The officer assessed the proposal under Section 18(4) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999, requiring developments in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character and appearance.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 is cited alongside Section 18(4) and ENV35 as complied with. The policy supports the assessment that the infill extension's form, mass, and design preserve the Conservation Area and streetscene. No specific tension noted; the small-scale glazed lobby was deemed to fit without harm.
Environment Policy 35
ENV35 requires developments in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character and appearance, per para 7.29.2 of the Strategic Plan. The officer tested the proposal's character (no change to existing shop/forecourt use) and appearance (fits frontage divisions, appropriate in streetscene), concluding it preserves the area with no adverse impact.
Environment Policy 10
ENV10 requires Flood Risk Assessments in Flood Risk Zones. The site is not in a Flood Risk Zone, so no assessment needed.
Environment Policy 22
ENV22 prevents unacceptable harm to the environment or neighbouring amenity. No such harm identified from the minor infill extension.
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.
No permission for signage
Notwithstanding the details provided within this application, no permission is given for the signage shown upon the Drawing No.2, dated received 13th May 2025. Reason: The application has been assessed on the basis of an infill extension to the front elevation and no other details.
After reviewing this Application, Highway Services HDC finds it to have no significant negative impact upon highway safety, network functionality and/or parking as there will still be some parking retained with the entrance lobby proposals.
