The officer assessed the proposal primarily against Housing Policy 15 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007, which allows extensions to traditionally styled countryside properties where they respect …
Housing Policy 15
Requires extensions or alterations to existing traditionally styled countryside properties to respect proportion, form and appearance of the existing property, with permission only exceptionally over 50% of existing floor space. Officer measured proposed extension floor space as significantly less than 50% and found it minor, unobjectionable in form/design, thus compliant. This was the starting point and key test for the rural dwelling extension.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.

Key concern: visibility splay details not provided (later withdrawn)

Conditional No ObjectionThe application does not contain details of the visibility splay that is available therefore it is not possible to assess the impact on road safety. Please defer the application until details of the visibility splay have been provided.
