THE PROPOSAL: Proposed here is the installation of a sign at the rear above the pedestrian gate. The sign will be timber, announcing access to the Garrison Top Bar only. The sign is modest in size and positioned over the gate. Lettering will be painted on.
As the property is located within the Castletown Conservation Area and is a Registered Building (RB 67) the content of this application has been considered with particular regard to Policy CA/2 SPECIAL PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS of Conservation Areas and POLICY RB/5 ALTERATIONS AND EXTENSIONS as set out within Planning Policy Statement 1/01- Policy and Guidance Notes for the Conservation of the Historic Environment of the Isle of Man.
Proposed is the erection of a painted timber sign at rear entrance over an existing gate. In considering an application on a Registered Building it is necessary to consider whether the proposals preserve or enhance the character of that Registered Building.
In this case the sign is very modest, is set back within the opening and is readily reversible. It is not considered to have an adverse impact on the character of the Registered Building or Conservation Area within which it sits.
Approve this application.
The Department of Transport and the local authority are, by virtue of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005, paragraph 6 (5) (c) and (d), considered "interested persons" and as such should be afforded party status.
