Why was this refused?

harm to building's traditional character and appearance
predominance of sliding sash windows in the building and street scene
not like-for-like replacement
precedent for other older buildings
objection from Port Erin Commissioners

The proposal involved installing uPVC top-opening casement windows throughout Windsor House, a block of five properties fronting the Promenade in Port Erin, to replace the original sliding sash windows.

Refusal Reasons

✗The building is an attractive one which retains most of its original detailing and character. The installation of modern casement windows as a replacement for the existing sliding sashes which are the predominant style of glazing in the building would undermine the traditional and attractive appearance and character of the building and establish an unfortunate precedent for the replacement of the original sliding sash windows in other older buildings in the street-scene.
