The officer noted the proposal is similar to the previously approved sun room extension under 07/01084/B, occupying an unusual elevated position but remaining relatively modest in scale.
Policy O/RES/P/21 of the Onchan Local Plan (Planning Circular 1/2000)
Requires that extensions and alterations to existing residential property will generally not be opposed where appropriate in terms of scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property. The officer assessed the proposal as modest in scale with limited impact on amenity, thus appropriate for the residential curtilage.
