The application, submitted by Mr G Kinrade, proposed demolishing the existing garage and outbuildings at a detached dwelling on Mountain Road, Ramsey, and constructing a new double garage alongside additional living accommodation. A rear dormer window to the existing dwelling was also included. The extensions were arranged in two parts, one on either side of the existing house, partly replacing the built development being removed. The key planning issues were whether the extensions would be in keeping with the character of the dwelling and whether they would harm neighbouring properties. The officer concluded the proposal was acceptable and recommended approval, which was granted under delegated authority in May 2005, subject to four conditions.

The proposal was permitted because the extensions were considered to be in keeping with the existing detached dwelling and would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring properties.
