Policy O/RES/P/21 of the Onchan Local Plan (Planning Circular 1/2000)
Requires that extensions and alterations to existing residential property are appropriate in terms of scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property. The officer assessed the window/door replacements and found them compliant as they respected the site's residential zoning and did not adversely affect character or neighbours.
General Policy 2
Permits development in accordance with zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design and does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character (points b and c specifically applied). Tested against the proposal's impact on the terraced dwelling's character and public views from Summerhill Road; changes were found not adverse.
Planning Circular 1/98, The Alteration and Replacement of Windows - Category d) OTHER BUILDINGS ERECTED BEFORE 1921
Requires replacement windows to preferably match originals in glazing bar pattern, but allows relaxed approach if pattern retained. The proposal retained Georgian-style glazing bars on front bow windows and similar patterns elsewhere; applied to justify UPVC at rear and timber/DG front replacements as a more relaxed but compliant approach.
