Strategic Policy 4
Seeks to protect or enhance Conservation Areas. The officer assessed that the demolitions would have minimal impact and not harm the Laxey Conservation Area's character.
Environment Policy 35
Requires protection of the character and quality of Conservation Areas against inappropriate development. Demolitions were found acceptable as the extensions do not contribute positively.
Environmental Policy 39
Seeks to retain buildings that make a positive contribution to the Conservation Area (per para 7.32.2). The side extensions were deemed not to contribute due to age and makeup, justifying demolition.
Time limit
The works hereby granted registered building consent shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this consent. Reason: To comply with paragraph 2(2)(a) of schedule 3 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented registered building consents.
