only, there are no minor changes sought for increases to the size or scale of the development.
Must not significantly change the nature of the development in question 23(1)(b) Development remains for single building with internal space remaining as office and one residential apartment Yes Requirement Source Analysis Pass Must not result in an approval which, at the time of approval, complied with a Development Plan, National Policy Directive or a Planning Policy Statement, ceasing to do so 23(1)(c) The application was assessed against Strategic Policies 1 and 2, Environment Policy 35 and General Policy 2 and there have been no changes to the DP,NPD, or PPS since its approval Yes Must not result in new or increased adverse impacts on adjoining or neighbouring properties having a significant or disproportionate impact on the environment (irrespective of whether such impacts might be outweighed by other considerations) 23(1)(d) The proposal seeks to retain a number of windows already in existing along the side elevation as well as include a number of the windows already approved as part of the parent approval and some with slight modification to their size. The mix of windows will not result in any new or increased adverse impacts beyond what already exists or beyond what already has approval. The changes are contained within the site and not expected to result in any neighbouring impact or any significant or disproportionate impacts on the wider environment. The retention of the existing quay facing shop front coupled with the internal reconfiguration will still maintain an acceptable separate access for the office uses and top floor apartment without resulting in any harmful or disproportionate impacts and suitable bin store provision is to be maintained.
Yes Must not be more than minor and to be of a magnitude to warrant a new application 23(1)(e)
Given the scale of the original approved development the proposed minor changes are likely to have an overall negligible impact in terms of general and visual amenity and continue to enable a redundant building in the centre of Ramsey to be brought back into use.
