General Policy 2
GP2 requires development to respect the character, pattern and form of the surrounding area. The officer assessed the window/door changes, driveway widening, and rear extension against this, finding them in keeping with the residential character and streetscene, with no overbearing impact on neighbours.
Paragraph 8.12.1 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan
This paragraph relates to residential development considerations. The officer concluded the proposal complies, noting the extension is smaller than permitted development allowances and parking benefits outweigh visual concerns from hardstanding.
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.
Parking and turning areas
The development hereby approved shall not be occupied or operated until the parking and turning areas have been provided in accordance with the approved plans. Such areas shall not be used for any purpose other than the parking and turning of vehicles associated with the development and shall remain free of obstruction for such use at all times. Reason: To ensure that sufficient provision is made for off-street parking and turning of vehicles in the interests of highway safety.
No Objection (dated 01/08/2018)
DNO - Do Not Oppose (dated 23/07/2018).
