The officer noted that a significant number of properties in the surrounding area already have uPVC windows and doors installed, making it unreasonable to oppose the proposed replacements.
Policy O/RES/P/21 of the Onchan Local Plan (Planning Circular 1/2000)
The policy states that extensions and alterations to existing residential property will generally not be opposed where such proposals are appropriate in terms of scale, massing, design, appearance and impact on adjacent property. The officer assessed the uPVC window and door replacement against these criteria, finding it appropriate given the widespread use of uPVC in the area and lack of amenity harm.
