Dear Ms Callow

Please find appended below the Commissioners’ observations regarding the following planning application: 05/01214/B Conversion of rear barn into living accommodation at the Old Post Office and rear barn also known as Country Cookers & Stoves. Applicant: Country Cookers & Stoves.

Objection

The Commissioners’ state their observations to this application based upon the Planning Committee’s original findings presented at Review.

a) The proposed development would have inadequate external space, limited outlook and a poor immediate environment: the proposed dwelling would also have an unreasonable effect on the privacy and enjoyment of the adjoining dwelling known as “Lambourne Cottage”.

b) There are currently 2 parking spaces available to the shop and associated showroom/store. The proposed conversion, while providing parking to the dwelling, would remove the existing parking facilities available to the shop, which is to be retained as part of the development. The additional on-street parking that would be generated would contribute to the traffic congestion in this area of Kirk Michael Village.

Yours faithfully

Clerk
