Policy O/RES/P/21 of the Onchan Local Plan (Planning Circular 1/2000)
This policy states 'Extensions and alterations to existing residential property will generally not be opposed where such proposals are appropriate in terms of scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property.' The officer assessed the window replacement as appropriate in design and appearance with limited impact on the street scene due to precedents in adjoining properties.
General Policy 2

Time limit
