The officer assessed the principle of residential development as acceptable per zoning under policy L/RES/PR/1 of the Laxey and Lonan Area Plan 2005.
Residential Policy 1 of Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005
Requires residential development only in designated existing/proposed residential areas; officer confirmed site zoning allows principle of residential use, so specifics assessed further.
Car parking standards
Requires 3 spaces per unit (one in curtilage); officer found at least 7 spaces feasible but deemed two maximum reasonable per recent appeal precedent, as rigid standard outdated; scale reduction reduced traffic impact.
Conservation Area Policy 4 of Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005
Special attention to preserving/enhancing character per 1991 Act s.12(4); reduced scale/massing/design (three-storey blocks, traditional materials, seafront glazing) overcomes prior refusals, enhances Promenade as 'end stop'.
Planning Policy Statement 1/01 - Policy CA/2 (Conservation Areas)
Prior refusals cited failure to enhance CA; current scheme's evolution (lighter form, traditional elements) addresses this per officer.
