The officer considered the proposal against General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007, which requires developments to respect the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale,…
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, design, does not adversely affect the character of the surrounding townscape, and does not harm local amenity. The officer tested the chimney removal against these criteria, particularly visual impact on character and townscape, concluding no significant harm due to its rear location and lack of public prominence. The neighbour precedent reinforced compliance with no tension noted.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
