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)
Maughold Parish Commissioners strongly object to the replacement dwelling due to landscape, cultural, and policy impacts; Manx Electricity Authority requests contact for utilities; Department of Transport has no highways objections.
Key concern: unacceptable intrusion in area of extreme cultural and scenic significance within zoned conservation area
Maughold Parish Commissioners
ObjectionThe Commission strongly object to these proposals.; Any development at this site must not be permitted to contradict the Isle of Man Strategic Plan or the Directorate's own emerging planning policy.; In short the integrity of the Ancient Maughold landscape must be protected for our future generations.
