1.0 THE SITE - 1.1 The application site is the curtilage of a building site for a dwelling house that sits adjacent to Ballagarey Lodge. The dwelling house is under construction and its built form is in place with internal works and landscaping works ongoing. The application site sits to the west of the highway. - 1.2 The previously approved garage measures a footprint of 6m wide x 7.5 m long on site that sits to the north west of the dwelling house. The garage was designed with a pitch tiled roof and gable on to the highway with a single up/over garage door. To the rear is a stair case up to the first floor eaves accommodation that was to be a games room above the whole garage.
2.0 THE PROPOSAL - 2.1 The proposed extension is to the rear of the garage towards the rear boundary and would measure the 6m wide but would now be 11m long so an increase of 3.5m. Internally the space above the garage would be kept open for the majority and a small section created as a mezzanine floor over the new part. - 2.2 The external finish would remain the same as previously approved; smooth painted render and a slate pitch tiled roof.
3.0 PLANNING POLICY In terms of local plan policy, the application site is within an area recognised as being predominantly residential use under the Area Plan for the East. - 3.1 The site is not within a designated Conservation Area or within an area identified as being at floor risk from tidal or surface water flooding. There are no registered trees / tree areas identified on / adjacent to the application site. - 3.2 The Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 contains the following policies that are considered specifically material to the assessment of this application;
General Policy 2 - General development considerations
3.3 The Strategic Plan also states: "8.12.1 Extensions to Dwellings in built up areas or sites designated for residential use 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." - 3.4 Other Material Considerations; Residential Design Guidance (2021)
This document provides advice on the design of new houses and extensions to existing property as well as how to assess the impact of such development on the living conditions of those in adjacent residential properties and sustainable methods of construction.
4.0 PLANNING HISTORY - 4.1 21/00844/B - Erection of a detached dwelling and detached garage with living accommodation above.
5.0 REPRESENTATIONS (in brief) - 5.1 Marown Commissioners (22/07/22) with no objection. - 5.2 Highways Services commented (09/08/22) with no objection
6.0 ASSESSMENT - 6.1 The fundamental issues to consider in the assessment of this planning application are;
6.2 The principle of a extending at the rear of the garage to replicate the built form as previously approved, in terms of height and width is an acceptable form of development for increasing floor area to the garage that would not erode the remaining amenity space of the site. - 6.3 The design of the proposed garage would remain unaltered except the rear extension and whilst this would be introducing a larger built massing / form the rear extension would be considered proportionate to garage and the dwellinghouse which would be considered complimentary in terms of visual amenity. - 6.4 These design attributes help the visual amenity of the garage to remain subordinate to the dwellinghouse and designed to serve that specific purpose with the general fenestration being in keeping throughout the existing character. When finished to match the existing dwellinghouse in terms of materials and colour it will ensure the built forms are complementary to the character and appearance of the dwellinghouse. - 6.5 (ii) Neighbouring amenities With regard to the above, the level and scale of development to extend the garage to the rear are considered to be relatively minor and not judged to cause harm to the enjoyment of the neighbouring amenity. On balance, these aspects would be considered to be compliant with those sections of General Policy 2(g).
