The officer assessed four elements separately against General Policy 2 and Community Policy 6 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.
General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design/landscaping, not adversely affect townscape character, resident amenity, provide safe access/parking, and not unacceptably impact road safety/traffic. Officer found proposal compliant as elements were minor scale, complementary design (e.g. canopy uplift), set back/hidden, with parking need justifying open space loss.
Community Policy 6
Permits healthcare extensions if no overconcentration, unacceptable effect on residential/prevailing character/amenity, easily accessible, and no unacceptable highway impact. Officer welcomed mortuary and ambulance station as important facilities, with no overconcentration issues, designs unobjectionable, and access improvements.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
No strong argument in retaining the tree; removal has little or no significant or detrimental impact
No objection to the amended plans
