Section 18(4) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999
Requires development in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character and appearance. Officer assessed proposal as a whole: residential extensions preserve residential character; minimal public views of rear extension, subordinate side extension (step-back, reduced height, dormer, matching materials) has minimal streetscene impact.
Strategic Policy 4
Protects Conservation Areas. Officer found proposal protects and preserves Conservation Area through subordinate design and minimal visual impact.
Environment Policy 35
Development in Conservation Areas permitted where it preserves or enhances character and appearance (para 7.29.2 IOM Strategic Plan). Officer confirmed extensions do not overwhelm host dwelling and preserve area.
Environment Policy 4
Protects species and habitats; development not permitted if adversely affecting conservation sites. Site not in recognised ecological site; bat potential noted but managed via note, not condition.
Environment Policy 5
In exceptional circumstances where development allowed, conditions to conserve/minimise impacts. No survey condition needed; informative note sufficient given site context.
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.
