Officer's Report

The site represents a small piece of land between the existing Post Office building on the corner of the Promenade and Bay View Road within an area of Predominantly Tourist Accommodation on the 1982 Plan.

Redevelopment proposals have been approved on the site to the north east (PAs 04/00389, 05/0558 and 05/01265).

Approval in principle was granted for the erection of a family flat on the site adjacent to Cornaa under PA 03/0772. The conditions of that approval required that the flat may be occupied only in association with "Cornaa" and that no approval was implied or granted to the sketch scheme and that consultation with the Planning Officer was recommended. I am not aware that such consultations took place.

The proposed flat will have a garage at ground floor level and a lounge and dining room/kitchen on the first floor with two bedrooms on the second floor and a study in the attic. The elevations are the same as those submitted with the aip and are a smaller scale version of the building alongside ("Cornaa") with a dormer. No details are given on the windows: the small size of the apertures will demand a slim section of whatever is proposed: a thick plastic frame will look out of place and clumsy.

Defer for the views of the PSM and DoT.

DoT views now received with no objection.
