The proposal amends a recently approved extension by lowering the flat roof height by 0.5m to 2.8m and increasing the footprint, bringing it 1.6m from the rear boundary.
General Policy 2
Requires house extensions to be acceptable without adverse impact on adjacent properties or surrounding area. Officer assessed the amended extension's increased footprint and reduced height as not harmful due to position and scale, visible but neutral in streetscene with similar precedents.
Environment Policy 34
Relates to conservation areas, allowing alterations if no adverse impacts. Tested against Windsor Road Conservation Area; lower height reduces visual impact on terraced row's rear elevations, which already feature varied extensions.
Environment Policy 35
Concerns heritage and conservation, acceptable subject to impacts. Proposal protects character via matching materials and minimal changes beyond prior approval.
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.
Materials matching
All material finishes to the walls shall match the existing in colour and texture, and all new or replacement slates shall be natural slates that match the existing slates in colour and texture. Reason: To protect the character of the building and the Windsor Road Conservation Area in accordance with the Design Guide and General Policies 2, 34 and 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
