Residential Policy 1 of Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005
From Laxey and Lonan Area Plan 2005, permits alterations and extensions to existing property in residential areas if sympathetic to the character and appearance of the building and surroundings. The officer found the proposal sympathetic, as the extensions replace a detracting conservatory, are subordinate, and screened, preserving character.
General Policy 2
From Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016, permits development in line with area plans if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design/landscaping, does not harm landscape/townscape character, incorporates topography/trees, protects amenities, and provides safe access without affecting road safety. Assessed compliant due to subordinate scale, screening, topography integration, no amenity or highway impacts; tree removal acceptable given site context.
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.
Removal of conservatory
All aspects of the existing conservatory are required to be removed, prior to the commencement of any works to the extension hereby approved. Reason: In the interest of the visual appearance of the existing property.
