Onchan Local Plan 2000 Policy O/RES/P/20
Requires at least three parking spaces per dwelling including garage; permission not generally for extensions/conversions losing parking behind building line. Proposal lost garage parking, contrary to policy and objected by Highways/Commissioners, but officer found on-street parking adequate given site constraints and observations, tipping balance to acceptable.
Policy O/RES/P/21 of the Onchan Local Plan (Planning Circular 1/2000)
Extensions/alterations not opposed if appropriate in scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property. Proposal deemed compliant as it matched white uPVC on adjoining Nos.17/19, did not unduly affect public amenity, and was minor rear alteration.

Permits development respecting site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design, not adversely affecting amenity, character, highways/parking or Conservation Area. Proposal met criteria: adequate parking via highway, no amenity/highway harm, appropriate design/scale.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving/enhancing Conservation Area character. Rear location avoided public harm; uPVC matched neighbours; not original features; deemed to preserve area.
