Officer's Report
The application site is an existing playground facility within Kirk Michael. The application is to provide new equipment.
In terms of visual impact, the structures are set back from the main road. The dome climber is set behind the existing telephone exchange. I therefore consider the proposal will not harm the character and appearance of the proposed conservation area.
In respect of the impact on Railway Cottage, which I situated to the north of the proposed Dome climber, the structure would be situated next to the garden/vegetable patch of this property. I am concerned that the proposed structure would cause some impact from overlooking when the structure is in use. However, I consider a condition requiring additional landscaping along that particular part of the boundary would help to prevent any overlooking from occurring.
