Conserve and enhance:
Opened and channelled views up to the open uplands that surround the area.
Channelled views over wooded valley towards Laxey.
East Baldwin (B6)
Conserve and enhance:
Reasonably enclosed views due to the relatively continuous roadside trees that grow on the grassed Manx hedges that line the road corridor and the dense woodland on the valley floor.
Some glimpsed views through field gates up valley sides, and over wooded valley floor to the open upland areas that surround the valley.
Expansive and panoramic views up to the surrounding upland areas and down the valley from the more open valley head.
West Baldwin (B7)
Conserve and enhance:
Enclosed views from the valley bottom.
Glimpsed views between vegetation up the valley to the upland areas.
Open views across the West Baldwin Reservoir.
Glimpsed view of St. Luke's Church.
To preserve the character of West Baldwin village any application for planning approval must demonstrate that consideration has been given to scale, location and design of development in order to protect and enhance the village and its setting and that the proposed development can mitigate adverse effects.
Any development that would be visible from the West Baldwin Reservoir must be so designed so as to integrate well into the landscape showing sensitive design towards its setting. Colours, materials and finishes must be of a non-reflective and complementary nature.
Greeba Valley (C1)
Conserve and enhance:
Views from valley floor typically enclosed by the fragmented woodland and roadside trees on the valley floor.
More open views from the valley sides along the valley and up to the peaks of the Northern Upland peaks and the upper slopes of Foxdale.

Open views up to the Northern Uplands and the upper slopes of Foxdale in places.

Channelled views East and West along the corridor of Laxey Glen.
Views to the instantly recognisable Lady Isabella water wheel as a landmark within the area.
Panoramic views eastwards across the sea from areas of higher land within the character area.
There is a presumption against development that would have an adverse impact on the setting of the landmark Lady Isabella water wheel.
Proposals for planning approval which would result in some development being visible from the Lady Isabella water wheel must demonstrate that the design is informed by the setting and has taken into account the effect, if any, on such views and responded to them.
