The officer supported removal of the existing porch because it is 'somewhat cumbersome', 'top-heavy', and has a 'somewhat domineering impact on the Inn as a whole'.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 applies as the proposal accords with the Local Plan zoning for public house use. The officer confirmed the scheme complies with this and other relevant policies. No specific tests or tensions noted.
TYNWALD/P/1
Policy requires no development that prejudices the setting of Tynwald Hill or the annual ceremony. The small-scale porch replacement was assessed as not impacting this nationally significant area adjacent to the site.
Environment Policy 40
Prohibits development damaging or detracting from ancient monuments or their setting. The proposal's enhancement to the building's appearance was found not to detract from Tynwald Hill's setting.
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.
