General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; avoids adverse amenity, character, highways impacts; and preserves Conservation Area features.

Environment Policy 35
ENV35 requires development in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character/appearance and protect special features. The flat-roofed extension matching existing 1930s design, porch respecting architecture, and retained open space were deemed to preserve Laxey Conservation Area character without cramped or harmful appearance, unlike the prior larger scheme.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
