Officer's Report

The Application Site

The dwelling Palm Cottage, The Curragh, Ballaugh, is a two storey detached property which is located northeast of Ballaugh Village.

Planning Policy

The application site is within an area recognised as being an area of 'white land' not zoned for development, under the Isle of Man Development Plan Order 1982. The site is not within a Conservation Area, however is within an area zoned as high landscape value or costal or scenic significance

Proposal

The application proposes the installation of uPVC windows to replace existing timber windows. The existing windows are timber sliding sash the replacements would be uPVC sliding sash windows with the Georgian Bar configuration.

Representations

Ballaugh Parish Commissioners advise that they have no objection

We have received no privately written representations objecting to the application.

Assessment / Recommendation

The installation of the uPVC sliding sash windows is acceptable as it would not cause any adverse visual impacts to the detriment of the surrounding area or to the property itself. For this reason the windows would be appropriate in this location and therefore my recommendation is for an approval.
