The application site represents the curtilage of the existing property 10 Willow Close, Ballawattleworth Estate, Peel, a two storey terrace dwelling with relatively large side and rear gardens.
The application site is located within an area identified as being of “Residential Use” by the Peel Local Plan adopted by Tynwald in 1989. Within the adopted Isle of Man Strategic Plan, the following policy is considered relevant:
“Development which is in accordance with the land-use zoning and proposals in the appropriate Area Plan and with other policies of this Strategic Plan will normally be permitted, provided that the development:
Paragraph 8.12.1 which states:
"As a general policy, in built up areas not controlled by Conservation Area or Registered Building policies, there will be a general presumption in favour of extensions to existing property where such extensions would not have an adverse impact on either adjacent property or the surrounding area in general".
There have been no previous planning applications relating specifically to this property.
This application seeks approval for the erection of a two storey extension to the side elevation of the property to create a utility and dining room on the ground floor and two bedrooms on the first floor of the property. The extension would be set back from the front elevation by 300mm and would be finished to match the existing property in all respects.
The Department of Transport Highways Division does not oppose this application. Peel Town Commissioners have not commented on this application. Mr Crookall MHK has requested that he be kept informed of this and all other planning applications in the Peel area.
The application site is within an area recognised as being of residential use by the Peel Local Plan and as such the principle of extending the property is acceptable. An assessment must be made as to whether the proposed development is in accordance with General Policy 2 and Paragraph 8.12.1 set out above.
It is judged that the proposed extension is a relatively typical type of residential development seen on many estates across the Island. The set back from the front elevation and the step down in roof level would act to provide a visual reference that the building has been extended. The use of materials as proposed, which would match the existing dwelling, are considered to be appropriate.
In terms of neighbouring properties, the proposed extension would be set back from the nearest neighbouring property so as to afford sufficient separation distance and protect the amenity of the occupiers of that property. Parking provision to serve the property would remain unchanged and as such would continue to comply with the current standards set out within the Strategic Plan.
It is judged that the proposed development is acceptable and accordingly it is recommended that this application be approved.
