Officer's Report

THE APPLICATION SITE AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The application site comprises the curtilage of a detached dwelling that is located on Lheaney Road in Ramsey. The proposed development comprises of the erection of a conservatory onto the front of the dwelling to replace an existing sun lounge. PLANNING HISTORY

The application site has not been the subject of any previous planning applications that are considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application.

REPRESENTATIONS At the time of writing this report no representations had been received. PLANNING POLICY

In terms of strategic plan policy, although the Isle of Man Strategic Plan contains policies identifying general planning considerations that are applicable to the assessment of a planning application it is considered that there are no specific policies within the plan that are material to the assessment of this current planning application.

In terms of local plan policy, the application site is within an area recognised as being within predominantly residential use under the Ramsey Local Plan Order 1998. There are no policies with Planning Circular 2/99, the

written statement that accompanies the local plan, considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application.

ASSESSMENT

The planning application seeks approval for the erection of a conservatory onto the front of the dwelling to replace an existing sun lounge.

Whilst the erection of a conservatory onto the front elevation of a dwelling is slightly unusual it is considered that the impact in this instance is suitably limited.

It is recommended that the planning application be approved.
