Officer's Report

The site represents the domestic curtilage of an existing dwelling at the end of the cul de sac of Pairk Beg within the built up and relatively modern part of Port Erin. The existing property is a detached dormer bungalow with attached flat roofed garage.

Proposed here is the upward extension of the garage to provide an artist's studio in the roofspace. This will be provided by an extension of the existing pitched roof over the main part of the house and the provision of a new dormer in the front elevation and rooflights in the rear pitch.

The physical changes to the building do not have any adverse impact on the property or its neighbours and the proposed use, providing it is incidental to the main residential use of the site, is also unobjectionable and there are no objections to the proposal.

The Fire Officer raises concern in respect of the clarification of means of access to and from the new accommodation, however, this is an internal matter and not material to the planning process.
