Strategic Policy 4
Requires preservation/enhancement of Conservation Areas. Officer assessed demolition/replacements holistically with PA 22/00017/B, finding negligible public impact from rear elements and acceptable front/side changes post-amendments, preserving character and appearance.
Environment Policy 35
Protects character/appearance of Conservation Areas and historic buildings. Proposals preserve this via matching porch details, subservient side extension, and accepted window material given precedents; RB officer supported conservatory loss.
General Policy 3
Subsections (b,c,g) address design, amenity, and Conservation Area impacts. Works have acceptable visual/amenity effects, compliant with (b,c,g) as no overdevelopment or harm, and align with RDG2021.
General Policy 2
Requires no unacceptable amenity impacts. No new adverse effects on neighbours due to existing site relationships and demolition-only nature here.

DEFA RB Officer
Conditional No ObjectionApprove subject to conditions/ Amendments; The loss of the conservatory is supported; The timber porch with decorative cast iron railing to the roof make a positive contribution; their loss [chimney stacks] would have negligible impact upon the character and appearance of the conservation area and is therefore accepted
Conditions requested: if the porch is to be replace all of these details should be included and if possible the cast iron elements reused; Further detailing of the proposed replacement porch is required to safeguard its appearance; This could be improved by using a more traditional form of extension, such as a mono pitch
Manx National Heritage
Conditional No Objectionwe consider that the alterations proposed are commendably minimalist [...] and in particular the character of those elevations visible from the public highway; we therefore find them acceptable, but would request that the opportunity to make a photographic record [...]
Conditions requested: make a photographic record of the affected areas of the building be provided, and a copy of the resulting record deposited with MNH
