General Policy 2
General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 requires development to protect residential amenities. The officer tested the proposal's siting, design, and projection against neighbour amenity at No. 1 Highcroft Avenue, finding failure due to visual intrusion, overbearing impact, and perception of overlooking from excessive scale and tree removal.
