**Name:** Allegro Ltd
**Proposal:** Installation of uPVC bottom opening casement windows to replace existing 1st and 2nd floor windows

### Reasons For Refusal:

1. The Planning Committee considers the proposed replacement windows to be unacceptable on the grounds that:
a) the building occupies a prominent position within Ramsey Conservation Area and that as such the use of uPVC bottom opening casement windows would be detrimental to the visual amenity and overall character of the Conservation Area;
b) the building is located close to Ramsey Courthouse, which is a Registered Building, and the use of uPVC bottom opening casement windows would be detrimental to the setting of this Registered Building; and
c) the use of the proposed replacement windows within a building in a Conservation Area is contrary to the provisions of Planning Circular 1/98 – The Alteration and Replacement of Windows.

2. This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 of the Isle of Man Planning Scheme (Development Plan) Order 1982.

Note 1: The decision contained in this notice does not become final until:-
- the time for requesting a review of the initial decision has expired; or
- any review of the initial decision has been completed; or
- the time for requesting an appeal in relation to any decision at review has expired; or
- any appeal has been completed.

Note 2: Rights of review against the decision are attached.
