The application site comprises of the curtilage of 23 Market Street, Peel which is a traditional two storey terraced property located south of Shore Road and west of Queen and Charles Street.
The proposed application seeks approval for the replacement of the windows to the front and rear elevations of the property. A "Conservation" type roof light would be installed to the front and rear elevations of the property.
Alterations to the rear out building would include, re-roofing and the installation of two 1160mm x 1000mm roof lights. The backyard would be re-paved with the installation of a new external oil fired boiler to the rear of the property.
In terms of local plan policy, the application site is located within an area designated as being "Mixed Use" and within the "Conservation Area" under the Peel Local Plan, 1989. There is a policy within the
Peel Written Statement (Planning Circular 6/89), which is considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application – Policy 9.16 states:
"Particular attention will be paid to the alteration or extension of a building within the Conservation Area which must be carried out in a manner sympathetic to the existing building and its setting".
The Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007 contains two policies which are considered specifically material to the assessment of this current planning application - General Policy 2 states:
"Development which is in accordance with the land-use zoning and proposals in the appropriate Area Plan and with other policies of this Strategic Plan will normally be permitted, provided that the development:
Environment Policy 35 states:
"Within Conservation Areas, the Department will permit only development which would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Area, and will ensure that the special features contributing to the character and quality are protected against inappropriate development."
The application site has had no previous planning applications.
The Department of Transport Highways Division and Peel Town Commissioners have not commented on the proposal.
Mr Crookall MHK has requested that he be kept informed of this and all other applications in the Peel area.
The application site is located identified as being within the area of mixed use in Peel and given the nature of the proposed development it is therefore appropriate to assess the proposal against the policy identified earlier within the report (i.e. Policy 9.16 of the Planning Circular 6/89, General Policy 2 and Environment Policy 35 of Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2007).
It is considered that the proposed alterations would be acceptable in that they would respect the application site and surroundings in terms of the form and design. The design of the proposed replacement windows, being timber sliding sash, would be in-keeping with the existing building and the surrounding area and would be sympathetic to its setting. Indeed the installation of timber sliding sash windows would enhance the character of the Peel Conservation Area.
The alterations to the rear out building are regarded as being minor and would be appropriate for the area, without adversely affect the amenity of local residents.
For these reasons the proposal is considered acceptable and it is recommended that the planning application be permitted.
It is considered that the following parties, who submitted comments, accord with the requirements of Planning Circular 1/06 and are therefore, afforded Interested Party Status:
Accordingly the following parties are not granted Interested Party Status:
Mr Crookall MHK
