The officer assessed the proposal against conservation policies, noting the site's location in Ramsey Conservation Area requires developments to preserve or enhance character.
Strategic Policy 1
Requires optimising use of redundant buildings and previously developed land. Officer noted proposal fails as demolition removes viable structure without justification, favouring retention or re-use over car parking.
Strategic Policy 4
Demands protection/enhancement of Conservation Areas. Terrace contributes positively to setting, and demolition harms fabric without enhancement from tarmac car park.
General Policy 1
Requires regard to Development Plan. Proposal conflicts with conservation policies in Strategic Plan and PPS 1/01.
General Policy 2
Permits development respecting townscape character and not adversely affecting locality. Demolition harms townscape and historic character.
Environment Policy 35
Permits only development preserving/enhancing Conservation Area character. Terrace's demolition fails this test.
Environmental Policy 39
Presumption in favour of retaining positive contributors. Applies directly to terrace despite redundancy.
Planning Policy Statement 1/01 - Policy CA/2 (Conservation Areas)
Impact on special character a material consideration. Demolition affects conservation area setting and views.
CA/6 Demolition in Conservation Areas
Presumption against demolishing positive contributors; requires merits of replacement. Car park lacks merit, no sensitive re-use proposed.
