Refusal Notice 12/01298/B

Progeny Ltd 51A Victoria Street Douglas Isle of Man IM1 2LD

Town and Country Planning Act 1999

The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005

On 24th October 2012, and in pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order, the Department of Infrastructure determined to REFUSE planning application 12/01298/B by Mr Edward Ramshaw for the installation of replacement windows and doors to front, side and rear elevations at 6 Marlborough Terrace Douglas Isle of Man IM2 3QJ for the following reason:

1. Whilst the proposed replacement windows within the front (southeast) and side (southwest) elevations have the same method of opening as the original windows they do not have the same pattern and section of glazing bars as the original windows. Specifically, the proposed replacement windows do not include the six smaller insets found at the top of the existing windows. The failure to include these means that the proposed replacement windows do not accord with the relevant provisions of Planning Circular 1/98. This existing feature is an attractive element within the overall character of the dwelling. Their loss within the replacement windows fails to preserve or enhance the character of the Conservation Area and is contrary to the provisions of Planning Circular 1/98 and Environment Policy 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007.

Date of Issue: 25th October 2012

M Gallyher Director of Planning and Building Control
