The rear extension is considered relatively modest, in keeping with the character of the dwelling, and without undue impact on neighbouring properties or public/private amenity.
Policy O/RES/P/21 of the Onchan Local Plan (Planning Circular 1/2000)
The policy states that extensions and alterations to existing residential property will generally not be opposed where appropriate in terms of scale, siting, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property. The officer assessed the rear extension against this, finding it modest, in keeping with the dwelling's character, and without undue impact on neighbours, thus compliant. No issues with solar panels were identified under this policy.
