General Policy 2
Requires development to respect site surroundings in scale, form, design; not adversely affect character of locality (2c); and provide satisfactory amenity, access, etc. Officer found compliance with amenity, highways, traffic aspects (g, h, i, j, m) but conflict with 2c due to harm to Registered Building's character and setting.
Environment Policy 32
Prohibits extensions or alterations to Registered Buildings that detrimentally affect their special architectural or historic character. Proposal failed as larger garage would detract from character without preserving or enhancing it.

ObjectionI have serious doubt that Field 121592 is part of the residential curtilage and therefore a change of use is involved.; Environmental Policy 1 of the IoM Strategic Plan 2007 states: 'The countryside and its ecology will be protected for its own sake.' This proposal does not comply with that requirement; The site is also within an area designated on the 1982 Development Plan as an area of High Landscape Value... and therefore protected from development.
