General Policy 2
Requires developments to respect amenity and character. Officer found proposal breached this due to neighbour impact and overdevelopment impression from conservatory's scale, position forward of building line, and boundary proximity.
Arbory and East Rushen Local Plan policy on developments within residential areas

Conservatory failed tests on neighbourly impact (privacy/outlook to no.6) and streetscene (visible forward projection), while garage had limited but cumulative effects on parking.
Do not oppose

smoke detection recommended (Building Regulations matter)
