General Policy 2
General Policy 2 from the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 sets general standards for acceptable development in residential areas. The officer assessed the two-storey extension against it alongside paragraph 8.12.1, finding a presumption in favour where no adverse impacts on neighbours or streetscene occur; the proposal passed due to alignment with building line, matching cladding, and no overdevelopment.
Residential Design Guide 2021
Provides guidance on good neighbourliness and overlooking for residential extensions. The officer specifically considered these aspects, determining no privacy loss as the extension faces a blank neighbour wall, and design integrates with the streetscene of grey-clad properties.
Community Policy 7
Requires consideration of reducing outbreak of fire. The officer noted the extension to an existing dwelling creates no new fire spread issues.
Community Policy 11
Addresses preventing criminal activity. No changes expected from the extension to an existing home.
Infrastructure Policy 5
Concerns water conservation. Proposal will not increase water usage beyond existing dwelling.
Transport Policy 7
Requires adequate parking per Appendix 7. Site retains 3 spaces (one in garage) after extension, sufficient post site visit assessment.
