The officer considered the main issues to be impacts on the character and appearance of the property, streetscene, and Proposed Conservation Area.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in scale, form, design (b); not adversely affect townscape character (c); and not harm locality character/amenities (g). Officer found rear changes fail these by creating window-dominant elevation altering proportions and character, despite mixed-use zoning compliance.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving/enhancing Conservation Area character, protecting special features. Assessed against Proposed Port St Mary CA; rear alterations judged to neither preserve nor enhance, increasing negative visual impact from public views despite rear not being principal elevation.
