Permission was granted for single-storey rear extensions to two adjoining dwellings at 22 and 23 Westminster Terrace, Douglas, Isle of Man. The application was decided under delegated powers on 22 October 2007. The officer's assessment focused on the impact on neighbouring properties, particularly nos. 21 and 24 Westminster Terrace, as well as the visual amenity of the street scene and the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. The proposed extension at the rear was noted to project 3.2m beyond the rear elevation of the neighbouring outrigger, though the neighbouring property already had a conservatory extending 2m along the shared boundary. The application was approved with three conditions attached.

The application was approved on 22 October 2007. The officer assessed the impact on neighbouring properties and the street scene and recommended approval, which was granted under delegated powers.
