Housing Policy 15
Housing Policy 15 generally accepts up to 50% increase in floor area for house extensions. The proposal exceeds this with a 65% net increase in footprint, but the officer assessed it as an exceptional circumstance due to the substantial setback from the road and significant improvements to the appearance and character of the property.

The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.

no implications for the access or highway network from these proposals
Patrick Parish Commissioners object to the proposal due to excessive height and unnecessary tree removal, while Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service recommends fire safety measures.
Key concern: proposal represents an over-development in the area
Patrick Parish Commissioners
ObjectionThe Commissioners believe that the height of the roof indicated in the plans will make the building stand out from both distant and not so distant views where presently it does not. The proposal therefore represents an over-development in the area; The Commissioners consider that the proposed removal of some trees is unnecessary and this type of "aesthetic" (in the applicant’s opinion, presumably) removal of mature trees should not be permitted; The Commissioners earnestly hope that the Planning Committee will refuse the Application accordingly
