Policy L/RES/PR/8 (site-specific residential development brief)
Requires low density individual dwellings at density similar to adjacent properties, addressing site as a whole with comprehensive landscaping scheme per property. Officer found principle and density acceptable but specific siting of Plot 4 failed amenity tests; accurate landscaping not submitted.
General Policy 2
Requires development respecting site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/form/design/landscaping, no adverse amenity impact on residents/locality. Failed due to overbearing effect on The Lhergy from Plot 4's design/position/height despite zoning compliance.
Residential Policy 1 of Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005
Limits residential approval to designated proposed/existing residential areas. Site within designated area, so principle acceptable.
Ecological interest policy
Presumption against development adversely impacting ecological interest areas. Site in wider ecological interest area but no specific adverse impacts identified; not a blocking issue.
Policy L/S/PR/1
No development if sewage cannot be satisfactorily handled. Acceptable subject to conditions per Drainage Division.
Do not oppose
