DEFA Assistant Registered Buildings Officer
Conditional No ObjectionAlthough the replacement window is not the historically appropriate style, assuming that the existing windows are lawful, the proposed windows match those already in place and therefore meet the guidance in 1/98.; Ideally the replacement should be a traditional four or six panelled door, with glazing in the upper sections if desired. I would suggest attempting to persuade the applicant to alter the proposed door to reflect this.
Isle of Man Victorian Society
ObjectionThe property falls within the Peel Conservation Area where great strides have been made of recent times in achieving the correct type of door and window replacements.; we object to that element of the application as made.; We object to the application as made.; We have no objection to the roof thermal collectors.
