8 June 2005 · Delegated
Annex, Kionslieu, Patrick Road, St Johns, Isle Of Man, IM4 3bn
This application sought approval in principle to extend an existing dwelling at Kionslieu, Patrick Road, St Johns, to provide additional living accommodation with a separate entrance. The application was decided by delegated authority and was permitted on 8 June 2005. A site visit found the plot to be relatively large and the dwelling well screened from any public viewpoint. The adjacent cottage faces the garden area, with views currently interrupted by coniferous trees, reducing the visual impact on neighbours. The officer noted that the proposed extension would increase the existing footprint by around 53.5%, and recommended that a condition be attached to ensure the extension is used in association with the main dwelling. It was also considered preferable for there to be direct internal access between the existing dwelling and the new extension.

The neighbouring cottage's outlook is also interrupted by existing coniferous trees, limiting any impact on neighbours.
