This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) The proposed commemorative plaque is judged to be of a design, size and scale that would preserve and protect the building's special interest and its setting; and the proposed positon is considered to be one that would respect the building and its setting. Although aluminium itself could not be judged to be a traditional material, painted metal in general is one of the finishes used for signage in and around the stations and on the historic rolling stock of the Isle of Man Railway. As such, the use of painted aluminium is considered to be acceptable in this instance. The application is therefore recommended for approval. The application is therefore judged to be acceptable.
