General Policy 2
General Policy 2 (b, c, g) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 requires development to respect the character and appearance of its surroundings, protect visual amenity, and safeguard features of architectural or historic interest.

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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
