Why was this refused?

Lack of justification under RB/5
Visual dominance on roofscape from quayside
Harm to registered building character
Out of scale in conservation area
Precedent from prior refusals/appeals

The proposal involved installing larger conservation-style roof lights on the prominent quayside-facing roof slope of Harbour House at 7 The Quay, Castletown, to improve light, views, and provide an escape route from the attic room.

Refusal Reasons

✗It is considered that there is not sufficient justification for the enlargement of the roof lights and that the appearance of three large roof lights as viewed from the quayside would be out of scale with the character and status of the registered building and the Conservation Area in which the property is situated. (Policy RB/5, Planning Policy Statement 1/01)
