1. The installation of top opening casement windows to replace the first and second floor front elevation sliding sash windows of No. 10 Church Road and second floor front elevation sliding sash windows of No. 8 Church Road would not preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the existing building, street scene of Church Road and proposed Port Erin Conservation Area which would be contrary to Environment Policy 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan.
2. The casement windows in the first and second floor of the front elevations would not have the original method of opening and therefore would be contrary to Planning Circular 1/98.
3. The removal of the chimneys would represent the loss of a special feature which contributes toward the character of the application site buildings and terrace and would therefore undermine the appearance of the row of buildings which are located within the proposed Port Erin Conservation Area.
