Tel 01624 685950 TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Registered Buildings) Regulations 2013 In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to APPROVE an application by Mr Stephen Hamer, Ref 25/00731/CON, for the Registered Buildings Consent for the replacement of eight high-level windows - RB248 (in association with 25/90740/GB) at Michael Parish Church Main Road Kirk Michael Isle Of Man IM6 1ER. Any conditions or notes which apply to the approval are set out below. This approval is subject to compliance with any conditions listed and may not be implemented until it becomes final (see guidance notes). 1. The works hereby granted registered building consent shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this consent. Reason: To comply with paragraph 2(2)(a) of schedule 3 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented registered building consents. 2. Prior to the commencement of works, a preliminary assessment for roosting bats and summer emergence surveys shall been undertaken by a suitably qualified ecological consultancy and a report including a ecological mitigation plan be submitted to and approved in writing by the Department. Thereafter the ecological mitigation plan is to be carried out in full. Reason: To ensure the development results in no harm to the statutory protected species. This decision relates to the supporting information and schedule of work submitted on 1.8.2025. NOTE The applicant should note that it is a legal requirement for a written method statement to be obtained from the DEFA Ecosystem Policy Team prior to any works commencing on parts of the building where active bat roosts are present. This is in line with sections 9 and 10 of the Wildlife Act 1990. The applicant is directed to get in contact with DEFA Ecology on 651577 at least 4 weeks before works are due to take place and ideally 2 months before, so that this written advice can be provided. This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) The application meets the statutory test within section 16 of the Act, as the building and its features of special architectural and historic interest are being preserved by the replacement tower windows. It is also judged that the application would accord with Strategic Policy 4 and Environment Policy 32 of the Strategic Plan as the proposed works would protect and preserve the building's special interest. The application is therefore considered to be acceptable.
