Officer's Report
Site The property 6 Taubman Street, Ramsey, is part of a row of two storey terraced properties located on the southern side of Taubman Street.
Land Use Zoning The site has been zoned under the Ramsey Local Plan Order 1998 as being within an area of predominately town centre use; the site is not within Ramsey Conservation Area.
- The Ramsey Local Plan
- The Isle of Man Strategic Plan (20th June 2007)
Planning History There are no previous planning applications which are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application.
Proposal The application seeks approval for the installation of retrospective replacement windows. Replacements are uPVC top opening casement windows.
Representations The Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the application.
Assessment / recommendation The property is not within a Conservation Area, nor is the property a Registered Building. Additionally, there are more windows of this style and design along Taubman Street compared to the more traditional sliding sash windows which would have been the original design, therefore the replacement windows are in keeping with the existing street scene. For these reasons the proposals would not be appropriate in these locations and therefore my recommendation is for a refusal.
Party Status I consider that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:
The Ramsey Commissioners Highways Division
