Erection of first floor extension above existing ground floor rear extension; installation of dormer window to rear roof slope.

Refusal Reasons

• ✗The proposed development involving the erection of the first floor flat-roofed rear extension is unacceptable because it would result in a poorly designed addition to the existing end terraced dwelling contrary to the advice contained in paragraph 4.7.8 of the 2021 Residential Design Guide (RDG)... contrary to the advice contained in paragraphs 4.7.6 to 4.7.8 in the 2021 Residential Design Guide; and, to the provisions of Policy GP2 b) and c) in the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
• ✗The proposed first floor extension is unacceptable because it would be sited along the common boundary with the attached terraced dwelling at No. 38 St German's Place... contrary to the advice contained in paragraphs 4.6.1 to 4.6.12 in the 2021 Residential Design Guide. It would also fail to accord with the provisions of Policies GP2 g) and ENV23 in the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
• ✗The proposed insertion of a dormer window in the rear roof-slope is unacceptable because it would result in an incongruous feature... contrary to the advice contained in paragraphs 4.10.3 to 4.10.6 in the 2021 Residential Design Guide, and to the provisions of Policy GP2 b) and c) in the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016. Furthermore... This would be contrary to the advice contained in paragraphs 4.10.3 to 4.10.6 in the 2021 Residential Design Guide, and to the provisions of Policy GP2 g) and ENV23 in the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
