The application proposed replacing a non-functional dummy chimney stack with a new chimney stack at a residential property in Sulby, Isle of Man. The site falls within an area designated as proposed residential under the Sulby Local Plan Order. The officer assessed the proposal as a very minor alteration and found it would have no impact on the residential amenities of neighbouring properties and no harmful effect on the appearance of the dwelling or the wider street scene. External finishes were required to match the existing building.

The proposal was permitted because it was considered a very minor alteration that would not affect neighbouring amenity or the visual character of the dwelling and street scene. The external materials were conditioned to match the existing building, ensuring the change would be unobtrusive.
