The proposal involves demolishing an existing lean-to roofed outbuilding in the rear curtilage of a mid-terraced traditional property and replacing it with a new storage building on the same footprint, featuring a flat roof that continues the parapet wall from the neighbouring property.

The officer considered the main issues of character/appearance and neighbouring amenity under General Policy 2 (GP2) of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design (b), does not adversely affect townscape character (c), and does not harm resident amenity or locality character (g). The officer tested the replacement building's flat roof design, scale, and form against these, finding it acceptable due to matching the neighbouring parapet wall and same footprint, with no greater amenity impact than existing.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
