that the application be approved.
