The application sought permission to erect a balcony and install French doors to the rear elevation of a two-storey detached dwelling to the rear of Garey Veg, Mount Rule Road, Strang, Douglas. The site is on the western side of Mount Rule Road. There was an initial concern about potential overlooking of the neighbouring property at 16 Jubilee Terrace. However, due to the distance, orientation of the dwellings, and balcony siting, it was assessed to have no adverse impact on neighbouring amenities or the visual appearance of the dwelling or street scene. The officer recommended approval, and the application was permitted under delegated powers.
