Why Was This Approved?

• ✓Conservatory to the rear of a semi-detached house in a cul-de-sac in Foxdale
• ✓Size and closeness to the shared boundary required obscure glazing as a condition
• ✓Reasonably long rear garden reduces impact on the property behind
• ✓Woodland beyond the garden helps limit any sense of enclosure
• ✓No unacceptable adverse impact on neighbours or the surrounding area
• ✓privacy
• ✓The conservatory being large and close to the boundary with the neighbouring semi should have obscure glazing along this boundary.
• ✓The garden of the property is reasonably long which will help reduce the impact on the property to the rear and there is woodland on the far side of the garden helping to reduce the feeling of enclosure.
• ✓There will be no unacceptable adverse impact on neighbouring properties or on the area in general.

This application sought permission to erect a uPVC conservatory to the rear of a semi-detached house at 18 Sprucewood Rise, Foxdale. The property sits at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Parish of Patrick. The officer noted that the conservatory is relatively large and positioned close to the boundary with the adjoining semi-detached neighbour. To protect privacy, a condition requiring obscure glazing along that shared boundary was attached to the approval. The reasonably long rear garden and the presence of woodland beyond it were considered to reduce the impact on the property to the rear and limit any feeling of enclosure. The application was permitted by delegated decision on 2 August 2005, with four conditions attached, on the basis that there would be no unacceptable adverse impact on neighbouring properties or the area in general.

Permission was granted on 2 August 2005 for the conservatory. The officer concluded there would be no unacceptable adverse impact on neighbouring properties or the wider area. A condition requiring obscure glazing along the shared boundary with the neighbouring semi was imposed to address privacy concerns arising from the conservatory's size and proximity to that boundary.
