The officer concluded the proposal complies with General Policy 2 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016 and principles of the Residential Design Guide 2019.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 (with paragraph 8.12.1) sets a presumption in favour of extensions or alterations to existing properties where they would not adversely impact adjacent properties or the surrounding streetscene. The officer assessed the render and re-roofing changes against this, noting the site's rear location and the streetscene's mix of pebble dash and render finishes. The proposal was found acceptable as it would not harm character or neighbours.
Residential Design Guide 2021
The Residential Design Guide 2019 principles were considered alongside GP2 for assessing residential alterations. The officer determined the changes align with these principles given the varied streetscene, with no specific tensions noted.
