General Policy 3
Restricts development outside zoned areas except for replacement dwellings (Housing Policies 12-14). The site is open space/countryside; proposal qualifies as replacement but officer notes non-compliance with size/siting unless environmentally improved, mitigated by prior approval and screening.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside from adverse effects unless overriding need and no alternative. Officer assesses visual impact as mitigated by mature screening and proposed planting despite large scale, aligning with Minister's prior view that existing bungalow has greater impact.
Housing Policy 14
Replacement dwellings must match existing footprint/size (max 50% larger), traditional design per Planning Circular 3/91, unless improved environmental impact. Proposal exceeds limits and lacks vernacular proportions, but prior approval and material/design changes (Manx stone, slate) accepted as less visually prominent than rendered alternative.
Housing Policy 12
Applicable to rural replacements alongside HP14; no specific assessment but grouped under replacement exceptions to GP3.
Time limit
The development hereby approved must be commenced prior to 28th May 2018. Reason: To accord with the terms of the approval in principle, PA 13/91094/A.
Landscaping implementation
All planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping must be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the completion of the development or the occupation of the dwellings, whichever is the sooner. Any trees or plants which within a period of five years from the completion of the development die, are removed, or become seriously damaged or diseased must be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species. REASON: the landscaping of the site is an integral part of the scheme and must be implemented as approved.
