Officer's Report
The Site
The application site represents the curtilage of 24 Princes Street, Douglas. The dwelling is a midterraced Victorian property located on the north western side of Princes Street.
The Proposal
Proposed is the installation of a replacement front door and fanlight above. The existing door and fanlight are painted timber and the proposed would be white upvc.
Planning History
There are no previous planning applications which are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application.
Development Plan Policies
The application site is located within an area designated as Predominantly Residential Use in the Douglas Local Plan 1998, Map No. 1 (Central Area). The site is not located within a Conservation Area.
The relevant planning policy from the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 is General Policy 2.
Consultations
Douglas Corporation have no objection to the proposal.
Representations
No written responses have been received from the general public.
Assessment
The application site is not within a Conservation Area and nor is it a Registered Building. The application is proposing to install a front door in white upvc. Other properties within the street already have upvc doors. The proposal would therefore not look out of keeping in the context of the street scene and would have no adverse affects.
Recommendation
For the above reasons this application is considered to be acceptable and is recommended for approval.
Party Status
The local authority is, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered an "interested person" and as such should be afforded party status.
