Housing Policy 16
HP16 applies to extensions of non-traditional or unusual rural dwellings like Spindrift. The officer gave it greatest weight, finding the proposal complied as the extension balanced massing without creating a new dwelling, using acceptable materials to mitigate visual impact in countryside.
Landscape Proposal 9
Prohibits additional new built development (other than ancillary to existing properties) alongside the coastal road between Shore Hotel and Pooil Vaaish Farm. The ancillary guest accommodation over existing garage was considered not to conflict, protecting the area's appearance.
Landscape Strategy E9
Seeks to conserve tranquil coastal character, ecological habitats, panoramic views, and setting of Port St. Mary. The extension's design and materials were assessed as acceptable without harming key views or character in this undulating lowland plain.
Area with building height restrictions (Ronaldsway Airport)
Requires control of development height to avoid interference with airport operations. The proposal's height was noted as controlled, with no specific issues raised.

Ancillary use only
The extension hereby approved shall not be occupied at any time other than for purposes incidental to the residential use of the dwelling known as Spindrift, Pooilvaaish Road, Gansey as identified on the approved plans, and shall not at any time be occupied as an independent dwelling unit.
