The site is not within a Conservation Area; however the site is within an area zoned as High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance. - Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982 - The Isle of Man Strategic Plan (20th June 2007) ### Planning History The following previous planning applications are considered relevant in the assessment and determination of this application: Installation of timber windows and doors to replace existing and French doors to replace existing window - 03/01489/B - APPROVED ## Proposal The application seeks approval for installation of replacement windows. The proposed uPVC rosewood finish windows would replace the existing timber casement windows. ### Representations Maughold Commissioners:- "The Commission wishes to record no objection to these to these proposals." The Planning Authority has received no privately written representations objecting to the application. ### Assessment / Recommendation The application site is located within an area of "High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance" on the Isle of Man Development Plan, 1982. Within the adopted Isle of Man Strategic Plan, the following policy is considered relevant - ### General Policy 3: Development will not be permitted outside of those areas which are zoned for development on the appropriate Area Plan with the exception of: - (a) essential housing for agricultural workers who have to live close to their place of work; (Housing Policies 7, 8, 9 and 10); - (b) conversion of redundant rural buildings which are of architectural, historic, or social value and interest; (Housing Policy 11); - (c) previously developed land(1) which contains a significant amount of building; where the continued use is redundant; where redevelopment would reduce the impact of the current situation on the landscape or the wider environment; and where the development proposed would result in improvements to the landscape or wider environment; - (d) the replacement of existing rural dwellings; (Housing Policies 12, 13 and 14); - (e) location-dependent development in connection with the working of minerals or the provision of necessary services; - (f) building and engineering operations which are essential for the conduct of agriculture or forestry; - (g) development recognised to be of overriding national need in land use planning terms and for which there is no reasonable and acceptable alternative; and - (h) buildings or works required for interpretation of the countryside, its wildlife or heritage. The proposals would vastly improve the appearance of the property given the poor state of repair of the existing timber windows. It is considered the proposal would be more in keeping with the traditional nature of the property, and therefore beneficial to the visual appearance of the street scene. ### Recommendation Overall, it is considered the proposals would be acceptable for the reasons given previously within this report and therefore comply with the relevant planning policies. Accordingly, the proposals would be appropriate in these locations and therefore the application is recommended for an approval ### Party Status It is considered that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status: ## Recommendation Recommended Decision: Permitted Date of Recommendation: 20.03.2009 Conditions and Notes for Approval / Reasons and Notes for Refusal C : Conditions for approval N : Notes attached to conditions R : Reasons for refusal - : Notes attached to refusals C 1.
