Why was this refused?

Conservation Area impact
visibility from public highway
window pattern less attractive than existing
appropriateness of design in historic context

The application sought permission to install new uPVC casement windows, hinged at the top and opening outwards, to replace the existing windows on the side and rear elevations of 3A Derby Road, Douglas, IM2 3ES.

Refusal Reasons

✗The site is within the Conservation Area, and all parts of the building are visible from the public highway; whilst the rear annex is not traditional and does not make a positive contribution to the appearance of the Area, the proposed window pattern would in fact be less attractive and less appropriate than the existing; the proposed development would thus have an adverse impact on the appearance of the Conservation Area.
