28 November 2005 · Committee
Bluebell Cottage, Patrick Road, St. Johns, Isle Of Man, IM4 3bn
Permission was granted for a side extension to Bluebell Cottage on Patrick Road, St Johns, to provide additional living accommodation. The application was decided by the Planning Committee on 28 November 2005, in line with the officer's recommendation to permit. The officer's assessment considered whether the proposal would result in overdevelopment of the site, contribute to creeping development, or reduce amenity. The site is the curtilage of an existing building on the northern side of Patrick Road, with limited space alongside the dwelling. Neighbouring properties had been extended considerably over time. Despite these considerations, the application was permitted with two conditions attached to the approval.
The Planning Committee permitted the side extension at Bluebell Cottage. The officer had recommended approval, and the committee's decision aligned with that recommendation. Key concerns considered included whether the extension would represent overdevelopment of the site, creeping development over time, or a reduction in amenity, but these were not found to prevent approval.
