General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in residential zones that respects site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design and does not adversely affect locality character or resident amenity. The officer tested the sunroom and lift shaft against criteria (b), (c) and (g), finding the proposals acceptable due to limited visibility, matching finishes, and no amenity harm. The lift shaft's unusual design was tolerated given its small scale and screening.
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.
Materials matching
The external finishes of the lift shaft shall match those of the existing building in respect of type, colour and finish. Reason: In the interest of the appearance of the building in accordance with General Policy 2 of the IOM Strategic Plan.
