General Policy 2
Requires developments to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design/landscaping (b); not adversely affect character of landscape/townscape (c); not harm amenity of residents or locality character (g). Officer tested rear extension's scale (2.55m x 2.9m flat roof), visibility, neighbour impacts (light/privacy/overbearing), and materials match, finding compliance as not highly visible and no amenity harm.
Paragraph 8.12.1 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan
General presumption in favour of extensions to existing property in built-up areas (not Conservation/Registered Building) where no adverse impact on adjacent property or surrounding area. Officer applied this directly, noting rear siting, limited public visibility, and no neighbour amenity harm tipped balance to approval despite neutral character impact.
