Environment Policy 35
EP35 of the Strategic Plan requires development in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance the character or appearance. The officer tested the window replacements against this, finding the sliding sashes with horns enhance the front elevation streetscene and rear changes have no public impact.
null
PPS 1/01 sets requirements for development to preserve or enhance Conservation Area character. Applied alongside EP35, the proposal was found to accord fully as it improves the appearance via appropriate window styles.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Clarification of works
For clarification, this approval relates to the installation of replacement windows on the front elevation and the replacement of the existing rear door, all as shown in the submitted information with the front elevation windows being sliding sash with horns on the lower side of the upper sash. Reason: To clarify the extent of the proposal.
Support the proposal for sliding sash windows and suggest a condition to ensure horns. No objection to replacement windows and doors at the rear. Suggested front door style not correct and recommended alternatives, leading to its withdrawal.
Isle of Man Victorian Society has no objection to rear proposals, supports front sliding sash windows with a condition for horns, but strongly objects to the front door style.
Key concern: WE STRONGLY OBJECT TO THE STYLE OF THE FRONT DOOR
Isle of Man Victorian Society
Conditional No ObjectionWe have no objection to the proposals for the rear of the property.; We support the installation of sliding sash windows in the front and would ask for a condition requiring horns so there is no confusion in the matter.; WE STRONGLY OBJECT TO THE STYLE OF THE FRONT DOOR.; The style of architecture and age of the property is such that the front door should be a four panel (equal size and solid) door. It should not be imitation wood colour. It may be any colour and may have grain but painted Victorian doors usually were smooth finished due to the use of gloss paint.
Conditions requested: condition requiring horns so there is no confusion in the matter
