Environment Policy 1
Requires no development adversely affecting countryside unless overriding national need and no alternative. Officer noted site in countryside/AHLV but found proposal acceptable as it does not harm landscape.
Environment Policy 2
Protects AHLV landscape character unless development non-harmful or essential. Officer tested if tiled roof harms character; concluded it does not due to matching materials, set-down position, and no significant visual impact increase.
Housing Policy 16
Generally no extensions increasing impact of non-traditional/poor form dwellings. Officer assessed the change from glazed to tiled roof; found it acceptable as it matches existing varied roofs and does not increase public-viewed impact.
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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Materials approval
All external roofing materials to be used on the new roof, hereby approved, shall match those of the existing building in respect of colour, finish and manner in which it is laid. No other materials shall be used without first having been submitted to and approved, in writing, by the Department. Reason: In the interests of the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area in accordance with Environment Policy 2 and Housing Policy 16 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
