The officer considered the extension modest and in keeping with the existing dwelling, concluding it does not adversely affect public or private amenity.
Policy O/RES/P/21 of the Onchan Local Plan (Planning Circular 1/2000)
Requires that extensions to existing residential property will generally not be opposed where appropriate in terms of scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property. The officer assessed the rear extension against these criteria in the residential zone and found it compliant with no adverse impacts.
General Policy 2
