General Policy 2
General Policy 2 parts (b), (c) and (g) were applied due to the site's established residential nature despite Predominantly Tourist zoning in the Braddan Local Plan. The policy tests relate to development control in such areas, focusing on character, appearance, and amenity. The officer found the proposal compliant as the tiled roof reduces visual impact and matches the dwelling, with no adverse effects given the site's screening and limited public visibility.
Paragraph 8.12.1 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007
This paragraph supports assessment alongside GP2 for residential development in tourist areas. The officer used it to justify treating the site as residential, confirming the minor roof replacement as acceptable without harming character or amenity.
