THIS APPLICATION IS REFERRED TO THE PLANNING COMMITTEE ON THE BASIS THAT THE SCHEME PROPOSES MORE THAN EIGHT RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND THE SCHEME WILL BE SUBJECT TO A SECTION 13 AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE THE AFFORDABLE HOMES
1.1 The site is the curtilage of two former hotels - Windsor House and the Brobourne Hotel situated towards the lower end of Port Erin upper promenade. The former buildings appeared as a block of property - the Brobourne Hotel and Windsor House - which sat on the eastern side of the Promenade between Victoria Square and Marina Lane and with a rear lane running behind the building between the two side roads. The two buildings were in fact, not identical nor formed part of a symmetrical or uniform unit - Windsor House sat on the northern side of the site and was a four storey property with three projecting three sided four storey bays and with pitched roofed dormers between. Brobourne Hotel was a three storey building with some attic accommodation with one three storey bay with dormer atop. The buildings were both rendered with string courses and some dentilled cornicing beneath the slated roof and with vertically proportioned sliding sash windows. 1.2 The buildings have recently been demolished and works on the site are well underway for the erection of the apartments approved under PA 12/00169/B (see Planning History).
2.1 Whilst works have commenced, they are not substantially completed, and the Planning Authority is not able to consider amendments to a proposal, it is required to consider the whole scheme again (but give significant weight to the previous approvals). It should be noted however, in this case, the only changes to the previously approved scheme are the installation of a ramp to the front elevation and the omission of the substation to the rear and replacement with the same sized building to form a store. 2.2 Due to the above reason, the submission seeks approval for the erection of a five storey building to provide nine apartments and basement car parking (Amendments to PA 12/00169/B). The proposal would accommodate nine apartments over six floors including a basement and accommodation within the roof. There will be 20 spaces provided, more than two per apartment in the basement which will be accessed from Victoria Square rather than Marina Lane as was proposed in an earlier unsuccessful application. With the exception of the
bin store and the store on the rear which are both single storey flat roofed structures, the building will be 5 m from the edge of the rear lane which is significantly less than the footprint of the existing buildings. 2.3 The present building has dormers which extend above the eaves line and disguise most of the pitched slated roofing behind. The proposed building will be between 2.5 m and 2.8 m higher than the existing and slightly higher -1.5 m - than the building to the north (the Grosvenor Hotel). The new building will have three projecting square bays which extend up to eaves level with glazed features at penthouse level slightly set back ( 0.5 m ) from the main frontage with the main part of the penthouse units set back by 3.5 m . Between the first and third floors there are balconies separated by additional, smaller projecting features. The windows are generally square in shape but subdivided internally with transoms which present a vertical appearance. The mansard roof behind the roof level glazing will be finished in imitation slate with pitched roofed dormers in the side and rear elevations. The elevational drawings show different shading within the elevation on the elevations - the photomontage shows a building which is painted all the same colour (white) with Ashlar scribing on the first two floors above ground level. 2.4 Access to the parking spaces in the basement is via Victoria Square which accommodates the Erin Arts Centre, a workshop and residential properties. 2.5 Unlike the Marina Lane frontage, the side elevation to Victoria Square has a full width footway from which the building is set back. A new 1 m wide footway is proposed on the Marina Lane side of the building. 2.6 As with the previous application, the applicant has indicated that rather than providing 25 % of the apartments through the Department's affordable housing provision, as the apartments generally are too large to comply with this, it will make an appropriate payment of a commuted sum, in accordance with Housing Policy 5 of the Strategic Plan.
3.1 In the Southern Area Plan the site lies within an area designated as Predominantly Residential. The Plan identifies a number of hotels which are considered appropriate to retain as such. The hotels on the application site are not included. 3.2 In addition, the following policies from the Strategic Plan are considered relevant: 3.3 Environment Policy 42 states: "New development in existing settlements must be designed to take account of the particular character and identity, in terms of buildings and landscape features of the immediate locality. Inappropriate backland development, and the removal of open or green spaces which contribute to the visual amenity and sense of place of a particular are will not be permitted. Those open or green spaces which are to be preserved will be identified in Area Plans". 3.4 General Policy 2 states: "Development which is in accordance with the land-use zoning and proposals in the appropriate Area Plan and with other policies of this Strategic Plan will normally be permitted, provided that the development: (a) is in accordance with the design brief in the Area Plan where there is such a brief; (b) respects the site and surroundings in terms of the siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping of buildings and the spaces around them; (c) does not affect adversely the character of the surrounding landscape or townscape; (d) does not adversely affect the protected wildlife or locally important habitats on the site or adjacent land, including water courses; (e) does not affect adversely public views of the sea; (f) incorporates where possible existing topography and landscape features, particularly trees and sod banks;
(g) does not affect adversely the amenity of local residents or the character of the locality; (h) provides satisfactory amenity standards in itself, including where appropriate safe and convenient access for all highway users, together with adequate parking, servicing and manoeuvring space; (i) does not have an unacceptable effect on road safety or traffic flows on the local highways; (j) can be provided with all necessary services; (k) does not prejudice the use or development of adjoining land in accordance with the appropriate Area Plan; (1) is not on contaminated land or subject to unreasonable risk of erosion or flooding; (m) takes account of community and personal safety and security in the design of buildings and the spaces around them; and (n) is designed having due regard to best practice in reducing energy consumption." 3.5 Housing Policy 5 states: "In granting planning permission on land zoned for residential development or in predominantly residential areas the department will normally require that 25 % of provision should be made up of affordable housing. This policy will apply to developments of 8 dwellings or more". This policy was adopted by Tynwald resolution in July 2005 ahead of approval of the Strategic Plan in July 2007. 3.6 Appendix 7 states: "New built residential development should be provided with two parking spaces per dwelling, at least one of which should be within the curtilage of the dwelling and behind the front of the dwelling, although the amount and location of parking will vary in respect of development such as terracing, apartments, and sheltered housing. In the case of town centre and previously developed sites, the Department will consider reducing this requirement having regard to: a) the location of the housing relative to public transport, employment and public amenities, b) the size of the dwelling, c) any restriction on the nature of the occupancy (such as sheltered housing) and d) the impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area (paragraph A.7.1). This goes on to recommend that one space is provided for a one bedroomed apartment, 2 spaces for two or more bedrooms but that "These standards may be relaxed where development: a) would secure the re-use of a Registered Building or a building of architectural or historic interest; or b) would result in the preservation of a sensitive streetscape, or c) is otherwise of benefit to the character of a Conservation Area d) is within a reasonable distance of an existing or proposed bus route and it can be demonstrated a reduced level of parking will not result in unacceptable on street parking in the locality" (A.7.6).
