THE APPLICATION SITE AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The application site comprises the curtilage of a detached dwelling that is located on King Edward Road in Onchan. The proposed development comprises of the erection of a garage with ancillary accommodation above in the rear garden of the dwelling.
Whilst the application site has been subject of a number of previous planning applications there is only one that I consider specifically material to the assessment of the current planning application. Planning application 05/01797/B sought approval for the erection of a garage with ancillary accommodation above on the application site. This previous planning application was initially considered and refused on the 11th November 2005, with the initial refusal decision notice issued on the 22nd November 2005. The Planning Committee confirmed the refusal at review on the 10th February 2006, with the review refusal decision notice issued on the 20th February 2006. The Minister subsequently accepted the recommendation of an appointed Planning Inspector and approved the planning application on the 5th June 2006.
Onchan District Commissioners recommend that the planning application be approved.
The Department of Transport Highways Division do not opposed the planning application.
The application site is within an area recognised as being within predominantly residential use under the Onchan Local Plan.
Policy O/RES/P/21 of the written statement (Planning Circular 1/2000) that accompanies the Onchan Local Plan states:
"Extensions and alterations to existing residential property will generally not be opposed where such proposals are appropriate in terms of scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property."
The development proposed by the planning application takes the form of previous planning application 05/01797/B, albeit with amendments to take account of the conditions that were imposed on that previous planning application. The applicant could legitimately make submissions to address the proposed development by means of the previous application. However, for whatever reason they have chosen not to do this and to submit the current planning application, which is also a legitimate course of action. Due to the conclusions and outcome of the previous planning application I have to conclude that the proposed development is acceptable. I therefore recommend that the planning application be approved.
I consider that all parties that made representations to the planning application meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status.
