Bay ny Carrickey (E9) The overall strategy is to conserve the character, quality and distinctiveness of the tranquil and coastal area with its rich ecological habitats, open and expansive panoramic views, sites of archaeological importance and to conserve the coastal setting of Port St. Mary. Key Views Extensive, panoramic views from Raad ny Foillan across the sweeping and ever-changing seascape to the south. Open views across the bay, with distant sense of enclosure provided by headlands to the east and west. Open views across adjacent Undulating Lowland Plain to the north. Castletown Bay (E10) The overall strategy is to conserve the character, quality and distinctiveness of the coastal area with its rich ecological habitats, open and expansive panoramic views, and to conserve the coastal setting of Castletown. Key Views Extensive, panoramic open views from Raad ny Foillan , views southwards across the ever-changing seascape. Grey stone wall of the harbour, marking the entrance to Castletown, is a landmark within views westwards. Views across the bay contained by protruding headlands to the east and west.

Key Views Panoramic, open views across surrounding, ever -changing seascape, from several points along the peninsula, in particular from Dreswick Point (at the southernmost tip). Dramatic views northwards from S t. Michael's Island, along the north eastern shore. Open views across Castletown Bay to the west. Castletown and Ballasalla (F7) The overall strategy is to conserve the character, quality and distinctiveness of this open area that contributes to the setting of Castletown and Ballasalla, to enhance the river field pattern and to conserve the aquatic habitat corridor of the Silverburn. Key Views Open and panoramic views out to sea and over Langness' rocky shoreline beyond the Airport. Key views to the prominent landmarks of Castle Rushen and King William's College.

Key Views Open and panoramic views out to sea, up to the Southern Upland peaks over open fields and towards the built -up areas of Castletown and Ballasalla are obtained from various slightly elevated positions within the area, where the cumulative effects of hedgerow trees does not intervene. Foreshortened views in some flatter areas where the accumulated effects of hedgerow trees create a wooded horizon. Fleshwick (H2) The overall strategy is to conserve the character, quality and distinctiveness of this open, unsettled and rugged area with expansive and dramatic views and to conserve the wild setting of the numerous archaeological features. Key Views Distant views out towards Ireland over the sea from the Raad ny Foillan coastal path. Panoramic expansive views out to sea and along the coastline from Fleshwick Bay.

Area with building height restrictions

the final height of any development is controlled so that it does not interfere with the operations of…the Airport

7.5.3 In addition to the PSZ there are two further zones in the Southern Area where consultation is required with the Department of Infrastructure (Ai rport Division). These zones circle the Airport and the transmitter located on the hill outside Cregneash. Within both of these zones the final height of any development is controlled so that it does not interfere with the operations of either the Airpor t or the transmitter. It should also be noted that any development within the Plan Area which has the potential to attract birds should be reviewed by the Airport Division (DoI). 8.

Housing Policy 16

the proposal complies with Housing Policy 16

Housing Policy 16: The extension of non -traditional dwellings or those of poor or inappropriate form will not generally be permitted where this would increase the impact of the building as viewed by the public. 8.13 Conversion of Buildings to Flats 8.13.1 There are in the Island, and particularly in Douglas, many substantial buildings which, because of their size or form, are no longer suitable for the originally intended use as either single dwellings or holiday accommodation, but which are still structur ally sound. The Department has for many years encouraged the conversion of such buildings, where appropriate, into flats. 8.13.2 The size, layout, occupancy, etc., of flats are controlled by the Housing (Flats) Regulations 1982. However, all flats should also have a good external environment, characterised by - (a) a pleasant, clear outlook, particularly from the principal room(s) of the flat and (b) access to external space for the purpose of clothes-drying, refuse storage, car-parking, and general amenity. 8.13.3 Many buildings which are generally suitable for conversion into flats not only have very little space around them, but also have an annex or "outlet" at the rear. The Department may require the demolition, in total or in part, of such "outlets" even where the immediate use of the cleared space may not be possible, for example where more than one rear annex may be needed to be removed to gain access or highway work such as road widening may be required to make the cleared space useful. Such demolition will: (a) remove accommodation which has a poor environment and limited outlook; (b) permit the creation of parking space; and (c) assist in admitting light and air to the rear of the building proper. Where such demolition is not so required, the accommodation must generally be organised so that every flat has an outlook from the front of the building, and so that no flat is contained entirely within an "outlet". Exception may be made to this general approach where the environment at, and the outlook from, the rear are pleasant and open.
