Draft Isle of Man Strategic Plan (Housing Policy 14)
Requires replacement dwellings not substantially different in siting/size (generally on footprint, <50% larger floor area), compliant with Circular 3/91 design policies; exceptions for poor form replacements with traditional character or less visual impact. Officer found 213% increase and off-footprint siting failed standard test; existing 'poor form' allowed some flexibility but proposed size/siting caused greater prominence, no environmental improvement.
Environment Policy 2
Protects Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value/Scenic Significance (AHLV) unless no harm or essential location. Site zoned AHLV; officer concluded larger isolated dwelling/curtilage expansion in hillside field would harm landscape character, visible from highway.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving/enhancing Conservation Area character. Maughold Conservation Area site; existing cottage limited contribution but proposal's scale/siting would not preserve/enhance, increasing intrusion.
Do not oppose; has no traffic management, parking or road safety implications
No comment on merits; request informative note re underground cables/overhead lines (Note 1)
