This application, on behalf of Holdaijo Ltd, is an application for full approval for operational development involving building works. The works is the renovation of the building to create a 4-bedroom house, with a roof extension, balcony, creation of a cycle store and an additional parking space to give two car spaces at the rear. The property is located at the junction of Christian Road and Mount Havelock, Douglas.
Holdaijo Ltd have owned the building since 2011. They placed the building for sale in August 2022. In that time there has been little interest shown by potential purchasers. In an attempt to make the building more attractive to purchasers, the owners have been considering various options to provide other uses for the building in addition to its current use as offices. This application aims to make the building more attractive to people who wish to live in the town centre, developers who might want to renovate and sell for profit and developer/landlords who might renovate as an investment for rental to others.
The building is a four storey mid-terraced building, with the top floor within the attic space. The building is believed to be Victorian, and has been a guest house and residential dwelling until the mid-1990's. The building has been refurbished and extended to the rear to create office space in the mid-1990's, following approval of PA 95/00431/B. The front of the building bounds onto Mount Havelock and Christian Road, and has a rendered boundary wall with railings, giving only pedestrian access. To the rear, the property bounds onto the back lane providing vehicle and pedestrian access, with one car space. The roof is natural slate, with metal rooflights.
On the Mount Havelock façade, the walls are painted render, punctuated with a horizontal string course at first floor windowsill level, and a string course with decorative eaves brackets below the roof soffit line. The first-floor windows are topped with decorative pediments and corbels. The windows are uPVC framed sash look-a-like double glazed windows.

On the rear façade the walls are generally painted render with a section of timber cladding on ground floor. The windows are uPVC framed sash look-a-like double glazed windows.
Internally there is a central staircase with rooms off to both sides of the central stairwell. The building is heated and provided with hot water by a gas fired boiler central heating system.
The application site is located within the No. 4 St Georges Mixed Use Proposals Area in the Area Plan for the East, which says "Within the area, but outside of Athol Street, offices, financial and professional services, food and drink and some residential uses will also be acceptable." The site is also in the Windsor Road Conservation Area.
The proposals create a new 4-bedroom house. The rear extension which was built in the mid-1990s is proposed to be demolished to expose the original rear external wall, which will now be the rear external wall again. There are no proposed changes to the Mount Havelock/Christian Road façade. The Mount Havelock roof slope rooflights will be replaced with new pitched roof dormer windows that are similar in design to the roof dormers on the roof of No. 18 Mount Havelock. The Christian Road roof slope rooflights will be replaced with similar sized heritage-style rooflights. The existing uPVC windows will be replaced with similar sized sash look-a-like uPVC double glazed windows.
To the rear of the building once the extension is demolished the new external wall will be extended upwards to create more space in the roof for Bedroom 4. This new rooftop extension will be clad in a lead standing seam sheeting, with sliding folding doors and a glazed Juliet balustrade. The top of the new extension will be approximately level with the roof eaves of No. 1 Christian Road. The previously blocked up window apertures in the original external wall will now be opened up again and new uPVC windows fitted into the openings. On the first floor where the former extension will be removed, it is proposed to construct a balcony from the proposed Lounge to provide an area or sitting or dining outdoors. The balcony will have a glazed balustrade, part of which, when near to No. 1 Christian Road will be 2.5m high and obscured, with a lead rolled roof over. Access from the new Lounge to the balcony is by new sliding folding doors with a level threshold. It is also proposed to remove the timber clad wall, to create two car parking spaces, and a cycle store. There is also space at the rear for the bins and a 16Kw air source heat pump.
Internally the central stair will be retained, but an additional two flights will be added to provide a new access from second to third floor. The ground floor contains the entrance Porch, Hallway with a Cloak Room, Study, Toilet and a combined open-plan Kitchen/Dining Room. The first floor is shared by the new Lounge and Bedroom 1 with its ensuite. The remaining en-suite bedrooms are located on

the second and third floors. As stated above, the new rooftop extension and dormer windows will provide Bedroom 4, in the attic space, with more daylight and a greater floor area with additional headroom.
Energy and Thermal Efficiency
The energy strategy for the new house is to reduce demand, use energy more efficiently and to use renewable energy where possible. To reduce energy demand the building will be designed to have u-values for the floor, walls, windows, and roof that are lower than required by current Building Regulations; combined with a reduction in the air filtration rate to 3 cu.m/hr/sq.m. It is intended to use renewable energy with a 16Kw refrigerant based air source heat pump to provide heating and cooling throughout the house. A copy of the ASHP data sheet can be found in Appendix A. Due to its location and orientation the building roof is not suitable for solar panels. Overall, the proposed energy strategy is considered consistent with the IOM Government policy framework. When implemented, the development will provide an energy efficient and low carbon development, and no fossil fuels required to achieve compliance.
Drainage
It is proposed to simply connect into the existing drainage system within the property site and use the existing discharge drain to the existing public sewer in the lane at the rear of the property. By using the existing drain no new connection is needed to the public sewer.
Summary
The Applicant believes the proposed design drawings show that the proposals have been sensitively considered and will complement the traditional appearance of the existing facades. The Applicant respectfully requests that the application be granted approval.

All Heat Pumps must be installed by a qualified technician. Delivery available to mainland GB only, (Offshore and Northern Island is not available). We cannot accept the return of unwanted boilers if the box/packaging has been opened (your statutory rights are not affected).
Highly efficient source of heat and hot water, where outside air is blown through a network of tubes filled with R32 refrigerant. This warms up the refrigerant, and it turns from a liquid into a gas. The gas then passes through a compressor, which adds more heat. The compressed, hot gas passes into a heat exchanger and the refrigerant transfers its heat to the cool air or water, which is then circulated around the home to provide heating. The refrigerant condenses back into a cool liquid and repeats the cycle. Zero carbon if used with a renewable electrical tariff. Can closely match the running costs of other home heating systems. Low maintenance with a long service life and low running costs. Can be integrated with other heating emitters including underfloor heating and solar PV.
