General Policy 2
General Policy 2 from the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016, along with paragraph 8.12.1, sets a presumption in favour of extensions or alterations to existing properties provided they do not adversely affect adjacent properties or the surrounding area. The officer tested the terrace expansion, dormer cladding, and window alterations against this, finding the scale and design acceptable with no harm to amenity or character due to the corner plot location and consistent styling. Residential Design Guidance 2021 was also a material consideration, particularly on design and good neighbourliness, and found complied with.
