The proposal was assessed against Housing Policy 15 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan (June 2007), which allows extensions or alterations to existing traditionally styled properties in the countryside…
Housing Policy 15
The policy permits extensions to traditionally styled countryside properties only if they respect the proportion, form, and appearance of the existing property, and limits additional floor space to 50% except exceptionally. The officer tested the rear garage roof replacement with pitched roof adding modest bedroom/en-suite space, finding it visually appropriate and compliant due to its scale and subservient location.
