Officer's Report

Site

The application site forms the residential curtilage of Shell Cottage, Main Road, Sulby, which is a two storey detached property located on the southern side of the Main Road and west of the Sulby Bridge.

Land Use Zoing / Planning Policy

The application site is within the area covered by the Sulby Local Plan Order 1998. Under this the application site is within an area recognised as being in an area of 'predominately residential', the site is not within an area of High Landscape Value or Costal Value and Scenic Significance.

Planning History

There are no previous planning applications which are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application.

Proposal

The application seeks approval for the alterations to vehicular access and front and rear porch.

Representations

Highway Division:- No objection

The Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the application.

Assessment / Recommendation

The proposed two porches are minor alterations which will have no adverse impact upon the residential amenities of the neighbouring properties. Additionally the proposals would be beneficial to the visual appearance of the existing dwelling and/or street scene.

The alterations to the existing vehicular access will improve the visibility splays for vehicles exiting the site onto the public highway, and therefore will improve highway safety to this area of the highway.

For these reasons the proposals would seem appropriate in these locations and therefore my recommendation is for an approval.

Party Status

It is considered that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:
