The proposal involves adding a 200mm diameter black cylindrical twin wall flue pipe protruding from the south (side) elevation of the semi-detached dwelling, extending to ridge level, east of the premises, for a wood burning stove. The site is set back 30m from the main road in a residential area.

The officer assessed the impact on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and surrounding area/street scene as the fundamental issues.
Residential Policy 1 of Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005
Requires alterations/extensions to existing properties in residential areas to be sympathetic to the character/appearance of the building and surroundings. The officer noted the site is in a predominantly residential area and considered the flue's modest scale and side location sympathetic, with no significant visual impact.
General Policy 2
Permits development in accordance with Area Plan zoning if it respects site/surroundings (siting/layout/scale/design), does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character, and does not harm local residents' amenity/locality character. Assessed as compliant due to non-significant impact from side/ridge positioning and domestic nature.
Environment Policy 22
Prohibits development causing unacceptable harm via airborne emissions/pollution to amenity. The flue's distance (40m) from neighbour, ridge height, and mature trees ensure adequate smoke discharge without detriment.
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.
