Policy O/RES/P/9 of Planning Circular 1/2000 (Onchan Local Plan)
Requires site adjacent to Far End suitable for maximum of three new dwellings, responding to natural contours without underbuilding, retaining/enhancing public footpath, single cul-de-sac access from King Edward Road with gradients <=1:10, and 3 parking spaces per dwelling (one behind building line). Officer strictly applied maximum three-dwelling limit due to site's gateway position, judging four dwellings excessive despite general density not high; previous inspector flexibility suggestions rejected by Department/Tynwald. Proposal failed density test outright.
