Environment Policy 2
Policy protects Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value (AHLV), prioritising landscape character unless development does not harm it or location is essential. Officer assessed the proposal does not harm landscape character due to scale, design, materials, distance from viewpoints, and screening, allowing approval in this AHLV.
Environment Policy 36
Policy permits development outside but close to Conservation Area boundaries only if no detrimental effect on important views in/out. Officer found 400m minimum distance from Maughold Conservation Area sufficient to avoid unacceptable impact on views, despite parish objection.
Housing Policy 15
Policy approves extensions to traditional countryside properties if respecting proportion, form and appearance, exceptionally over 50% floorspace. Officer noted proposal respects traditional form of dwelling via matching materials and scale, though not explicitly quantifying floorspace.

The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
