Officer's Report

The Site

The site represents the domestic curtilage of an existing residential property which sits on the eastern side of Malew Street.

Planning Status

The site lies within an area designated as Predominantly Residential on the Castletown Local Plan which was adopted by Tynwald in 1991 and within the town's Conservation Area.

Planing History

Previously planning permission was granted for the replacement of the existing windows with sliding sashes (PA 02/0409).

The Proposal

Now proposed is the re-finishing of the existing roof with natural slates and the installation of two dormers and two rooflights with one Conservation type in the front elevation. This enables the attic space to be used as an additional bedroom and landing. The rear elevation is some distance from any

public viewpoint, with the new Paradise Court to the rear which does not enable public access around the rear of the building.

Whilst the Fire Prevention Officer expresses concern that a full set of floor plans has not been submitted to enable him to ascertain whether the means of escape is satisfactory, this is a matter for Building Regulations not planning.

Party Status

Fire Prevention Officer represents a statutory authority and as such should be afforded party status in this instance.
