Land Adjoining Far End, King Edward Road, Onchan, Isle Of Man, IM3 2au
Permission was granted for a residential development on land at the western end of King Edward Road in Onchan. The proposal involved creating plots for four detached dwellings, along with associated roads, drainage, and a new access point. The site at the time contained a two-storey detached dwelling and an adjacent area of open land. The application was considered by the Planning Committee of the Department of Local Government and the Environment, which approved it on 11 March 2008, in line with the case officer's recommendation. The permission was granted subject to two conditions. The site has a notable planning history, with six previous applications recorded.
The Planning Committee approved the application on 11 March 2008. The officer also recommended approval. Two conditions were attached to the permission.
The site, adjacent to 'Far End' will be considered suitable for the development of a maximum of three new dwellings. Development must respond to the natural contours of the site and must avoid unnecessary underbuilding or building up of the floor levels. Development must retain and enhance the public footpath which runs through the site. Access to the site must be in the form of a single cul-de-sac from King Edward Road with no gradient of any road or drive to exceed 1 in 10. Car parking must be provided at a ratio of at least three spaces per dwelling where at least one of these is provided and retained behind the building line
proposal accords with the maximum number of permissible dwellings and that access arrangements follow the stated cul-de-sac layout with driveways not exceeding a 1 in 10 gradient
The erection of new residential properties may be permitted within areas designated for residential use where these would fit in with the density, massing, design and character of existing adjacent dwellings
Taking this into account with policies O/RES/P/9 and O/RES/P/19 of the Onchan Local Plan it has to be concluded that the principle of residential development on the application site is established
