The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007, which requires development to respect amenity of neighbouring properties.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 requires development to respect the amenity of neighbouring properties. The officer assessed the extension's siting, design and 4.985m projection along the boundary with No.29, finding it caused visual intrusion harm despite hipped roof mitigation. This failed the policy test on neighbour amenity.
Environment Policy 42
Environment Policy 42 was listed as relevant but not discussed in the assessment. No specific findings made against it.
Extensions to Dwellings in built up areas or sites designated for residential use
Paragraph 8.12.1 presumes in favour of extensions in built-up areas if no adverse impact on adjacent properties or surroundings. The proposal met this for street scene (rear location, not visible) but failed due to adverse neighbour amenity impact.
No objection
No objection in principle, subject to no discharge of surface water to foul drainage
no objection (no notes provided)
Note received (standard comments on smoke detection, building control matter)
