Policy LJRES/PR1 (Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005)
Permits alterations and extensions to existing property if sympathetic to the character and appearance of the building and surrounding area. The officer assessed the modern proposal against this in the context of the site's designation as open space/agricultural and high landscape value/scenic significance; found sympathetic due to visual improvement and site-responsive design.
Housing Policy 16
Restricts extensions to non-traditional dwellings of poor form where they increase public visual impact. Officer applied this directly to the prominent site, concluding the proposal reduces and improves impact through materials, earth-sheltering and design, representing a 'significant visual improvement over the existing situation'.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
