"Within Conservation Areas, the Department will permit only development which would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Area, and will ensure that the special features contributing to the character and quality are protected against inappropriate development." "Planning Policy Statement 1/01 RB/3: General Criteria Applied in Considering Registered Building Applications The issues that are generally relevant to the consideration of all registered building applications are:
In considering whether to grant planning approval for development which affects a registered building or its setting and in considering whether to grant registered building consent for any works, the Department shall have special regard to the desirability of preserving the building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses.
Registered Building consent is required for the building's alteration in any way which would affect its special architectural or historic character. There will be a general presumption against alteration or extension of registered buildings, except where a convincing case can be made, against the criteria set out in this section, for such proposals.
Applicants for registered building consent for alteration or extension to a registered building must be able to justify their proposals. They will be required to show why the works which would affect the character of the registered building are desirable or necessary and they should provide full information to enable the Department to assess the likely impact of their proposals on the special architectural or historic interest of the building and on its setting. Where registered buildings are the subject of successive applications for alteration or extension, consideration will also be given to the cumulative affect upon the building's special interest as a result of several minor works which may individually seem of little consequence."
Policy CA/2 - Special Planning Considerations states; "When considering proposals for the possible development of any land or buildings which fall within the conservation area, the impact of such proposals upon the special character of the area, will be a material consideration when assessing the application.
Where a development is proposed for land which, although not within the boundaries of the conservation area, would affect its context or setting, or views into or out of the area; such issues should be given special consideration where the character or appearance of a conservation area may be affected."
carefully considered in terms of their impact upon the character of the Registered Building and the Conservation Area within which it sits. 16. In conclusion; the works in the main, are considered to respect the character of the Registered Building and the Conservation Area within which it is located and in doing so, comply with the relevant planning policies from the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 are Strategic Policy 4, General Policy 2, Environment Policies 32, 34 and 35 and Policies RB/3, RB/5 and CA/2 Special Planning Considerations from Planning Policy Statement 1/01 (Policy and Guidance Notes for the Conservation of the Historic Environment of the Isle of Man).
