The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals. This decision relates to drawings P-006, P-007 and the other supporting information detailing the lead roof covering to the clock tower belfry, all received 17.2.2025. This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) It is judged that the proposal meets the tests of Section 16 and 18 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999 as the registered building's special interest is being preserved and the character of the conservation area is being preserved. The proposals are also judged to meet the tests of Strategic Policy 4, Environment Policies 32 and 35 of the Isle of Man Strategic Plan 2016, and Planning Policy Statement 1/01, as the registered building and conservation area is being protected and preserved. The proposals are also judged to meet the tests of General Policy 2 as the replacement roof would respect the site and its surrounding as well as causing no adverse impact to the character of the surrounding townscape. The application is therefore judged to be acceptable.
