Environment Policy 2
Requires protection of AHLV landscape character unless development shown not to harm it or location essential. Officer assessed that the extension, with glass reducing visual mass on sensitive elevation, would not harm landscape character or quality.
Housing Policy 15
Permits extensions to traditional countryside properties only if respecting proportion, form, appearance, and exceptionally if over 50% floorspace. The proposal was found to respect the existing property's traditional form with matching materials, and size under 50% threshold.
Environment Policy 36
Prohibits development close to Conservation Areas if detrimentally affecting views in/out. At 450m from Maughold CA, the extension was assessed not to affect important views due to topography limiting views to long-distance and design minimising impact.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
