Spatial Policy 5
Requires new development including individual buildings to make positive environmental contribution, supported by Design Statement. Officer noted modern eco-design as positive contribution.
General Policy 3
Restricts development outside zoned areas except specified exceptions including previously developed land where redundant buildings harm landscape and redevelopment improves it. Site qualified via extant AIP despite not fitting exceptions perfectly.
Housing Policy 4
New housing primarily in zoned areas or exceptional countryside cases. Principle accepted via AIP; not a strict fit but outweighed by site-specific approval.
Housing Policy 14
For replacement dwellings, limits size/siting but allows innovative high-quality modern designs with less visual impact. Though not replacement, aspirations applied to approve modern eco-design.
Environment Policy 4
Alternative energy judged against environmental policies; wind/tide/solar require EIA but domestic turbines unlikely to need one. Environmental statement sufficient; details conditioned.
Residential Policy 1 of Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005
Residential only in designated areas. Site in open space/agricultural; policy outweighed by AIP.
Policy L/OSNC/PP/1 (Laxey and Lonan Area Plan)
Presumption against development in open space. Overridden by AIP site-specific merits.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.

Landscaping scheme
Prior to the commencement of development a scheme of landscaping that includes indications of all existing trees and hedges within the site and details of any to be retained together with measures for their protection during the course of construction must be submitted to and agreed with the Planning Authority. Such scheme must include a plan that indicates the location of and allocates a unique reference number to each existing tree to be retained on the site which has a stem with a diameter, measured over the bark at a point 1.52m above ground level, exceeding 79mm. Prior to the commencement of any works relating to the agreed scheme, each tree must be clearly marked with its unique reference number. All planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the agreed scheme must be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the completion of the development or the occupation of the dwellings, whichever is the sooner. Any trees or plants which within a period of five years from the completion of the development die, are removed, or become seriously damaged or diseased must be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species.
