The officer acknowledged the existing rosemary tiles are traditional but rarely found in Peel, where slate is more common, and their uniqueness contributes to an interesting streetscene.
Environment Policy 34
Policy ENV34 relates to protecting the character of conservation areas. The officer assessed the replacement material's natural finish as appropriate to the historic part of Peel's Conservation Area, preserving its character despite loss of unique rosemary tiles.
Environment Policy 35
Policy ENV35 concerns development in conservation areas. Natural slate was judged to preserve the Conservation Area, with the proposal acceptable given limited roof visibility and street variation; it could even enhance if existing tiles were different.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 requires development to respect local character. The varied streetscene with different roof materials and buildings supported the continuation of difference via natural slate replacement.
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.
