The officer assessed the proposal's impact on the existing property and surrounding countryside, finding the extension scaled, designed and finished to blend with the existing building.
Residential Policy 1 of Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005
This policy allows alterations and extensions to existing properties in residential areas if sympathetic to the character and appearance of the building and surrounding area. The officer assessed the single-storey extension and dormers as modest, scaled and finished to match the existing, blending with the house and not harming the countryside setting.
Housing Policy 15
Extensions to traditionally styled countryside properties are approved if they respect proportion, form and appearance, and only exceptionally exceed 50% of existing floorspace. The proposal adds approximately 34% floorspace, is single-storey with hipped roof matching existing materials, and respects the original building's character without tension.
