The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007, focusing on visual amenities and neighbour impact.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in line with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, form, design; does not harm landscape/townscape character, amenities, or privacy; and provides satisfactory standards. The officer tested the roof raise against criteria (b) form/design, (c) townscape character, and (g) neighbour amenities, finding compliance due to minimal visual changes, boundary screening, and reduced mass versus existing house.
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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Obscure glazing
Obscure glazing (Pilkington level 5 or equivalent) shall be installed in the north west elevation of the upper floor bedroom window and shall be maintained as such thereafter. Reason: To preserve the amenities of the occupants of the adjacent dwelling.
