The officer gave significant weight to the previous approval (06/00981/REM) for a very similar scheme, despite the new Isle of Man Strategic Plan requiring fresh assessment under Housing Policy 14.
Housing Policy 14
Requires replacement dwellings generally not more than 50% larger than original footprint, sited on existing footprint, designed per Policies 2-7 of Planning Circular 3/91, with exceptions for replacing poor form dwellings with traditional character or reduced visual impact. Officer found 59% increase acceptable as existing was poor form with structural issues; proposal sited on footprint, matches traditional design, screened site reduces impact.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Approved plans
This approval relates to the erection of a replacement dwelling with new septic tank (comprising amendments to 06/00981/REM) as proposed in the submitted documents and drawings PLAN A, PLAN B and 27.1.06 REV A all received on 23rd July 2009.
Roof materials
The existing roof slates should be salvaged and, insofar as proves practical, re-used on the replacement building. The remaining parts of the roof(s) must be finished in dark natural slate.
Landscaping scheme
Any landscaping including garden walls and footpaths indicated on the approved drawing shall be completed in all respects, with the exception of tree and shrub planting, within three months of the first occupation of the dwelling and the trees and shrubs shall be planted in the planting and seeding season following that first occupation. Any tree or shrub which within a period of five years from the completion of the development dies, is removed or becomes seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced in the next planting season with another of similar size and species, unless the Planning Authority gives written consent to any variation.
Tree protection
No existing tree or shrub indicated on the approved plans shall be cut down, grubbed out, topped, lopped or uprooted without the written consent of the planning authority. Any such tree or shrub removed without such consent or which dies, becomes seriously damaged or diseased within a period of 5 years from the completion of the development shall be replaced in the next planting season with another of similar size and species, unless the Planning Authority gives written consent to any variation.
Front elevation materials
The front elevation of the main dwelling and the front porch must be clad in traditionally laid stone prior to completion. Note: Split stone on a backing render is not acceptable as an external finish.
no objections thereto
Same conditions apply as in previous application 06/00981/REM
