The proposal involves fitting three non-opening white uPVC glazing panels, each 1.7m wide by 1.4m high, into a 5.2m wide by 1.4m high existing opening on the newer part of Douglas Head Apartments, which currently allows rain ingress into the garage.

The proposed glazing is in a part of the building not visible from any public position, as the highway is lower and cliffs obscure the south-west elevation.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 of the Strategic Plan is the most relevant policy given the site's Residential and Offices zoning under the Douglas Local Plan. The officer tested the proposal's impact on architectural character, concluding the utilitarian glazing in the non-visible, plain aperture causes no harm and would not justify refusal. Paragraphs 7.26-7.28.1 of the policy do not directly apply.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