4.1 The following applications have been submitted in respect of this site:
PA 87/1720 - erection of replacement a new board, Windsor House - permitted PA 87/4521 - alterations to convert newsagent's and kitchen into cafe, newsagent's and Brobourne Hotel - permitted PA 88/0589 - erection of fire escape, Windsor House - permitted PA 89/0798 - construction of new classroom extension, Institute of Hospitality, Windsor House - permitted on appeal
PA 89/1303 - internal alterations to upgrade, Brobourne House - permitted PA 91/1740 - formation of new door to laundry, Windsor House - permitted PA 94/0503 - change of use to children's playgroup, Da Vinci's restaurant, Brobourne Hotel refused PA 99/2332 - installation of uPVC windows, International Hotel School (Brobourne Hotel) permitted PA 05/1381 - installation of uPVC top opening casement windows - refused and PA 07/0989 - demolition of existing building and erection of five storey building and basement to accommodate 14 apartments and 23 parking spaces which was refused by the Planning
Committee and the refusal confirmed on appeal for reasons relating to the appearance of the building in the context of its setting. PA 09/01388 - erection of a five storey building to accommodate nine apartments - permitted. PA 12/00169/B - erection of a five storey building to provide nine apartments and associated parking (Amendments to 09/01388/B) - permitted.
5.1 Highways and Traffic Division indicate that the proposal complies with their requirements and standards 5.2 Port Erin Commissioners indicate that they approve the application. 5.3 The Environmental Health Division of Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture advise that the resultant apartments will need to be registered under the Housing (Flats) Regulations 1982. This is not a material consideration and should not be referred to in the decision notice. 5.4 The Manx Electricity Authority and IOM Water & Sewerage Authority make no comments on the merits of the application but ask for an informative note is attached to any approval. 5.5 Department Of Social Care - Housing state; "Since this is an application for minor amendments to PA 12/0169/B for which a Section 13 Agreement has been executed to address the issues of affordable housing, I have no further comment to make.
I expect that the Section 13 Agreement would need to be amended to include reference to any subsequent planning approval."
6.1 The proposals are very similar to that which already has approval which has been commenced. It is considered the building as proposed in terms of design, proportion and finish would be appropriate within the streetscene and would not have any significant impacts upon either public or private amenities. 6.2 The installation of a ramp to the front elevation will not be very noticeable from the street scene, as the majority will be located behind walling, which would appear very similar to the previous approval. The works will give better accessibility for occupants/visitors of the building. 6.3 To the rear the alterations to the previously approved substation building to a store room are very minor. The most noticeable change would be the removal of a pair of double doors to the south elevation which are no longer required. The building in terms of its design, finish and size is identical to the previous approved scheme, other than the removal of the door. 6.4 In terms of parking provision the 20 parking spaces located within the basement level would more than meet the parking requirement as laid out within Appendix 7 of the Isle Of Man Strategic Plan (i.e. in this case two spaces per apartment). The Highway Division have no objection to the proposal.
7.1 Overall, the site is an important one both in the streetscene and for the character of the village and what is proposed will enhance the streetscene and the vibrancy of the village. As such the application is considered to be acceptable and would comply with the relevant policy of the Isle Of Man Strategic Plan therefore it is recommended that the application be approved.
8.1 It is considered that the following meet the criteria of Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (d) and should be afforded interested party status:
Port Erin Commissioners 8.2 The Department of Transport Highways and Traffic Division is now part of the Department of Infrastructure of which the planning authority is part. As such, the Highways and Traffic Division cannot be afforded party status in this instance. 8.3 It is considered that the following do not meet the criteria of Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (d) and should not be afforded interested party status:
