# Decision Notice

Leonard Chatel Holly Bank Little Switzerland Douglas IM2 6AG

TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1999 The Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure)(No 2) Order 2013

In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture determined to REFUSE an application by Leonard Chatel, Ref 17/00363/B, for the Replacement of existing first and second floor windows to front elevation with double glazed pvc casement windows at 29A Malew Street Castletown Isle Of Man IM9 1AD for the following reason(s):

1. At present, 29A Market Street makes a positive contribution to the quality and character of the streetscene by virtue, in part, of its traditional sliding sash window styles. The proposed top-opening, uPVC-framed casement windows are not of a form that reflects the traditional window styles in this prominent part of Castletown's Conservation Area. The loss of the sliding sash units would harmfully impact upon the character and appearance of the dwelling and the Conservation Area in which it sits, contrary to Circular 1/98 and General Policy 2 and Environment Policy 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016.

Date of Issue: 25th May 2017

## Director of Planning and Building Control
