Onchan Local Plan 2000 - Land between Groudle Road and Groudle Glen
Requires low density housing in parkland between Lakeside, Groudle Glen, Groudle Road and bridge over Groudle River, with no development within 80m of Groudle River and a sod hedge boundary to Groudle Road. The site is zoned accordingly, and prior approvals established compliance; current minor amendments to an approved dwelling do not conflict as they maintain positioning and scale.
Housing Policy 6
Requires residential development on zoned land to follow relevant area plan briefs or criteria in para 6.2, encouraging good innovative design without needless prescription. The proposal follows the Onchan Local Plan brief, with amendments improving traditional appearance suitable to the countryside edge location.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
