Proposed is the raising of the level of the pedestrian access to the shop, which is presently below footway level. This will allow better access to the shop. A new door is also proposed a replica of the existing in hardwood and which matches that in the other part of the terrace. These works are not detrimental to the appearance of the Conservation Area and improve pedestrian access to the shop, which should be encouraged. ## Summary of objections/views Onchan District Commissioners - OK Recommendations Approve Signed Date [Table omitted in markdown export]
