Housing Policy 16
HP16 restricts extensions to non-traditional dwellings or those of poor/inappropriate form if they increase public visual impact. The officer determined the modern bungalow qualifies as non-traditional but the proposal complies due to 77m distance from road, screening by bank/trees, 1.5m setback, matching ridge height to bungalow, and superior materials (stone, slate) replacing a poor modern garage, ensuring no increased impact.

Jurby Parish Commissioners
ObjectionProposed extensions are an over intensification of the area.; The area surrounding the existing property has a high water table and the run off from surface water from the proposed development would only add to these problems.; Should the Planning Committee approve the proposed development, a condition should be added that the first floor area above the garage is not to be converted to living accommodation at a later date.
