Environment Policy 32
Prohibits extensions or alterations to Registered Buildings that detrimentally affect their special character. Assessed as compliant since replacements match existing in design and materials, justified by poor condition evidence.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving or enhancing Conservation Area character. The impact on Castletown Conservation Area was deemed acceptable due to replication of historic fenestration.
Category a) of Windows Policy 1/98
Requires replacement windows in Registered Buildings to match originals exactly in opening method, materials, and design unless exceptional circumstances. Strictly applied here; slim double glazing allowed close approximation with putty and glazing bar replication.
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.
