The proposal involves replacing an existing timber front door with deep moulded panelling and glazed panels (retaining the top fanlight) with a new uPVC door and surrounding frame at a two-storey terraced dwelling in the Windsor Road Conservation Area.

The key issue was whether the uPVC front door with surrounding frame would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Windsor Road Conservation Area.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 from the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 is relevant but not detailed; assessed as compliant in the overall determination. Environment Policy 35 requires development in conservation areas to preserve or enhance character and protect special features. The officer tested the uPVC door against this, finding it out of keeping but acceptable due to local variety and existing uPVC windows.
Environment Policy 35
Requires permission only for development preserving or enhancing conservation area character. The uPVC door was found not to enhance but not harmful enough for refusal given street scene variety and site precedents. CA/2 from Planning Policy Statement 1/01 also relevant for conservation area protection.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
