Officer's Report

The site represents the domestic curtilage of an existing dwelling situated on the corner of Ballacriy Park on the first corner on the left as one enters Ballacriy Park. The existing dwelling is a detached bungalow.

Proposed here is the demolition of the existing garage which lies to the west of the house and gains access from the estate road by a driveway to the west of the bungalow. Also proposed is the erection of a new garage to the south east of the bungalow with a new driveway gaining access from the estate road to the south east of the property.

Also proposed is the erection of sun lounge on the southern elevation, replacement windows (which do not require planning permission as the property is relatively new) and the rendering over of the existing brickwork.

The sun lounge is relatively modest – 4m by 3.6m and is some 22m from the closest property which is to the south (which also appears to be within the control of the applicant).

There do not appear to be any objections to the proposals which in my view do not have any adverse impact on the property or its surroundings.
