The site is within Castletown Conservation Area but the proposed garage is located some distance from the road and not visible to the public.
Environment Policy 35
Policy requires development within Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance the area. The officer assessed the proposal against this, noting the garage's location away from the road and lack of public visibility, plus no detraction from the modern adjacent building. This specific siting and subservient design meant it complied without harming the area's character.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
