The proposal involves removing all existing timber casement windows, which are in poor condition and likely original to the building, and replacing them with uPVC casement windows throughout the front, side, and rear elevations. The front door would also be replaced with a uPVC composite door of appropriate design.

The key issue was whether the proposed uPVC windows and door would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Woodbourne Road Conservation Area per Environment Policy 35.
Environment Policy 35
Policy requires that within Conservation Areas, only development which preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Area is permitted, protecting special features. The officer assessed the uPVC replacements against this, noting they replicate the existing timber casements' design and opening method despite modern materials, and found them acceptable as the originals were in poor repair.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Approved plans
This permission relates to the installation of replacement windows to the front, side and rear elevation and the installation of a replacement of front door, 80 Derby Road, Douglas as shown by 11-3085-01, 11-3085-02, 11-3085-03 and Photographs x 4 received 1st November 2011.
