Mr Guy Burton & Mrs Helen Airey 36 Malew Street Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1AF
Town and Country Planning Act 1999
The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005
On 3rd April 2013, and in pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order, the Department of Infrastructure determined to REFUSE planning application 13/00224/B by Mr Guy Burton & Mrs Helen Airey for the Window alterations to dwelling (retrospective) at 36 Malew Street Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1AF for the following reason(s):
- The proposed replacement window, by reason of its inappropriate design, excessive size and proportions, glazing bar design and UPVC materials, is unsympathetic to, and out of keeping with, the character and appearance of the main house and its surroundings. The window is located in a prominent location and is readily visible from the street and public views. The proposal has a harmful impact upon the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and fails to accord with Environmental Policy 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 and Policy CA/2 of Planning Policy Statement 1/01. It is considered that there are no material considerations that warrant the granting of planning permission contrary to these policies.
