The officer concluded the single-storey rear extension accords with policy O/RES/P/21 of the Onchan Local Plan (Planning Circular 1/2000) and General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
Policy O/RES/P/21 of the Onchan Local Plan (Planning Circular 1/2000)
Policy states extensions and alterations to existing residential property will generally not be opposed where appropriate in terms of scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property. The single-storey rear extension was assessed as appropriate with no undue impact on adjoining properties due to existing boundary walls and remaining yard space.
General Policy 2
Policy permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; does not adversely affect amenity, character, highway safety, or neighbouring land. The proposal was found compliant as it has no impact on public amenity, highway safety, or neighbouring private amenity, and is in a residential area. Paragraph 8.12.1 presumes in favour of extensions in built-up areas without adverse impacts.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
