Plot 1 At The Lancashire House, Main Road, Santon, Isle Of Man, IM4 1ht
The application relates to Plot 1, Lancashire House, Santon, Isle of Man, and proposes a minor amendment to planning approval 23/00069/B, which retrospectively established a new dwelling with a new access road. The change involves removing two dummy chimneys from the as-built dwelling. Officers assessed the proposal against the Isle of Man minor change criteria and found it passed on all counts: it does not increase the size or scale of the development, does not change the nature of the development, does not cause the approval to fall out of compliance with the Development Plan or relevant policy, and introduces no new or increased adverse impacts on neighbouring properties or the environment. The basis on which the original approval was granted remains unchanged.
The removal of two dummy chimneys was judged a genuine minor change. It does not alter the scale, nature, or policy compliance of the approved dwelling, and creates no new impacts on neighbours or the environment. All statutory minor change criteria were satisfied, so the amendment was permitted without conditions.
