In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure has under application reference 13/01370/D, DECLINED CONSENT to Thyme and Plaice Ltd, for the erection of illuminated signage and menu board at Jean Pierre's Bistro Ground Floor Court Row Chambers Court Row Ramsey Isle of Man IM8 1JS for the following reason(s):

1. The three signs proposed to surround the entrance door, by failing to use traditional materials and by failing to exclude glossy or reflective surfaces, are not of a form appropriate to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and, as such, fail to comply with Environment Policy 37 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan (2007).

NOTE Whilst there is no objection to the Eiffel Tower images and the menu board, as the decision cannot be split and there are elements which are not considered acceptable, the decision must be to refuse the entire application. The applicant is advised that NO consent is hereby issued for ANY of the signage proposed as part of their application for express consent to erect an advertisement and the elements which are not considered objectionable must form the subject of a further application which must be approved before these signs become lawful.
