Officer’s Report
THE SITE 1.1 The application site is the curtilage of Number 11, Lime Street, Port St Mary an existing two storey terraced property located on the eastern side of the road. The existing property is a Manx cottage with a front elevation directly joining the main highway; this façade is finished in painted render and has an existing timber front door located centrally to the ground floor.
1.2 The existing door is part timber and part glazed. At the base the door is solid timber with a detailed two panel design. Above the door is glazed and finished with a glazing bar pattern creating 6 glazed sections.
1.3 The site is located within the Port St Mary Conservation Area.
THE PROPOSAL 2.1 The current application proposes the replacement of the existing timber door only with a brown four panel 'timber finish' composite door with a solid uPVC base and glazed opaque panel above. No detail is proposed to the base.
PLANNING HISTORY 3.1 The site has been subject to three previous planning applications, one of which could be considered material in the assessment of this application.

PLANNING POLICY 4.1 The application site is located within an area of 'Residential' as identified on the Area Plan for the South 2013, and also within the proposed Port St. Mary Conservation Area. Given the nature of the of the land designation paragraph 7.29.2 and Environment Policy 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan, which set out development in Conservation Areas will only be permitted where they preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the area are relevant.

6.1.1 The main issues to consider in the assessment of this planning application are:
6.2 CHARACTER AND APPEARANCE 6.2.1 When looking at the character and appearance of the proposed works on the surrounding area, the main impact would be making sure that the works preserve or enhance the Conservation Area.
