Officer's Report

The Application Site

The dwelling, Cair Vie, Windsor Road, Ramsey, is a two storey detached property on a corner plot, with Windsor road to the northwest and Windsor Grove to the southwest of the dwelling.

Planning Policy

The dwelling has been zoned under the Ramsey Local Plan Order 1998 as being within an area of predominately residential; the site is not within a Conservation Area.

Proposal

The application proposes the widening of driveway and access onto highway.

Representations

Ramsey Commissioners advise that they have no objection.

Disability Access Officer:- Whilst this driveway is being done we would ask you to make sure the appropriate dropped kerbs are incorporated.

We have received no privately written representations objecting to the application.

Assessment / Recommendation

The proposal will enable easier access to and form the property. The proposal would also conform to the Departments guidelines, which require 50% of the garden to be retained when extending a driveway. This proposal is a minor alteration and will have no adverse impacts to the detrimental of road safety or to the residential amenity of the neighbouring properties.

For these reasons the proposal would be appropriate in this location and therefore my recommendation is for a refusal.

Party Status

I consider that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:

• Ramsey Commissioners
• Highways Division

I consider that the following parties that made representations to the planning application do not meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should not be afforded interested party status:-

Disability Access Officer
