The proposal involves removing the existing grey slate roof on 24 Albany Road, a two-storey hipped roof semi-detached dwelling, and replacing it with matching CUPA R12 slates. The site is in the residential curtilage on the north-western side of Albany Road and within the Douglas (Selborne Drive) Conservation Area.

The officer assessed the proposal against the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016, specifically General Policy 2 (GP2) and Environmental Policy 35 (EP35).
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning and other policies if it reduces energy consumption per part (n). The officer noted the new CUPA R12 slates improve internal thermal efficiency of the dwelling, satisfying this requirement. The site is zoned Predominantly Residential under Douglas Local Plan 1998.
Environment Policy 35
EP35 permits only development within Conservation Areas that preserves or enhances the character or appearance, protecting special features. The like-for-like replacement with matching CUPA R12 slates was assessed as preserving the Selborne Drive Conservation Area's appearance, matching the existing and adjoining property.
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.
