DEC Decision Notice
Penketh - Millar 23 West Quay Ramsey Isle Of Man IM8 1DL
TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure)(No 2) Order 2013
In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Mrs Dawn Collins, Ref 19/00498/B, for the Conversion and erection of extension to former public house to create a residential dwelling (in association with 19/00499/CON) at Ship Inn Hope Street Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1AS for the following reason(s):
- Whilst the existing building is certainly not traditional it has a quirky element which makes the building easily identifiable without being particularly prominent, particularly given the only two storey element to the Mill Road elevation. What is proposed increases the built form in a way that is strikingly different in terms of form, mass and materials, to the existing and the surrounding buildings and the inclusion of additional floor area at roof level removes the only traditional element of the Mill Road elevation, from public view. As such, the proposed design, finish, mass and appearance of the Mill Road elevation would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Environment Policy 35 and General Policy 2b, c and g of the Strategic Plan 2016.
Date of Issue: 21st June 2019
Director of Planning and Building Control
