General Policy 2
General Policy 2 (b) (c) (g) from the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 was listed as materially relevant but not assessed due to the fatal issue of the unlawful extension. The officer did not test the proposal against it as approval could not be granted on an unapproved structure.
Section 4.11 Roof Terraces, Balconies, Decking and Patios (Residential Design Guide)
Residential Design Guide July 2021 Section 4.11 was noted as relevant to roof terraces/balconies but not applied, as the proposal's foundation is unlawful. Similarly, Chapters 5 and 7 on architectural details and neighbour impact were listed but untested.
no objection
A neighbour from Briarwood objects to an unpermitted structure at the hedge line of the application site, while conditionally supporting the balcony if it matches the building and door details are clarified.
Key concern: unauthorised structure at hedge line not shown on plans
Briarwood resident (mother at Briarwood, Main Road, Glen Vine)
Conditional No ObjectionMy mother believes if the balcony construction is in keeping with the rest of the building and more clarification can be provided on what door is to be used, then there should not be a problem.; We would like to understand what is the building being built at the hedge line at Dreemskerry as indicated in the attached photos. This does not appear on the plans as an existing building / shed however a concrete plinth and building blocks to a height of 4 foot now can be clearly seen from the road. Is there a planning application for this?
Conditions requested: balcony construction in keeping with rest of building; clarification on door to be used
