The officer assessed the proposal against Housing Policy 15, which normally limits extensions of traditional countryside properties to 50% of the original floor area but allows exceptions.
Isle of Man Strategic Plan Policy 15
Requires extensions to traditional countryside properties to respect proportion, form and appearance, normally limiting to 50% of existing floor space but allowing exceptions. Officer interpreted 'existing building' as pre-previous approval original to avoid incremental development, but granted exception (101% total) due to modest scale, visual enhancement by replacing poor extension, and no public visibility.
Housing Policy 16
Applies to non-traditional or poor form dwellings, prohibiting extensions increasing public impact. Officer considered but rejected applicability as the property is traditional Manx farmhouse, despite prior poor extension; Policy 15 used instead.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
