Residential Policy 1 of Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005
Restricts residential development to designated areas; alterations/extensions to existing properties accepted only if sympathetic to character and appearance of building and surroundings. Officer found garage not sympathetic due to size, height and location, visually detrimental in rural/high landscape area.
Policy L/OSNC/PR/1
General presumption against development in open space areas. Curtilage extension deemed unwarranted intrusion into open countryside beyond existing curtilage.
General Policy 3
Development not permitted outside zoned areas except in listed exceptional cases (e.g. agricultural worker housing, conversions). Proposal falls outside exceptions as domestic garage/curtilage extension in countryside.
Environment Policy 1
Countryside protected for its own sake; development adversely affecting it not permitted without overriding national need and no alternative. Garage and curtilage extension adversely affect countryside.
Environment Policy 2
Within Areas of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance (AHLV), landscape character protection paramount unless development does not harm character or location essential. Garage visually prominent and harmful due to height and separation from dwelling.
