Conservation Area Policy 4 of Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005
Requires special attention in Conservation Areas to preserve/enhance character per Act. Proposal complies despite UPVC, as it matches existing and adjacent features without detriment.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in scale/form/design, not harm townscape/amenity/road safety/flood risk. Satisfied due to in-keeping design, no amenity harm, and modest scale.
Environment Policy 10
Requires flood risk assessment in potential flood areas. Not required here as modest scale judged not to increase flood risk in 200-year zone.
