The main issue was the impact of the proposed shop front replacement on the character and appearance of the Douglas Promenade Conservation Area and the individual property.
General Policy 2
Requires development in accordance with land-use zoning and other policies, respecting site surroundings in siting, scale, form, design; not adversely affecting townscape character, amenity, highways, or wildlife. The officer confirmed overall compliance as the minor like-for-like replacement respects the Conservation Area townscape and zoning as Tourism Accommodation and Leisure, with no adverse impacts identified.
Environment Policy 35
Permits development in Conservation Areas only if it preserves or enhances character/appearance and protects special features. The officer tested the shop front replacement against this, finding it preserves character via like-for-like simple design on the prominent front elevation, despite aluminium material.
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 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
