Tel 01624 685950 You therefore are encouraged to ensure that your proposed development includes alternatives to fossil fuel heating systems if you believe that such works will not be completed by that date. To this end, if you propose an alternative, such as air source or ground source heat pump(s), or any other heating system that would require planning approval, the details of this should be addressed now. This may require you to resubmit your planning application to accommodate the alternative permitted heating system proposed. This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) On balance, the application is considered to meet the tests of section 18 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999 and Environment Policy 35 within the IOM Strategic Plan 2016, as the character of the Conservation Area is being preserved. The proposals are also judged to comply with General Policy 2, Strategic Policy 4, Transport Policies 4 and 7, and Environment Policy 4, and the principles promoted by the Residential Design Guide, as the works would not affect adversely the character of the locality or surrounding townscape, or parking and highway safety, and no significant adverse impacts on neighbouring amenity would result from the proposal.
