Residential Policy 1 of Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005
Requires residential development only in designated areas and alterations/extensions to be sympathetic to the character of the building and surroundings. The modest garage conversion was assessed as sympathetic and compliant with the residential zoning.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design, not adversely affect character, amenity, access/parking, or road safety. The proposal was found to meet criteria (b), (c), (g), (h), (i) due to its modest scale, matching window, and existing parking.
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.
