The dormer extension which would be higher and project above the ridge of the main roof, and which is of a design which is not in keep with the design of the existing building would fail General Policy 2 (b), (c) & (g) of the IOM Strategic Plan 2016 and the Residential Design Guide 2019. 2. The dormer in terms of its size, position, design and close proximity would result in an unacceptable level of overlooking into the neighbouring property Nr 12a Birch Hill Grove resulting in a significant adverse impact upon the residential amenities of the neighbouring property contrary to General Policy 2 (g) of the IOM Strategic Plan 2016 and the Residential Design Guide 2019. 3. The additional parking as proposed would give raise to a significant area of parking provision to the frontage of the dwelling/garden which would result in the appearance and character of the front garden appearing as a large car park which would adversely affect the visual amenities of the street scene and the character of the area and the property itself, all contrary to General Policy 2 (b), (c), (g) of the IOM Strategic Plan 2016 and the Residential Design Guide 2019.
