Decision & Reasoning

Approved20 November 2009

The officer assessed the proposal against local and strategic policies, noting the site is zoned for residential development under the Onchan Local Plan.

Policies Assessed (4)

O/RES/P/7

Policy O/RES/P/7 (Manor Park plots)

Requires residential development on remaining plots in Manor Park to respond to the style and density on each side of the road without adversely affecting amenities of abutting properties. The boundary wall was assessed as matching existing styles and not harming outlook, light or privacy.

O/RES/P/21

Policy O/RES/P/21 of the Onchan Local Plan (Planning Circular 1/2000)

Permits extensions and alterations to residential property if appropriate in scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property. The wall was considered an appropriate boundary treatment fitting this criterion.

GP2

General Policy 2

Permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not harm character, amenities, road safety or traffic. The proposal satisfied these tests as the wall matches local walls, is set back, and Highways concerns were not upheld due to cul-de-sac nature and railings.

HP6

Housing Policy 6

Requires residential development on zoned land to follow area plan briefs. The site follows the Onchan Local Plan residential brief for Manor Park.
