General Policy 3
Permits development outside zoned areas including replacement of existing rural dwellings (cross-ref Housing Policies 12-14). Proposal accepted as one-for-one replacement exception to countryside presumption.
Environment Policy 2
Protects Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance; development allowed if no harm to character or location essential. Proposal's reduced visual impact from resiting and design justified acceptability.
Housing Policy 4
New countryside housing only in exceptional cases including rural dwelling replacements (HP12-14). Proposal fits replacement exception.
Housing Policy 12
Permits countryside replacements unless abandoned or architecturally/historically valuable. Existing dwelling habitable (full residential status), not abandoned or of interest.
Housing Policy 14
Replacements not substantially different in siting/size unless environmental improvement or less visual impact; >50% increase allowable if poor form replaced by traditional character or reduced impact via design/siting. Resiting reduces prominence; modern eco-design (earth-shelter, green roof) has less impact despite size; not traditional but high quality/innovative.
Policy L/OSNC/PR/1
Presumption against development in open space areas. Replacement within established residential curtilage accepted via strategic exceptions.
Residential Policy 1 of Laxey and Lonan Area Plan Order 2005
Residential development generally only in zoned areas; alterations/extensions to existing if sympathetic. Replacement treated under strategic housing policies.
