The officer considered the fundamental issues to be the potential impacts on the character and appearance of Regent House and the wider street scene in Upper Cronk Orry cul-de-sac.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design (b), does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character (c), and does not adversely affect residential amenity or locality character (g). The officer assessed the chimney reduction against these criteria, finding minimal impact on the streetscene and no adverse effects on character or amenity. The site's Predominantly Residential zoning in Laxey and Lonan Local Plan 2005 was noted as supportive.
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.
