Decision & Reasoning

Approved5 June 2017

The officer concluded the proposal respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, and design, complying with General Policy 2 (b) and (c) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan…

Policies Assessed (1)

GP2

General Policy 2

GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/form/design (b), does not harm landscape/townscape character (c), and protects resident amenity/locality character (g). Officer tested front/rear dormer extensions and single-storey rear addition against these, finding them subservient, matching existing features, and non-detrimental due to modest scale and materials. No tensions noted; presumption in para 8.12.1 for extensions without adverse impacts applied.
