Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 Paragraph 8.12.2
The policy states there is a general policy against development in the countryside, and extensions must not detract from countryside amenities through inappropriate size, form, or proportions, especially for traditional properties. The officer assessed the single storey rear extension and found it compliant as it would not adversely impact countryside or neighbour amenities, being well-screened, proportional, and using matching materials.
