Permission was granted for alterations and an extension to the dwelling at 67 Ballaquark, Douglas, along with the creation of garden decking. The application was decided by a delegated Senior Planning Officer in July 2011. The officer assessed the proposal against two main issues: its impact on neighbouring properties and its effect on the street scene. The extension would be positioned to the south of No.68 Ballaquark, set 2.5m from that property's boundary, with the nearest habitable window 2.9m away. The extension projects 600mm onto the existing rear outlet. The proposal was considered acceptable in both respects, with the works set well back from the public highway.

The application was approved by a delegated Senior Planning Officer. The key planning considerations were the impact on neighbouring properties and the effect on the street scene. The extension's position — set 2.5m from the boundary of No.68 and approximately 16m back from the public highway — was found to be acceptable on both counts. The formal decision record lists 2 conditions.
