Officer assessed that the extensions to an existing traditional dwelling would not adversely affect countryside amenities due to controlled size, form and positioning.
Environment Policy 2
Prioritises protection of Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance (AHLVs) unless no harm to landscape character or location essential. Site in AHLV; officer found porch subordinate and garage mitigated by topography and positioning, showing no harm to landscape character.
Housing Policy 15
Extensions to traditional countryside properties must respect proportion, form and appearance; exceptional approval only if not exceeding 50% of existing floorspace. Officer confirmed proposal respects these for the Manx Cottage, with appropriate size and proportions not destroying character.
