39, Linden Gardens, Douglas, Isle Of Man, IM2 6ab
The application sought permission for a loft conversion at 39 Linden Gardens, Douglas, including a dormer window to the rear elevation with PVC windows. The site sits within an area designated as predominantly residential use under the Douglas Local Plan 1998. The key planning issues were whether the dormer would cause overlooking to neighbouring properties and whether it would be visually out of keeping with the existing house. The officer concluded that the rear dormer would not create any additional overlooking and that the materials and finishes were in keeping with the existing dwelling. No adverse impact on the host property, adjacent properties, or the wider area was identified, and no private representations were received.
The dormer window to the rear elevation was judged not to cause additional overlooking to neighbouring properties and not to look out of keeping with the existing house. The materials and finishes were considered appropriate.
