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, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property. The officer assessed the sun room extension as modest in scale, with no undue amenity impact and visual impact acceptable in context of larger surrounding properties. It was found to fully accord with the policy.
