The site is a mid-tenure house at 27 Derby Road, Douglas, IM2 3ES, located within the Derby Road Conservation Area. The proposal involved replacing the original painted timber sliding sash windows on the first floor front elevation with white uPVC-framed casement windows.

Refusal Reasons

✗The site is within a Conservation Area, and the existing painted timber sliding-sash windows contribute positively to the appearance and character of this Area; the installation of PVC-framed casement windows as proposed would be out of keeping with the original architecture, and would not preserve or enhance the appearance of the area.
