Tel 01624 685950 On balance, it is considered the proposal would be acceptable, having no significant adverse impacts upon the surrounding landscape, agricultural land, private or public amenities, and biodiversity. While the proposal does not meet the exemptions outlined under General Policy 3 (GP3), it aligns with the established residential character of the site and formalizes an existing boundary. The curtilage extension remains visually unobtrusive, enclosed within existing boundary treatments, and does not disrupt the broader countryside setting. As such, the proposal broadly complies with Environment Policy 1, General Policy 3, and Spatial Policy 4 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
