Housing Policy 14
Requires replacement countryside dwellings not substantially different in siting/size from existing (floor area no more than 50% greater) unless environmental improvement; exceptionally allows innovative designs of high quality without adverse visual impact. Previous appeal overrode non-compliance as scheme made positive streetscene contribution; no policy change means same assessment applies.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in scale/form/design/layout and protect residential amenity. Scheme complies as per prior approval findings on visual impact and neighbour amenity.
Housing Policy 12
Presumes in favour of replacement dwellings in countryside if not abandoned or of architectural/historic interest. Existing dwelling qualifies; no changes warrant different decision.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside and ecology. Site near but not in ASSI/bird sanctuary; continued residential use matches existing impacts.
Environment Policy 10 - Development and flood risk
Relates to flood risk. Proposal does not increase on/off-site risk with new drainage system.
Environment Policy 13 - Development and flood risk
Ensures works do not increase flood risk. Site section shows dwelling lower than road; drainage mitigates surface water risk.
Environment Policy 4
Relates to habitats/nature conservation. Nearby protected sites addressed by advisory note; no planning conditions needed.
Time limit

Reason: To safeguard the amenity of neighbouring property.
No extensions or alterations
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development) Order 2025 (or any Order revoking and/or re-enacting that Order with or without modification) no extension, enlargement or other alteration of the dwelling hereby approved, other than that expressly authorised by this approval, shall be carried out, without the prior written approval of the Department.

A neighbouring resident from Balladoyle objects to the time extension for planning application 25/90276/B, citing non-compliance with countryside replacement dwelling size limits and detrimental impacts on their property.
Key concern: replacement dwelling 80% larger than existing, exceeding 50% countryside limit
Balladoyle resident (Fort Island Road, Derbyhaven)
ObjectionThe application is for a replacement dwelling approximately 80% larger than the existing building, contrary to the Island’s planning policy framework. Such replacement dwellings in the countryside are restricted to being no more than 50% larger.; Derbyhaven has been officially confirmed to be in the countryside as far as this rule is concerned.; the much larger, higher and repositioned replacement dwelling would have a substantial detrimental effect on our property next door in terms of light, privacy and outlook.; It appears to us to be extremely wasteful and contrary to that policy to demolish a perfectly good house.
