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.
proposals are considered acceptable from a highway perspective and there are no highways conditions
Isle of Man Natural History and Antiquarian Society has no objection to the new door but requests a traditional wooden mock door on the blocked Crown Street access to respect historic design in the Conservation Area; Highways has no objection with no conditions.
Key concern: retain specific details that reflect historic design of inward-facing entrances in the Conservation Area
Isle of Man Natural History and Antiquarian Society
Conditional No ObjectionWhile the Society has no objection to the creation of a new door on the north side into the yard area; they would respectfully point out that in line with the original street pattern and other buildings in the locality the layout was designed specifically so that entrances faced inward away from the sea and thus gained protection from sand, sea, shingle and wind; Isle of Man Natural History & Antiquarian Society would therefore seek a detailed design that shows a traditional wooden, albeit 'mock', door and doorway in front of the blocked up access onto Crown Street
Conditions requested: detailed design that shows a traditional wooden, albeit 'mock', door and doorway in front of the blocked up access onto Crown Street
Department of Infrastructure
