Residential Policy 1 of Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005
Requires residential development only in designated areas and alterations/extensions to existing property to be sympathetic to the character and appearance of the building and surrounding area. The officer found the porch and dormers sympathetic given the site's limited visual presence and modest scale.
General Policy 2
Permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in scale/form/design, does not adversely affect amenity/character/highway safety, and meets other criteria including services and energy efficiency. The modest proposal respected the residential character with no adverse impacts, supported by para 8.12.1 presuming in favour of non-harmful extensions.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
