General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in scale, form, design; does not adversely affect townscape character; and does not harm local residents' amenity. The site is zoned 'Predominantly Residential' in Douglas Local Plan 1998. Officer assessed the dormer against (b), (c), and (g), finding it acceptable due to existing dormers in the street scene despite design incongruity, and minimal privacy impact.
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.
