General Policy 3
General Policy 3 restricts development in countryside areas. The officer found an exception applies as 'the extended residential curtilage is extremely small and reasonably affected by the usage of the house'; the small increase beyond prior redline boundaries does not encroach on countryside.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 requires development to respect character, amenities, and landscape. Assessed compliant due to no negative impact on area character (shielded by trees), neighbouring amenities (no overbearing/overshadowing/overlooking), and located in AHLV.
Strategic Policy 3 - To respect the character of our towns and villages
Strategic Policy 3 is materially relevant to countryside development principle. The garage extension deemed acceptable in principle given limited curtilage change.
Environment Policy 1
Environment Policy 1 protects landscape value in AHLVs. Proposal has no impact on character due to tree screening and subservient extension to existing structure.
Environment Policy 2
Environment Policy 2 relates to environmental protection. No specific issues raised; compliant with landscape considerations.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Ancillary use only
The garage hereby approved shall only be used in association with the main dwelling house "Grand View" and for purposes incidental to the use of main dwelling house "Grand View" as a single dwelling for no commercial purposes and only in accordance with the internal layout shown on plan D/7831/10 received on the 28.04.2023. Reason: To ensure that the proposal remains available to meet the identified need associated with Grand View; avoiding any future fragmentation of the curtilage and being used separately from the main dwelling house which would result in an unacceptable impact upon living amenities to the main dwelling house "Grand View".

No CommentThere is insufficient information to establish the extent of the works in relation to the property and its boundaries to determine any requirements.; Allowing surface water runoff onto a public highway would contravene Section 58 of the Highway Act 1986 and guidance contained in section 11.3.11 of the Manual for Manx Roads.
