Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside (land outside settlements or not designated for development) from adverse development unless overriding national need and no alternative. Officer assessed the first floor extension would not adversely affect countryside due to limited visibility, good design, and screening.
Housing Policy 16
Generally prohibits extensions to non-traditional dwellings or those of poor/inappropriate form if increasing public visual impact. Despite the house not being traditional Manx vernacular, the well-proportioned extension with cat slide roof and modest mass increase was found compliant as it does not unacceptably increase impact.
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.
